About Tal
Tal Raven is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what matters to the person and practical steps they can try between meetings. Tal aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
How Tal works
Her background blends several well-known approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based work. That mix helps when someone needs to change unhelpful thinking patterns or repair connection issues. Tal draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy where these fit the person's goals.
She offers different formats so people can choose what suits them best. Sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients may be supported in English.
Tal works in a direct, empathetic manner and invites people to set realistic goals together. She describes progress as small, steady changes rather than sudden fixes. If someone wants practical tools and time to explore personal history, she tailors her approach accordingly.

Online support options
How Tal’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and helps people build safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, and is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tal works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss options, try techniques in sessions, and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation from wherever someone is based. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging suits people who prefer typing thoughts, want brief ongoing support, or need to work around shifts and family commitments.
