About Kay
Kay Tarry NCPS helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or traumatised find clearer ways forward. She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, stress, anger and depression. Kay also supports people facing career changes, chronic illness, caregiver strain and challenges linked to identity and sexuality.
Her style is calm and practical. She listens, asks questions and gently challenges unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on short-term goals and small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around what the person already knows about themselves. Kay has worked in the field for 10 years. During that time she has supported people recovering from neglect, bullying and other traumatic events.
She also helps with attachment difficulties, abandonment worries, and problems connected to commitment and communication. She blends several approaches rather than using a single method. This includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred ways of working.
That mix lets her choose practical tools that suit each person. Kay is registered with NCPS and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and are tailored to the individual’s needs and pace.

Online support
How Kay’s approaches work online
Their work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and change unhelpful emotional patterns, especially in close relationships. EFT focuses on identifying core feelings and building new ways of responding that feel safer and more connected.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help people live by their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts, choose meaningful actions and increase psychological flexibility.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and trust. It helps people recognise attachment patterns and practise new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and avoidance.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and then use parts of these methods to fit each person’s situation. Sessions adapt over time as needs and progress become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for shorter check-ins and messaging fits people who prefer written updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and mobility challenges, while keeping care consistent across sessions.
