Tara J Clarke – Masters Qualified Counsellor | Cairns Northern Beaches & Online Counselling
Welcome. I am Tara J Clarke, a Masters-qualified Counsellor offering compassionate, personalised counselling support in the Cairns Northern Beaches area and online. I completed my counselling training through the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors (AIPC) and have worked in private practice since 2011, supporting people through life transitions, emotional challenges, personal growth and healing.
My approach is integrative, holistic, mindfulness-based and strengths-focused, recognising that every person’s journey is unique. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences while discovering your own strengths, inner resources and pathways forward.
I draw from evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, somatic-informed approaches and trauma-informed counselling. I also have experience supporting clients with grief and loss, anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, life changes, confidence, self-esteem and personal development.
My style is empathic, caring and collaborative. Rather than focusing only on problems, I help you identify your strengths, develop practical strategies and reconnect with the parts of yourself that support positive change. Together, we can work towards greater self-awareness, resilience, balance and becoming the best version of yourself.
In addition to counselling, I am also a qualified hypnotherapist, offering an integrated approach that may support clients seeking deeper personal transformation, mindset change and emotional wellbeing.
If you are considering counselling and would like to see whether my approach feels like the right fit for you, you are welcome to contact me for a complimentary 15-minute chat. I also offer a free, no-obligation 30-minute initial induction session to discuss your needs, answer any questions and explore how I may be able to support you.
I look forward to helping you on your journey towards greater clarity, confidence, healing and wellbeing.
