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 therapist with a history of working with a variety of issues including: depression, anxiety, relationship problems (partners and families), ADHD, low self-esteem, anger, bereavement, trauma, and much more. 

 

Although younger than some therapists, my combination of personal life experience and rigorous modern training allows me to help you from a unique position. Rather than working from a place of out-of-date theory, I hope to work from a place of empowerment, putting you at ease and working with you, whilst tailoring modern techniques to help you better understand yourself and move forward.

​

As an integrative counsellor, I believe that you are entirely unique, and so your counselling should be tailored to you. 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.

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 recommended for use today.

Experienced

I have over eight years of experience working with people in a therapeutic capacity, and four years in counselling, including for Mind and local councils.

​

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.
