The Cedar Counselling

The Cedar Counselling Clinic

Welcome! I'm Talia, a qualified Integrative Counsellor & founder of the Cedar Counselling Clinic, based in Cheshire and the surrounding areas. My goal is to provide tailored and specialist support to improve your overall mental health & wellbeing.

About Me

My Background &
Approach

With many years of experience in the industry, I am aware of how crucial it is to prioritise mental health, and my goal is to ensure sessions are tailored to every client’s individual needs. My approach is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment, where clients feel empowered and genuinely listened to.

Mental health is just as vital as physical health, yet it is often overlooked or stigmatised. I truly believe counselling can transform lives. Everyone faces challenging times, and my goal is to de-stigmatise mental health and ensure clients make themselves and their relationships a priority. As an Integrative Counsellor, I combine the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Approach (CBT), Psychodynamic Approach, and Humanistic Approach to help clients recognise their worth, embrace personal growth, and navigate life's complexities in a warm and welcoming space.

I offer flexible and blended counselling, via a range of modalities (face-to-face, online, or phone sessions). I also provide a free 20-minute consultation to discuss your goals and preferred method.

I have a wealth of experience supporting individuals, specifically around issues such as burnout, healthy relationships, coping strategies, anxiety, depression, and around processing trauma-related conditions such as PTSD and stress. My background includes working in mental health and psychiatric facilities, schools, hospitals, orphanages, and in the charity sector. In addition, I have experience working at the Priory Hospital, providing psychological and therapeutic support to individuals struggling with addiction and substance misuse, eating disorders, and complex mental health conditions. I have worked in both Manchester Crown and Magistrates’ Court, advocating for victims of trauma and complex crime to obtain specialist support, and to assist them to navigate through the criminal justice system in preparation for court proceedings. I posses a comprehensive knowledge of mental health, rooted in trauma-informed care, and I provide a personalised and high-quality therapeutic experience that can be adapted to your individual needs and preferences. I am committed to adapting our sessions in any way you require, ensuring that support is as effective and rewarding as possible.
