Welcome
My name is Tara King
I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist based in Galway, Ireland. I provide compassionate and personalised therapy both in-person and online, blending insights from humanistic, psychodynamic, existential, and cognitive behavioural therapies (CBT) to tailor a treatment plan that suits your unique needs and life circumstances.
I support individuals facing a range of issues, including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and life transitions. I hold particular expertise in helping clients navigate trauma and complex family and relationship dynamics, and offer evidence-based approaches such as CBT to facilitate effective emotional healing and change.
Inspired by the Ailm symbol, my practice creates a safe and confidential space where you can explore your emotions, experiences, and challenges with empathy and respect. I walk alongside my clients as we navigate life’s challenges and their journey of healing and growth, always in alliance with their personal therapeutic goals.
Whether you prefer the convenience of online therapy or the connection of face-to-face meetings, I am committed to facilitating your healing and personal growth in a flexible and accessible way.

Our Psychotherapy Services

Individual Counselling
Our individual counselling sessions offer tailored therapeutic support designed to address your specific needs and concerns. Through a collaborative and confidential process, we work to explore your thoughts and emotions with empathy and professionalism. The goal is to help you achieve greater mental clarity and develop effective coping strategies. Each session is structured to promote emotional well-being and facilitate meaningful personal growth. We are committed to supporting you in building resilience and enhancing your overall quality of life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps you understand and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Together, we’ll create personalised strategies to manage challenges like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is goal-focused and equips you with lasting skills for real-life situations. Our sessions provide a supportive, reassuring space for your growth and healing.
