Muriel Tafts
Practical counselling for stress and life change
About Muriel
Muriel Tafts is a counsellor with a Foundation Degree in Integrated Counselling and four years of post-qualification experience. She uses a mix of person-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas to help people who feel stuck. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and career concerns.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings. Sessions encourage curiosity about how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together.
Background and approach
Muriel aims to agree clear goals within the first few meetings and to review progress regularly. Muriel is practical in her approach and will offer information about common psychological patterns. She may suggest small tasks to try between sessions so people can test new ways of coping.
This suits those who want both understanding and hands-on changes. She also pays attention to deeper patterns that can shape current problems, including attachment and abandonment issues. For those dealing with guilt, shame or difficulties with intimacy and sexuality, Muriel works to build self-compassion and clearer communication.
Muriel has experience supporting people with workplace strain, money worries and life-stage transitions such as midlife shifts. She is currently studying for an MSc in Workplace Health and Wellbeing to broaden her knowledge of work-related stress and wellbeing. Her style is steady and collaborative - she walks alongside people as they explore causes and try different solutions.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, chat or messaging.

Approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own point of view. It helps when someone needs a listening space to be seen, heard and accepted while they make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence mood and reactions. It is useful for practical problems like anxiety, stress and unhelpful habits. Psychodynamic Therapy explores past relationships and patterns that keep reappearing in current life, helping people understand deeper roots of their struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Muriel will discuss different methods and agree together which to try based on what matters most to the client. This collaborative process can mean using more than one approach as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need to fit support around work and daily tasks. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and access support from a range of registered or accredited professionals regardless of location.
