About Kay
Kay Tarry, NCPS, offers practical support for people struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and stress. She listens, asks gentle questions and helps clients set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on making life a little easier day to day rather than quick fixes.
Kay has spent ten years helping people who feel stuck after trauma, neglect or bullying. She also supports those coping with low self-esteem, relationship problems, career strain and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her work includes people dealing with long-term illness, caregiver stress and body image concerns. Her approach is flexible and person-centred. She uses a blend of methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed thinking and emotion-focused skills.
Sessions are shaped to each person's needs instead of following a fixed model. In a typical session Kay listens for patterns that keep someone stuck. She offers practical tools for managing difficult thoughts and strong emotions.
She also helps people build routines and boundaries that support daily coping. Clients can expect direct but warm conversation, gentle challenges when helpful, and collaborative goal-setting. Kay aims to help people put difficult past experiences behind them and find ways to feel more able and hopeful in the present.

Online support
Finding the right way to work is part of therapy. Kay treats the choice of approach as a collaboration. She will discuss options, try methods together and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and manageable for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing, want brief daily support or need more flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or health limitations while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional skill building.
