Holistic Counselling in Cairns with Tara J Clarke

​

Welcome to holistic counselling in Cairns with Tara J Clarke. Hello, my name is Tara and I am a caring and empathic counsellor who can help you heal your mind, thoughts, emotions and spirit. I am also a spiritual guide, hypnotherapist, and have a Diploma in Holistic Counselling with Natural Energies College, Australia and I have almost completed my Masters in Counselling at the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors. I use a strengths based, person-centred approach and skills in counselling and holistic healing to help you find the root of your problems and guide you on your healing journey.

​

What is Holistic Counselling?

​

Holistic counselling with Tara J Clarke is located in Palm Cove, Cairns Northern Beaches area. Holistic Counselling looks at your whole life — your feelings, your thoughts, your spirit, and how your life experiences affect you. Tara listens carefully to you without judging. She helps you find your own inner strength to solve your problems. You will always be booked in with me, Tara J Clarke and never an alternate therapist, unless I am referring your onto another counsellor or therapist. 

​

In your first session, which lasts 2 hours, we will talk about your problem, fill in a consent form, and start a healing therapy. The first 30 minutes are free and used to explain how the program works and to complete the consent form in full if there are any parts that are not complete. It is advised to fill in the form completely, before the session, and I will go through the form with you to make sure that you understand everything, especially your privacy and confidentiality agreement.

 

When you book this session (you can choose to have this session online via Zoom chat or in person in Tara's quiet space healing room in Palm Cove), you pay for 90 minutes, however receive a 2 hour session. Future sessions are 90 minutes in duration.

​

The Holistic Counselling Program

​

Holistic counselling in Cairns is not a one-time session but a program. Most clients need between 5 to 6 sessions, but some may take longer if the issue is serious, like chronic anxiety or depression.

 

Each session after the first 2 hour session is 90 minutes long.

​

A discount is available at checkout for private health card holders such as pensioners and seniors with a pension card. You can select this option at checkout. If you select this option, proof of identification must be shown including your health care card or private health card. If this proof cannot be shown, the balance must be paid on the day of your booking.

What Issues Does Tara Help With?

​

Tara mostly works with:

​

• Holistic grief counselling

• Holistic depression counselling

• Holistic Anxiety counselling

• Holistic Trauma counselling

• Weight Loss counselling

• Stop a negative habit such as smoking counselling

Tara uses a strengths based approach to counselling and may use hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, guided journey and meditation, mindfulness and spiritual healing as part of holistic counselling. The goal is to raise your energy so that feelings like sadness, loneliness, pain, and grief are no longer the main focus. Instead, you will learn to understand your past, understand your strengths, feel stronger, more confident, peaceful, loving, grateful, and joyful.

​

What Happens in Holistic Counselling Sessions?

​

In holistic counselling, Tara mainly listens to you and helps you talk about your life without fear of judgment. She uses her skills to help you find your strengths and helps you build ways to handle your challenges better.

​

Besides listening, Tara uses education, meditation, relaxation, and stress management techniques to support your healing. She works deeply to understand the real cause of your problems and helps you reconnect with your inner power and helps you on your path to make new positive choices, moving forward.

​

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

​

Everyone’s healing path is different. Some people feel better after just two sessions. Others with deeper pain, anxiety, depression, or grief may need up to 6 or more sessions. Over the years we have accumulated much programming and every session works on releasing and letting go of the old programming, negative thinking patterns and emotions that hold you back from being the best version of yourself. 

​

Life keeps changing, and unexpected challenges appear. Holistic counselling in Cairns with Tara helps you keep growing and understanding your past, so you can live with more trust, love, light, truth, and wisdom.

​

Before Your First Session

​

You can book your first holistic counselling in Cairns, online on the buttons on this page. There are two options, the first option is to have your session in person in Cairns, at Tara's quiet healing room in Palm Cove. The second option is to choose to have your session online. Sessions are via Teams, where you will be emailed a link to connect with Tara, on the day of your session.  Once booked, whether you are booking to have your session in Cairns with Tara, you will be emailed an online form to fill out. This form is private and and confidential and asks personal questions and helps Tara understand your story before you meet in your first session. 

​

To ensure we make the most of our time together, I kindly ask that you complete the intake form before your first session. This form will be emailed to you once you make your booking online. This intake form is entirely private and confidential, and it is important that you provide honest and accurate information to help me understand your unique story and needs. Rest assured that all information you share is protected under strict confidentiality guidelines, in line with professional counselling standards.

​

When we meet for your initial session, I will personally go through the form with you to clarify any details and explain how your privacy and confidentiality are maintained throughout the counselling process. If at any time you have questions or concerns about the form, the counselling process, or anything else, please feel free to raise them during our first session. Your comfort and understanding are important to me as we begin this journey together.

​

Filling it out before the session:

 

• Saves time, so your session can focus on therapy, not paperwork. However Tara will go over the form with you when you arrive, to make sure that a thorough understanding of your story is ascertained. 

• Helps me understand your background and issue before seeing you face to face or online video chat, for a better understanding when you arrive. 

​

If you are coming in person for a holistic counselling session or program in Palm Cove, you will complete the form also online before coming in. 

​

If you have questions about the form or the program, are more than welcome to email Tara or text her to arrange a callback.
