SOMETIMES THE SMALLEST STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ENDS UP BEING THE BIGGEST STEP OF YOUR LIFE
TARA COLEMAN-STARR (MBACP)
Hello, my name is Tara. Firstly, a genuine and heartfelt welcome. I'm an experienced and qualified counsellor with a history of working with a variety of issues including: depression, anxiety, relationship problems (couples and families), ADHD, low self-esteem, anger, bereavement, dissociative disorders, and much more.
As an integrative counsellor, I believe that you are entirely unique, and so your counselling should be tailored to you and your needs. Because of that, I have specialised in up-to-date counselling theories at an advanced level, so that we can collaborate to discover what works for you - getting you from where you are, to where you want to be.
I aim to provide warmth, care and safety to enable you to be yourself and talk about your problems without fear of judgement. I also aim to offer new perspectives and coping tools to empower you to change your situation, grow in confidence and thrive instead of survive. In short, I aim to help you become your best, healthiest self.

WHAT I WORK WITH
WHY CHOOSE HEALING ROOTS?
Educated
I have completed a three-year honours degree in counselling, not a one-year certificate or diploma as is common.
This means you will be counselled by someone who has learned a bredth of up-to-date counselling theory recommeded for use today.
Experienced
I have over seven years of experience working one-to-one with people in a therapeutic capacity and have worked with charities such as Mind.
You can be sure that you are in competent, ethical, and caring hands when you choose Healing Roots.
Value
At Healing Roots, sessions run for a full hour, not 50-minutes as is common, meaning you get more session time for the same or better rates than other therapists might charge.
I also offer concessionary rates for students and those on low income.
Inclusive
Regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, culture, beliefs, or physical ability, you are welcome and invited to try counselling.
Choose from in-person, video, telephone and text-based couselling, and be yourself without fear of judgement.
