Counselling and psychotherapy are evidence-based talking therapies where I provide a safe, confidential space to explore your concerns. As an accredited psychotherapist, I help clients work through emotional difficulties using proven therapeutic approaches.

Person receiving counselling support - Dr. Lara Tarocco Psychotherapist Surrey

Counselling typically focuses on specific, current issues and may be short-term (6-12 sessions), offering practical strategies and emotional support for managing immediate concerns.

Psychotherapy involves a longer-term therapeutic relationship to explore deeper, long-standing emotional difficulties, trauma, and their root causes.

What Can I Help You With?

I specialise in supporting clients experiencing:

  • Trauma and PTSD therapy - processing traumatic experiences safely
  • SEND support - Special Educational Needs counselling for families
  • Parenting challenges - support for adoptive parents and birth parents
  • Stress and anxiety management - coping strategies and emotional regulation
  • Depression counselling - understanding and treating low mood
  • Loss and grief therapy - bereavement and complex grief support
  • Relationship counselling - couples therapy and mother-daughter relationships

Therapeutic Drawing and NeuroGraphica®

As a certified NeuroGraphica® Specialist, I offer therapeutic drawing as an alternative or complement to traditional talking therapy. This creative approach is particularly beneficial for:

  • Non-verbal clients - no spoken communication required
  • Trauma survivors - avoiding re-traumatisation through verbal processing
  • Neurodivergent individuals - including autism, ADHD, dyslexia
  • Speech difficulties - due to brain injury, stroke, or neurological conditions
  • Children and young people - expressing emotions through art

Therapeutic drawing provides a safe, creative outlet for emotional expression when words feel inadequate or overwhelming.
