Tara Stapleton

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, parts therapy, past life regression, cognitive behavioural therapy, guided imagery, and relaxation techniques to craft effective treatment plans that foster emotional wellbeing and self-development.
