About Kay
Kay Tarry, NCPS, supports people dealing with codependency, trauma, anxiety and low self-esteem. She listens, asks questions and helps clients set practical goals. Sessions focus on making life changes that feel manageable and meaningful. Kay aims to help people move from feeling stuck to coping better and feeling more confident.
Kay has worked in this field for 10 years. Much of her practice has involved supporting people who have experienced abuse, neglect, bullying or other traumatic events. She also helps those facing grief, relationship strain, career stress and ongoing health challenges.
Her working style is pluralistic. That means she mixes different therapeutic approaches to fit each person. Sessions are shaped around what the client already knows and can do, rather than following a single method.
In practical terms, Kay uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches as well as acceptance and commitment ideas. She also draws on attachment-focused work and techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy when they are useful. The emphasis is on simple, usable strategies people can try between sessions.
Kay describes therapy as a collaborative process. She offers gentle challenge alongside support and helps clients form clear, realistic steps. This helps people put the past to rest and build a life that feels more under their control.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and difficulties that feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current trust and connection, and can help with relationship patterns and feelings of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kay will discuss your needs and preferences and try methods that feel useful. The first sessions are often about figuring out what fits and setting small, clear goals you can try between meetings.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day and to maintain continuity of care when travel is difficult. Some formats may be simpler for a quick check-in while others support a longer, in-depth conversation. Discuss practical arrangements with Kay when scheduling so sessions suit your routine and goals.
