Taneja Thompson

My current availability is Thursdays and Fridays 9:00-17:00. 

I’m Taneja, a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist. What this means is that I believe that we are all working towards becoming the best versions of ourselves. Sometimes, we lose our way, become overwhelmed by everyday stresses and long for a version of ourselves we want to be. Sometimes, we even get to a point in life where we have accomplished what we intended and feel like something is missing. This is where I find therapy can be helpful in supporting you find your way. 

I believe that by fostering a safe, open-minded and empathic space, you can come and explore what may be troubling you. By exploring your thoughts, feelings, experiences and behaviours in therapy, my belief is people can find what their next steps are and change positively.

 I have worked in both educational and healthcare settings, supporting children, young people and adults with a range of mental health issues. I also recognise that although my skills, life experiences and continued professional development have provided me with an appropriate level of counselling expertise, I believe that the client is always the expert in the therapeutic space and their experiences. Working therapeutically is about working collaboratively with the client towards their desired goals and self-choices.

 I am based online, offering sessions via telephone and Microsoft Teams. I do offer concessionary rates but please bear in mind these slots are limited.

Choosing the right therapist for you is an important decision and one that can feel nerve-racking. I offer a free 20-minute consultation, which may help in answering any questions you have about therapy, how we will work together and whether this therapeutic relationship is right for both of us.
