About Kay
Kay Tarry, NCPS, supports people dealing with anxiety, stress and life changes. She helps when grief, trauma or low self esteem make everyday life hard. Her approach is practical and down to earth, aimed at small, manageable steps rather than big, sudden changes.
She listens and asks questions to help you sort out thoughts and feelings. Sessions include gentle challenges and goal setting. Kay works to help people put the past to rest and build coping strategies that fit real life.
Background and approach
Her work over the last ten years has focused on people who have experienced abuse, neglect, bullying or other traumatic events. She also supports those facing career questions, relationship strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness and body image concerns. She has experience with a wide range of issues from anger and codependency to sexual diversity and blended family challenges.
Kay uses a pluralistic style. That means she mixes different therapies to suit each person. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives and emotion-focused tools to shape sessions around your needs.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to your comfort. You can expect straightforward conversation, practical coping skills and small experiments to try between meetings. Kay aims to help people feel less stuck and more able to make the changes they want.
Approaches that shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice unhelpful thoughts without getting caught up in them and to choose actions that match your values. It can support people dealing with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that maintain worry or low mood.Kay works collaboratively to find which approach fits best. She will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as you go. Finding the right mix is part of the work rather than a fixed decision made at the start.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit those with less bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when typing fits better into a busy day. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs while letting the therapist use the chosen approaches in ways that work online.
