Tara Blake

Are you facing adversity, painful emotions, difficult relationships, a diminished sense of self, or past traumas? Do you judge yourself harshly, and feel stuck or lost? I believe that we all have resilience and strength to cope with life's challenges of unpredictability and overwhelming experiences. With the right type of counselling it is possible to discover a sense of ownership and insight into yourself where profound embodied change can occur.

As a trauma-informed and relational counsellor, I will listen and go at your pace. I lead with the values of acceptance, collaboration, and empowerment so that you feel truly supported and safe. I work with clients on a variety of issues including grief and loss, depression, anxiety, OCD, divorce, aging, and personal development. I have specialized in working with PTSD and complex trauma related to abuse or partner violence.

I offer authentic empathy to clients living through difficult times. Together we can explore your overwhelming or confusing experiences and gain clarity about your unique path. Courage is required to start counselling or build an alliance with a new counsellor and I am honoured to be invited into that process.
