MY APPROACH

TRANSFORMATIONAL LIFE COACHING

Pink Butterfly

You might be in a transitional stage in your life, have empty nest syndrome, or be working towards a career goal. You could be highly creative but are scared of exploring it or be working on a confidence issue that's holding you back.

​

Creative Coaching doesn't just help you achieve your goals. It connects you with your core values and beliefs, shines a light on what truly matters to you, and ensures that your aims are aligned with your deepest needs.


I support, guide and challenge you to take action to overcome your obstacles, achieve your aims, and in the process become the best version of yourself. 

BLENDED COACHING AND CREATIVE ARTS THERAPY

Colorful Graffiti

Creative Arts Therapy uses metaphor, art, drama and words to explore and express how you're feeling, with powerful results.

​

You don't have to be able to draw, paint or act to use it, and our sessions don't have to have any of those things. 

​

We might explore a film that moves you deeply and how that might resonate with your current life experience. 

​

We might explore the various terrains in your inner landscape, and the different roles you embody during your life.


We might use a simple visual chart to understand your day to day emotions and use it to pinpoint the moments where you most need support.

​

We might re-imagine the moments you find most challenging, so when they crop up in your life, you can choose a different path.


The distance can allow you to go deeper into your feelings and facilitate shifts and changes in a more lasting way than talking therapy alone.

FEEDBACK

What My Clients Are Saying

Home: Testimonials

You lifted the weight off my shoulders and gave me a fresh start each week and a new perspective on life.

Thank you for listening and understanding my concerns... the sessions made me feel safe and happy knowing I can let go of everything that's inside of me.

Thank you so much for helping me. I will never forget the techniques you have taught me. They really help.

I've become happier and more aware of my feelings. The sessions made me think a lot about things I'm normally unaware of. I'm calmer now and more talkative around people I don't know.

Thank YOU for helping me find a sense of Joy and creativity in my life again! I’m grateful and thankful you are in this field of work to help others in their path.

Before working with Tara, it was unbearable for me to be with my emotions. Tara’s gentle and warm presence, along with her effective tools, guided me safely to not only see my emotions more clearly for what they are, without judgement, but to also uncover what the needs are behind them. Now, I feel  more comfortable with any emotion that arises, I feel more secure to share them with my husband, and I have a better understanding of what my needs are and what I can do to fulfil them. I also live more of my days with gratitude rather than unworthiness. Thank you Tara

I couldn’t have got this far, this quickly without your expertise, insightful techniques and clever strategies to keep me focused and moving towards my ultimate goals.

My sessions with Tara were a really great help at a time of such uncertainty. We worked through my anxieties together to find strategies to help with several different worries that I had. Each week I seemed to chat about a different concern, and every week I came away feeling lighter and more positive. It was lovely to talk to Tara - she has a great calming and relaxed approach to coaching and I continue to use the strategies that we worked through together daily. Many thanks Tara.

I had sessions with Tara mostly regarding coaching on how to be consistent and planning on how to achieve my goals. She encouraged me to take small step towards achieving what I was looking for and maintain the activities on a daily basis. By the time we got to the last session every step was making sense and my ability to be consistent and plan things had greatly improved.
I am very thankful for all the effort you directed to me and the difference it's made to me and my family.
