Sessions are individually tailored to suit you the client as this is your journey , I provide a safe, consistent therapeutic relationship and encourage collaborative working.

I as your counsellor will stand alongside you being curious and helping you to find the tools you had all along by assisting in removing some of the obstacles that have helped to hide them.

As a psychotherapist working with children, young people and adults, I use my professional skills and experience to provide a safe, judgement-free space for children, young people and adults to explore what might be underlying their difficulties. I support clients with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, isolation, identity, sexuality, low self-esteem, school difficulties, friendship issues, loss, grief, bullying, abuse, neglect, parental separation and other issues.

Are you struggling to cope with day to day life and finding it difficult to move forwards and find happiness? Perhaps you have recently had a relationship breakdown or lost a loved one and are finding the loss unbearable. Alternatively you might be experiencing signs of Anxiety, Depression or Stress which are preventing you from enjoying life and finding purpose. These are all difficult experiences to face on your own and you deserve to find happiness and a better quality of life.

I’m a caring and experienced counsellor, who can support you wholeheartedly in helping you to move forwards. I work from a warm and comfortable room in Totnes.

I work with adults and young people and offer both short and long term therapy. Sometimes life’s challenges may feel overwhelming, emotionally exhausting or relentless and we may seek professional support to help us find our way through. Anxiety, depression, feeling lost, lonely, confused or traumatised are just some of the many issues people bring. Whilst our personal stories and the reasons for our distress are ultimately as unique as we are, I have found that clients of all ages share a common goal; the desire to gain new perspectives and deeper understandings of themselves and to explore the possibilities and means of change.

Hi.. I am an experienced Counsellor specialising in Relationship issues for Individuals and Couples. I'm caring and don't mind swearing, which is handy, because people often do... I work from a lovely private room in Totnes, or Online drawing on different techniques and experience into a holistic, caring approach. Talking helps to gain understanding, perpective and insight into issues, and for clients who wish to work on the more sub-conscious patterns and historical issues which are usually at the root of our stories, I provide a range of effective techniques that help to move things forward effectively

My name is Talya. At the heart of how I work is the belief that everyone's choices and experiences are understandable if we give the time and attention to understanding them. When we are supported it becomes more possible to gain insight into the ways we feel limited, to acknowledge and release the feelings that can keep us stuck and to find new ways of being. Therapy can provide a chance to heal from the hurts that accumulate within us and help us find the resources to meet life fully. Through our time together, you may find that new ways of relating to yourself and the world around you become possible.

I have a deep interest in working with a wide range of psychological issues including: • Freedom from limiting thoughts and behaviours • Relationship issues • Stress management • Experiences of trauma • Grief and loss • Depression and anxiety • Life transitions • Jealousy • Low self-esteem • Shame • Personal growth and development

I am a fully insured and qualified Counsellor registered with the BACP, working with ages 13+ through to seniors, coming from different backgrounds and life experiences both face to face or online. Sessions are ran entirely at your individual pace and specific to your needs and ways of working. They are also open ended, meaning you are not bound to a set amount of sessions. I work with a whole multitude of areas, not just what is set out on this profile, and you’re always welcome to enquire if you are unsure.

I see therapy as a close and creative collaboration, where together we can be with what concerns you and find out how are you relating with it. I can support you to understand how you respond to life and how you hold off from it. Let’s find out what happens in you, that limits the possibilities. We do this together, by listening closely, whilst I support you to pay attention to your present experience, because this gets us closer to understanding and is empowering. I trust this is more fruitful than working hard to try to figure things out. It gets below the rounds of thinking you have probably got caught in if you're struggling.

I do my best to meet with each person as the individual you are, and work together with you to find what helps you to explore, understand and transform whatever issues brought you to Counselling. I am an Integrative Counsellor, meaning I have studied a number of different approaches and tools. Listening to you and exploring your experience together, I seek to be creative, flexible and playful in finding what is helpful to you.

Hi, my name is Mark Shanagher and I am a senior trainee in private practice on Dartington Estate, Totnes.
 My approach is collaborative and relational. I am interested in working with you to explore how it is that you ‘do’ you, in what your experience is and in how you might begin to express and experience yourself differently. I have seen how transformation can take place in a setting of compassion, acceptance and non-judgemental listening, and value these qualities in our working relationship.

Hello, thank you for looking at my page and for the courage to seek support for what is troubling you. Talking to a counsellor can help us relieve a burden, anxiety and worry. It can help us to make sense of things and join the dots so that we can discover, see and understand what we could not before and know ourselves better. When we have made mistakes in life or there has been pain and suffering for different reasons, counselling can help to see what we need to do, can help us feel what we’ve been holding on to and can bring clarity and relief.

If you’re struggling or finding things difficult, you’re not alone. Maybe you feel stuck, confused or overwhelmed. Maybe you feel lost, alone or disconnected from life, yourself or the people around you. Maybe you lack purpose or meaning in your life. Maybe you don't really know what the problem is but would like some support. I am here to listen, support and encourage you as you explore the issues you face, help you understand yourself better and see things more clearly. I can help you work through difficult thoughts and feelings, and find ways to manage them so they have less impact on your life and wellbeing.
