About Tal
Tal Raven is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 25 years of experience. She holds BACP registration and has worked with many people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Tal focuses on helping individuals who want clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are conversational and direct, aimed at understanding what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Tal listens for patterns around attachment, trust and emotional responsivity and helps clients name what is happening in their relationships. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to attend to how emotions shape connections. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support coping, routine change and managing anxious thoughts.
Tal adapts tools to the person rather than forcing a single method. Clients often come with issues such as trauma, abuse, grief, addiction, parenting strain or sleep and eating difficulties. She also helps people dealing with abandonment, communication problems, commitment concerns and caregiver stress.
Practical steps and emotional understanding are mixed in each session. Tal is used to working with people across different stages of life who are looking to rebuild confidence, manage mood swings or cope with big life changes. Therapy usually involves short-term plans and longer conversations as needed, with the pace set by the client.

Online support
How Tal's approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the role of emotion in how people relate to themselves and others. Online sessions using EFT help clients notice emotional responses, name them and practise new ways of connecting with feelings that cause distress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. In remote work this tends to include exercises to notice thoughts, short behavioural experiments and values-based goal setting that fit into daily life.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns of relating and how they turn up in current relationships. Online sessions can review those patterns, map how they affect behaviour now and rehearse different responses in role-play or reflection.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match what each person needs. That collaboration shapes whether a short-term focus or a longer series of sessions will be most helpful.
Online work offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when video is not practical, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
