About Tarulata

Tarulata Mathur uses practical, relationship-focused methods to help people navigate painful moments. She brings 25 years of experience and a patient, steady approach to conversations about loss, conflict and change.

Background and approach

Tarulata has worked across public sector, non-profit and personal settings in Australia and overseas. She holds PACFA accreditation and draws on a mix of therapy styles to match each person’s needs.

Sessions are offered in English, Gujarati and Hindi. She specialises in relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety and depression.

Tarulata also helps with ageing and geriatric concerns, attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress and communication breakdowns. Her way of working treats the client as the expert in their story.

Sessions aim to identify strengths, clarify values and practise small changes that add up. She prefers video or phone contact because these formats make it easier to notice emotions and build connection.

Weekend appointments are currently the option she offers due to other commitments. Therapy uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and scheduling is done through the platform's calendar tools.

Tarulata offers calm, straightforward support for people ready to take a first step. She focuses on clear goals, practical tools and steady encouragement while clients work toward a more fulfilling life.

How relationship-focused approaches work online

Gottman-informed techniques focus on improving communication and interaction patterns that often cause relationship pain. These methods help people learn practical skills for reducing conflict and rebuilding connection.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and finding direction during life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current behaviour and emotions. It can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and find new ways to connect.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s circumstances and adjust as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when seeing facial cues matters, phone calls suit lower bandwidth or when being off-camera helps, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into weekends, work breaks or caring responsibilities, and give flexibility for people juggling other commitments.
