Talia’s Therapy Style
Talia understands that irrespective of your age or life stage seeking help is never easy. She is committed to making clients feel comfortable and at ease and works on building the relationship from the first point of contact.
Talia is extremely passionate and dedicated to each and every client she sees. The work with Talia focuses on identifying and working through the challenges currently being faced, often by teaching new skills and methods which helps clients develop a greater awareness and capacity to manage their emotions, thoughts and behaviours more effectively. The process also helps clients uncover and access their unique strengths and capabilities, allowing them over time to resolve difficulties and achieve their potential.
Talia’s style is warm, genuine and light-hearted and the approach to treatment is holistic, pragmatic and client-centred.
Clients can expect sessions to be practical, collaborative, and adjusted to their individual pace and needs.
