Hi, I'm Talia -

I'm a BACP-registered, person-centred counsellor, working from a quiet space in Walmer, Kent. I came to this profession from a background in teaching, after realising a passion for the pastoral side of the role. Currently, as well as running my private practice, I volunteer for a community counselling service. In my free time, I like to spend my time outside and in nature, as well as at home listening to podcasts accompanied by my cat, Bertie.

I thoroughly enjoy the work that I do with clients, and my main goal is to create a consistent space where clients can show up exactly as they are, and explore their authentic selves.

I hope to hear from you soon! - Talia

counsellor in Deal Kent Therapy in Deal, Kent.

Working Together: My Approach


Life can feel overwhelming, whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, body image issues, identity concerns, or confidence challenges. I'm here to help.

As a person-centred counsellor, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts without judgment. Together, we'll work toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and confidence. I know how powerful counselling can be, and I'm here to guide you through the process.

Ready to take the first step? Contact me today via email, text or phone call to start your journey toward healing and personal growth today.


How Can Counselling Help You?

Process your history and identify your patterns

My goal as a counsellor is to create a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to allow for you to explore and understand your past experiences. Through guided conversations, new perspectives can be found, and the impact of these events on your present thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be considered.

Improve your communication skills

Finding the words to express how you are feeling to others can help to improve and strengthen relationships. In turn this can help you to establish personal boundaries and feel more confident in communicating your wants and needs.

Reconnect with your sense of self

Counselling helps you reconnect with your true self by providing a space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Through self-reflection, you can gain clarity, rediscover your values, and strengthen your sense of identity. This deeper connection can lead to greater confidence, purpose, and more authentic relationships.

Why Rosebay?

I created Rosebay Counselling after being inspired by the resilience of the Rosebay plant. This flower is known for thriving in areas that have faced extreme and challenging conditions, which resonates deeply with many people beginning their therapy journey—striving to grow and flourish despite difficult pasts or experiences.

Counselling can be a powerful tool for building resilience and thriving after periods of stress or hardship. It offers a safe, non-judgmental space to reflect on past experiences, identify patterns or triggers, and work through traumas or present difficulties. Through therapy, individuals can develop a stronger sense of self, learn to adapt to change, and cultivate the emotional resilience needed to overcome future challenges.

Frequently asked questions...


When do you have available appointments?

I am passionate about being accessible in terms of appointment times. Life is busy, and I know when I researched starting my own counselling journey, I found it hard to fit another weekly appointment in around so many other commitments. It is important to find the best appointment time that works for you. Because of this I offer a range of appointment times, including early morning and evening appointments online and in-person.


What if I need to cancel?

I understand that life can get hectic at times, and cancellations may happen. Cancellations made with more than 48 hours notice will not require payment. Sessions cancelled after this time will require full payment before the following session. This is to keep your slot available.


What if I don’t know what to say?

This is such a common worry when first coming to therapy. In fact, I remember asking myself the same thing. It’s OK if you aren’t sure where to start, or how to explain how you are feeling. Maybe you’re not quite sure what’s wrong, but you know that something doesn’t feel right. We can take each session week by week, and I have a variety of resources to help prompt reflection whenever you feel ready.
