The Mind Psychologist
Sacred Somatic Wellness
You and your time are scared. With only 4000 weeks if we live a lifetime of 75 years. Life is sacred.
You and your time are scared. With only 4000 weeks if we live a lifetime of 75 years. Life is sacred.
Life moves through storms and serenity.
Sometimes we see the weather coming; sometimes we’re already standing in it.
Each season brings its own lessons , yet when life feels heavy, unclear, or out of balance, understanding your mind and listening to your body can change everything.
Sometimes we lose trust in our intuition , not because it’s gone, but because our nervous system is overwhelmed or triggered. When we live in a constant state of stress or self-doubt, our body and mind move out of sync. We start to carry low-frequency emotions and invisible loads that drain our energy and clarity.
You may have a life story shaped by early attachment patterns or schemas that no longer serve you in adulthood. You may feel anxious, emotional, or disconnected, yet unable to trace these feelings to hormones, a life event, or a clear cause. You may even notice aches, tension, or stiffness, the body’s way of communicating what the mind has been holding.
Mind wellness is not a luxury or a crisis tool. It’s the foundation for every decision, relationship, and moment of meaning in your life. When we bring psychological understanding together with somatic awareness, we begin to rebuild trust in ourselves , in our bodies, our intuition, and our inner peace.
Whether through focused 1:1 somatic psychology sessions, reflective enquiry, or professional training, I offer an evidence-based, embodied approach to help you understand yourself deeply and lead your wellbeing from within.
Real transformation doesn’t come from quick fixes. It happens when knowledge, embodiment, and awareness meet , when you understand why you think, feel, and react the way you do, and begin to move through life with clarity, balance, and self-trust.

Seeing a Psychologist offers more than support , it provides understanding. A Psychologist is trained to explore how your mind works, drawing on decades of research in human development, behaviour and neuroscience.
Unlike general counselling, psychology work helps you understand why you think, feel and act as you do, and how to create lasting change through evidence based strategies.
Why work with a Sacred Somatic Psychologist?
Working with me offers more than traditional therapy , it is a mind-body approach that integrates psychological insight with somatic awareness to support lasting change. I combine evidence-based psychology, neuroscience, and developmental expertise with movement and massage to help you understand how your mind and body interact, releasing tension and patterns that may be holding you back.
Why Work with a Psychologist?
About : Tara Dakin , The Mind Psychologist.
Why I Started The Mind Psychologist
I started The Mind Psychologist because I saw a missing link , people often don’t understand how their psychology connects with their physical wellness. After more than twenty-five years working in psychology and education, I realised that most people were never taught the basic psychology of the mind: how thoughts form, how attachment and childhood experiences shape our nervous system, or how to manage emotional energy.
We teach physical fitness, diet, and lifestyle from an early age , but not how the mind works. I created The Mind Psychologist to bridge that gap, making the science of wellness accessible, practical, and affordable. The result is a suite of offerings including the Somatic Mind Psychologist experience, the MiM Classes (Mind in Motion), and online education designed to share this knowledge widely.
My Mission
My mission is to help people of all ages understand their minds and nervous systems, regulate their emotions, and reconnect with themselves , not through labels, but through knowledge, reflection, and conscious awareness of what it means to be human.
The Mind Psychologist Model
To teach effectively, I needed a model that united psychology, physiology, and lived experience.
The strength of The Mind Psychologist Model lies in its multi-element approach , grounded in research and knowledge while remaining deeply personal and adaptable.
As human beings, we have all lived stories of attachment, connection, and loss. Our minds develop in response to biological, social, psychological, and environmental experiences. Each of us carries a nervous system that shapes how we perceive, respond, and relate , yet few of us have been taught how it truly works.
By combining elements of psychology, neuroscience, somatic awareness, energy, and culture, the model becomes something meaningful and human. Its power lies in how you apply it , how you interpret, embody, and make meaning from your own experience.
Looking Forward
It would be wonderful if we taught the psychology of the mind in schools , helping young people understand how their minds and emotions work from the start. I hope to one day influence the Department for Education to include Mind Education in the national curriculum.
In the meantime, my work through The Mind Psychologist exists to make these insights available now , to help you understand yourself and others with greater kindness, compassion, and humanity.
I hope to support you on that journey.
