Keely Tarrant

Keely Tarrant will demonstrate empathy and compassion when working with her clients as she wants to create a supportive space which will allow the client to feel as if they are truly held and understood. She will focus on the here and now and will support her clients with whatever they bring into the session, and if relevant and in the best interest of the client, she may help the client to explore past experiences that may be having an affect on them in the present.
