Talking therapy, when and where you need it

Welcome to talkplace, where you can find out a bit about talking therapy (and book an introductory session if you like), and where you can also browse our short articles on various mental health topics - the talkplace toolkit. We offer a complete choice of  face-to-face therapy room sessions, Zoom counselling, telephone sessions and even, as we head into the winter, outdoor 'walk + talk' meetings.

ABOUT THE THERAPY

 Talkplace counsellors work with you to help you find ways to cope better with what life throws at you. People often come to therapy seeking ways to feel better about themselves and more in control of their lives. Working together, that is what we want the counselling to achieve.

Building trust

Counsellors don't provide advice, but nor will they leave you to figure it all out on your own. It’s a process of working together. We aim to build trust, and allow you to find words to express things that may have gone unspoken for some time during your lifetime.  

Where it happens

How much does it cost?

Talkplace therapists offer competitive rates, which will vary depending on the location and the type of services offered: city centre locations will typically cost the most, while phone and online counselling services will cost less than face-to-face sessions. Payment is arranged with the individual counsellor.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is talkplace?

talkplace is a group of independent psychotherapists working in private practice in London, who also have clients worldwide through our online counselling (Skype and Zoom) and phone links. It was set up by Paul Carslake in 2019.

What kind of therapy is available?

talkplace therapists offer both short term and longer term counselling and therapy, with the option of phone or online counselling sessions as well as face-to-face meetiings. Our 'brand' of therapy includes psychodynamic and integrative techniques, and looks at repeated patterns of thought and behaviour from the past, as well as making use of the interactions between therapist and patient as a means of learning more about our ways of being and relating.

What kind of problems brings people to therapy at talkplace?

 A very wide range, relating to all aspects of work or home life. The most common ones (across online therapy an in-person therapy) are depression-based conditions and anxiety, as well as bereavement and work stress.

Who are the therapists?

All our therapists are trained to a Postgraduate Diploma or Master’s Degree level, and are registered with the relevant professional bodies, including the BACP and the BPC.  

How many sessions?

This will depend on you. You can have anything from Single Session Therapy (SST), or a set of pre-booked sessions which you can arrange with your therapist. All of these can be renewed at your request with the same therapist. 

What if I miss a session?

You will usually need to pay a cancellation fee for any missed sessions.

How can I pay?

You can arrange payment directly with your therapist. Most will accept card payments or use online payment links.

What if I’m not sure about having therapy?

The best way to find out is to book a single ‘taster’ session, or else a short block of sessions - say for six weeks.

What if I don’t like my therapist, can I change?

Once you have completed your block of sessions, you can of course choose not to renew, or to start with another therapist from talkplace or elsewhere. However, initially disliking a therapist can often lead to very productive work, as it will reveal aspects of how you relate to people outside of therapy too, and give you the opportunity to talk frankly and safely about something that appears hard to tolerate.

What happens when I book online for a 15-minute call?

During the call, you will be able to ask anything you like about the talkplace service, and perhaps discuss in broad terms what is drawing you to a talking therapy.

How can I contact my therapist in between sessions?

Your therapist will leave you a contact number or email address, in case you need to cancel a session. For all our clients (including those signed up for telephone or online counselling) your therapist is only available during your appointed counselling session.

We look forward to hearing from you.
