About Kay
Kay Tarry is an NCPS counsellor with ten years' experience. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and major life changes. She also works with issues around relationships, career decisions and depression.
She listens, asks questions and offers gentle challenges. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than long theory. Kay helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and test small changes in day-to-day life.
Her background includes long experience with people who have experienced abuse, neglect, bullying or other traumatic events. She also regularly sees clients struggling with confidence, worry and coping after big life changes. That experience shapes how she plans short-term goals and coping strategies.
Kay uses a pluralistic approach. That means she draws on several methods and chooses what fits each person's situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based ideas, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and client-centred practice when useful.
Sessions are practical and structured. Work may include spotting thinking patterns, practising new responses and setting achievable homework between meetings. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes that can make daily life easier.
People are encouraged to notice what helps and to adjust the plan as they go. Kay supports clients to test different ways of responding and to bring those that work into ordinary routines.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Kay commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside Attachment-Based ideas. CBT helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours in small steps, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. ACT focuses on values and practical actions people can try even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how past experiences shape current reactions, which can help with trust and relational concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then tries methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process so plans are adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it simpler to attend from different locations, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce time spent travelling. Registered and accredited professionals can help shape a plan that fits around work, family and other commitments.
