About Kay Tarry
Kay Tarry is a United Kingdom-based therapist with ten years of professional experience supporting people through trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life changes. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification that indicates training in counselling and psychological support and a commitment to ongoing professional development.
Kay works with individuals who have experienced past abuse, neglect or bullying, as well as those managing low self-esteem, confusion after relationship breakdowns, career stress, chronic health challenges, and other complex life difficulties. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, body image, kink and alternative sex culture, blended family issues, and caregiving stress.
Her approach blends therapies rather than relying on a single model. Using a pluralistic framework, she listens, asks thoughtful questions, offers gentle challenges, and helps clients set achievable goals so they can move beyond feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Sessions are tailored to each person, drawing on the client’s own strengths, knowledge and life experience while integrating techniques from acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused methods, client-centered care, cognitive strategies and skills-based interventions.
Ultimately Kay focuses on practical change and emotional wellbeing, helping people process the past, build coping strategies and make meaningful progress toward the life they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to move toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. This approach can support work on relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and attachment-related distress by exploring relational patterns and building new ways of relating.
Kay approaches online work collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences and strengths, then adapts methods to suit the individual so therapy feels relevant and practical.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family and health demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy life, and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations when appropriate.
