About Tarulata
Tarulata Mathur is a PACFA counsellor who uses practical, human-centred approaches to help people manage anxiety and related struggles. She speaks English, Gujarati and Hindi and draws on 25 years of experience in public sectors, non-profits and independent practice in Australia and overseas. She focuses on straightforward, compassionate support so people feel heard and able to make changes.
Tarulata prefers video calls and phone sessions because she finds they help capture emotions and build connection in real time.
Background and approach
She currently offers sessions on weekends to fit alongside other work commitments. She invites people to look at her calendar and choose a time and format that suits them. In sessions she encourages clients to use their own strengths and knowledge of their life story.
Conversations include practical skills for managing stress and anxiety, and time to talk through relationship or family issues, grief, trauma and mood concerns. She also supports people dealing with immigration and multicultural challenges. Her style blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed listening.
She works collaboratively and aims to help people set realistic goals and try small changes between sessions. Longstanding experience with diverse organisations informs her flexible approach. Tarulata describes therapy as a step-by-step process.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space and focuses on helping people build better communication, reduce worry, and find more meaning. Taking the first step is recognised as courageous and she supports clients through that initial move.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Tarulata draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her online work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thinking and commit to small actions that match their values, which can reduce anxiety and increase purpose. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they connect with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their goals and life circumstances. Together they review what techniques suit the presenting issue and adapt sessions if something isn’t working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is preferred for emotional nuance and real-time interaction, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections, check-ins between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and needs, and make it easier to fit therapy into weekend availability.
