Hi, I’m Tara, a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist (DSFH) with lived experience of AuDHD, anxiety, PMDD, hypermobility and the challenges that come with it.
I support neurodivergent adults and children aged 9+ with anxiety, stress management, confidence building and more, helping you move forward, get unstuck from cycles of negative thinking and overcome self-doubt. Using a Solution Focused Hypnotherapy approach, I help you understand why you feel the way you do, while supporting you to take achievable steps toward the life you want one small step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you as you build self-trust and coping strategies.
As a woman diagnosed AuDHD later in life, I understand what it feels like to navigate decades of masking, burnout, anxiety and low confidence. Undiagnosed AuDHD and PMDD made motherhood, socialising and navigating the demands of corporate work life particularly challenging. Like many, it wasn’t until a significant burnout in my early 30s that I began to make sense of my inner world and experienced the clarity of “that makes sense” realisation following diagnosis. This lived experience fuels my commitment to offering a supportive, non-judgemental therapeutic space that focuses on what’s possible for you, rather than what feels impossible.
My approach is rooted in self-compassion, gentle reframing and noticing the sparks that bring you joy.
Outside of therapy, I’m grounded by time in local woodlands and nature reserves (especially near water), long walks, my flower garden in summer, reading, singing and dancing around the house; simple joys that support both my wellbeing and my work with clients.
P.s. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is particularly helpful if you don't want to focus on the past and instead are ready to move forward, focusing on the future you want whilst still honouring your neurodivergent needs.
