Counselling for Individuals and Couples, embracing the interconnectedness of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual….within oneself and within relationship.
Welcome! I am Tara Green.
In my work I support people through the emotional and psychological challenges that life presents. I see these challenges as opportunities for personal growth and for soul growth.
People grow through the process of examining their life, healing their fears, their pain and losses. As people begin to heal, they listen within and choose to live a more authentic life that honors themselves and others.
When people grow they develop compassion, beginning with a deep sense of self-compassion. It is through this sense of self-compassion that we know how to relate with loving-kindness, to ourselves and to one another.
This journey of healing and developing self-compassion does not occur in isolation. It is within the container of caring connection with other people that we are enabled to meet our inner world.
I offer my support, understanding and knowledge to you on this journey. By using effective and easily understood methods drawn from both eastern and western psychology, I can help you move through the passages of your life journey effectively and gracefully.
In Buddhist philosophy the Green Tara symbolizes compassionate, enlightened wisdom and activity. She is said to clear away fears, over-power negative emotions and enable all beings to reach enlightenment. She teaches us to connect with our heart, to listen to the inner voice of our spiritual self.
One of the greatest lessons from these teachings is to cultivate a compassionate heart, to not only be aware and sensitive to people’s needs, but also to have the desire to set them free from suffering – beginning with oneself.
Although I cannot claim such worthy activity as my namesake, I am inspired by the image of such a compassionate being.
