Tara Blake
REGISTERED CLINICAL COUNSELLOR | RCC
Your thoughts are not evidence.
They are not who you are.
I am Tara Blake, a Registered Clinical Counsellor at Eterna Counselling and Wellness in Abbotsford, BC. My work sits at a specific intersection: people who are living with OCD and have been misunderstood, or misdiagnosed, or simply never had it named correctly, and women who are navigating the particular kind of unravelling that happens when life asks you to change faster than you have had time to grieve. As a trauma-informed and relational counsellor, I will listen and go at your pace. I lead with the values of acceptance, collaboration, & empowerment so that you feel truly supported and safe. I work with clients on a variety of issues including grief and loss, depression, anxiety, OCD, divorce, aging, and personal development. I have specialized in working with PTSD and complex trauma related to abuse or partner violence.
My Approach?
The work starts with understanding, not fixing.
I begin by exploring what is actually happening—whether that’s the obsessive-compulsive cycle, grief, trauma, or life transitions—before moving toward change. My approach is relational and trauma-informed, meaning I pay attention not just to what you say, but how it shows up in your body and in the room. I work somatically, recognizing that the body holds important information through tension, breath, and fatigue. I move at your pace, without rigid timelines, while still offering enough clinical direction to ensure we are meaningfully progressing—not just circling the same ground.
