About Tara
Tara Unadkat is an AASW clinical social worker and counsellor in Australia with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing family stress, grief, eating and parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. Her background spans hospitals, community health and mental health services, plus a private practice that also offers social welfare support.
Tara focuses on practical skills people can use day to day. She helps clients build confidence and resilience through clear, manageable strategies. Conversations cover emotions, behaviour and problem-solving rather than jargon or abstract theory.
Her approach draws on several established methods including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Tara uses these to address attachment issues, communication problems, blended family challenges and separation or divorce concerns.
She also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, cancer, adoption and foster care issues, body image and eating-related problems. Sessions often combine emotional work with behavioural steps to reduce immediate distress and improve coping skills.
Tara aims to be respectful and sensitive in her work. She adapts discussion and plans to each person’s situation so the steps feel practical and achievable. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tara uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help name and work with strong emotions and attachment patterns that affect relationships and family life. EFT focuses on recognising emotions and changing interaction patterns that keep people stuck.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into more manageable routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tara will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. This happens together, and plans are adjusted as work progresses.
