Talya West is a qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor. She has a Master’s degree in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and works in private practice at The Awareness Centre in Tooting.
Talya offers a safe, warm space for you to reflect and navigate a way through your difficulties in a non judgemental environment. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past experiences and early relationships can shape how we feel, behave and relate to others in the present. This type of therapy helps to make sense of where those unexpected feelings of sadness, anger and anxiety come from, helping you to become more aware of all the different parts of yourself, creating a more fulfilling future. Talya works in an empathetic and compassionate way, staying alongside you during the difficult process of opening up to someone.
Talya works in-depth, addressing unconscious feelings as well as unhealthy coping strategies developed in early childhood. This will help you to have a better understanding of patterns in current and past relationships, with both ourselves and others. This is an exploratory space, you choose what to talk about and together there is an exploration of where certain feelings or behaviours might be coming from. Talya has extensive experience working with difficulties around trauma, abuse, grief, anxiety, self- worth, depression and many other mental health issues. Talya offers short and long term therapy.
Alongside her private practice, Talya also works at a community counselling charity where she sees clients from all backgrounds.
