ABOUT TALLY
Talitha (MBACP) is a member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy and has experience working with addiction, eating disorders and bereavement. Talitha trained integratively so she has experience working with different theories and types of therapy. Talitha understands the importance of challenging negative core beliefs that aren’t serving us and works with clients to help them make sense of their pain and angst.
Psychotherapy refers to a range of treatments that can help with mental health problems and emotional challenges.
It aims to enable clients, to understand their feelings – what makes them feel positive, anxious, or depressed. Therapy can equip them to cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way and understand how they react to life’s events.
Who can benefit?
Psychotherapy is a “talking treatment” and can be used to help a range of people. The following feelings are signs that an individual might benefit from this type of therapy:
- Overwhelming feelings of sadness or helplessness.
- An inability to cope with everyday problems.
- Difficulty concentrating on work or studies most of the time.
- Drinking too much, taking drugs, or being aggressive to an extent that is harming themselves or others.
- A sense that problems never improve, despite receiving help from friends and family.
- Feeling constantly on edge or worrying unnecessarily.
Her areas of expertise include – Addiction, Bereavement, Anxiety, Depression and Eating Disorders.
Talitha works with issues that may respond best to short term and goal orientated therapy or long term and explorative therapy. She also offers online Skype sessions.
Addiction starts with the view that something out there can change the way you feel. Addiction is most commonly associated with gambling, drugs, alcohol and nicotine but there are also many behavioural addictions that can be just as harmful including: work, sex, internet and shopping.
Bereavement counselling involves supporting individuals who have experienced the loss of a loved one. This type of therapy helps them work through their grief as well as perhaps learn coping mechanisms to help them continue to live their life without their loved on.
Symptoms of anxiety and depression commonly overlap. This effects self-esteem and self-worth. There is no ‘one size fits all’ treatment for this as everyone is different but starting with being given an awareness around their angst can be reassuring for the client and help them to understand how they might change their reaction to the presenting issue.
Eating disorders are having an unhealthy relationship towards food. It can take over the life of the person suffering as well as their family and friends. Eating disorders can range from eating too much/ too little to being obsessed with body weight or shape. Sufferers of eating disorders can feel confused and alone and their eating disorder can be cunning and manipulative, denying the fact they are unwell.
