About Tara Dakin

I am a Registered Developmental Psychologist (BPS) a teacher (QTS), a Pilates Mat Instructor, an Auricular Acupuncturist, a massage therapist NVQ level 4 and a Reiki Healer. I have worked for over twenty-six years’ at the intersection of psychology, education, wellness, and human development.

My work is grounded in a simple conviction: when people understand themselves well, health outcomes improve. Yet many individuals, families, and professionals move through life without access to even basic psychological literacy, particularly in relation to the nervous system, emotional regulation, and how early patterns shape adult responses.

I created Psychēra to address this gap. Psychēra is a psychologically rigorous, embodied framework for self-understanding that brings together nervous system science, developmental psychology, reflective enquiry, and lived experience. It is designed to support clarity, agency, and sustainable change without pathologising or over-medicalising the human experience.

Alongside 1:1 and online work with individuals and families, I am developing Psychēra as a wider framework of awareness and understanding. This includes a book for adults, practitioner education across movement and wellbeing sectors, and longer-term ambitions to embed psychological self-knowledge within the education sector.

My approach is educational rather than therapeutic, preventative rather than reactive, and grounded in ethical, evidence-informed practice. I work with people who value understanding, discernment, and responsibility for their own development.
