About Tara Stapleton, Counsellor and Hypnotherapist

My purpose:

My purpose is rooted in a deep commitment to assist those in distress, guiding them as they navigate life’s complexities. With a caring approach, I strive to create a sanctuary where individuals feel safe to uncover and address their deepest concerns, fostering a path to healing and positive change.

My mission:

Dedicated to supporting and empowering individuals facing life’s challenges, I leverage a wealth of therapeutic techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs. My mission is to guide my clients towards discovering their inner strength and resilience, helping them achieve transformative and sustained personal growth.

My story:

As a seasoned professional with a rich tapestry of personal and professional experiences, I bring a unique blend of empathy, expertise, and dedication to my practice. My journey in the healing professions began as a dermal clinician and scar expert, where I worked closely with individuals recovering from physical traumas. It was through this work that I recognised the profound psychological impact scars had on self-perception and recovery. Despite visible improvements, many clients remained haunted by their past traumas, unable to see beyond the scars. 

This realisation sparked a pivotal career shift to counselling and hypnotherapy, driven by a desire to address the emotional and psychological facets of healing. My own experiences as a survivor of narcissistic abuse have deeply influenced my approach, giving me unique insights into the complex dynamics of such relationships and the profound resilience required to overcome them. This personal history not only enriches my empathy but also strengthens my resolve to assist others in similar situations.

My background as a business owner, a scar expert collaborating with plastic surgeons, and personal triumphs over cancer and kidney disease further imbue my practice with a profound understanding of resilience in the face of adversity.

Today, I specialise in a broad spectrum of emotional and psychological issues, including relationship dynamics, recovery from narcissistic abuse, workplace bullying, depression, anxiety, and more. My approach is holistic and personalised, combining hypnotherapy, ego state therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, guided imagery, and relaxation techniques to craft effective treatment plans that foster emotional wellbeing and self-development.

My vision:

My commitment is to not only treat the symptoms but to address the root causes of distress. Each client's journey is a personal story of recovery and self-discovery, and I am dedicated to being a trusted companion on this journey. My goal is to help my clients rebuild a sense of self-worth and empowerment, enabling them to love themselves and live their lives to the fullest.
