Tahira helped me through an incredibly dark time in my life. She is a wonderful therapist who shows compassion, understanding, patience and skill. My sessions were held on my terms and she effortlessly let the conversation flow organically, without trying to dictate anything. She was always a kind, listening ear, and I left each session feeling more positive and grounded. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

More about Tahira
- 15 years' experience

- BACP
I am a BACP accredited counsellor with over 15 years’ post-qualification experience delivering evidence-based psychological therapies across private practice, digital platforms, and specialist domestic abuse organisations.
I have extensive experience supporting adults and young adults presenting with anxiety, depression, trauma, Dv, child abuse and bereavement,. I am also skilled in assessment, formulation, safeguarding, risk management, and outcome-focused therapeutic interventions.
As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I draw on several different techniques and modalities, (Person centred, CBT , Psychodynamic)
I recognise my clients as an individuals, and use different elements of therapeutic thinking to explore your goals and values.
The therapeutic relationship remains at the core of my practice, and I work in collaboration with my clients, to gain insight and understanding of life experiences. Doing this in a safe space allows us to process traumatic experiences, gain new perspectives and personal insights that can bring about healing that can lead to change.
Another goal is to promote self awareness and support personal growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
