Our Services

Individuals

Individual therapy is the process of discovering yourself so that you are able to meet the challenges in your life, create meaningful relationships, find your sense of identity, gain self-fulfilment and find meaning and purpose in your life.

Couples / Relationships

Relationship counselling is a place to work through obstacles where there is a lack of intimacy and connection, frequent arguing or communication misalignment, betrayal, reluctance to commitment, strong emotions and/or power and control that impedes and takes over the relationship.

Families

Family counselling provides the space for you and your family to work through various challenges with your children. These challenges may include bullying and harassment, cyber bullying, difficulties at school, anxiety and depression, unhelpful eating patterns (eating disorders), social withdrawing, aggressive behaviour, drug and alcohol, criminal behaviour and/or, unhealthy sexual practices.

Group Workshops

Talk Together holds various group workshops including parenting groups, post separation, anger management, anxiety & depression and, an ongoing self-help group. Through the utilisation of group dynamics, this psychotherapeutic self-help group is a means for self-discovery and self-healing..

In recent years Australia has witnessed an inexorable rise in the demand for counselling services as modern day living - and the stresses that accompanies it, takes its toll on all sectors of our communities; the young and old, the strong and fragile are all equally likely to succumb to obstacles that can negatively impact on our daily life.

Tak Ananda is a qualified and highly experienced counsellor, couples and family therapist and, psychotherapist. Being the face behind ‘Talk Together’, Tak provides an eclectic range of counselling services in Haberfield and Marrickville. Whilst Tak adopts a holistic approach in her counselling, she specialises in Emotional Focused and Systemic Therapy; therapy that prioritises the development of secure emotional bonds, an essential element for a person’s well-being.

There are virtually limitless reasons why you may seek counselling; you may be experiencing anxiety or depression, you may be overcome with a general malaise in which you question your own purpose or self-worth, have difficulties with meaningful relationships, be experiencing troubles with your children or, you may be trapped in a cycle of substance abuse that is destructive to your lifestyle. Additionally, although loss, whether it be the death of a loved one, loss of a home or the feelings of loss associated with separation or divorce often have a profound effect on both mental and physical well-being, with appropriate guidance and counselling nearly all such situations can be resolved.

Tak provides individual, couples and family counselling in Marrickville and Haberfield. Individual counselling often becomes a journey of self-discovery, growth and transformation that leads to enhanced levels of self-awareness and fulfilment and, allows you to maximise your potential, bringing contentment and peace to a previously troubled stage of your life. Relationship counselling helps couples work through some of the most common problems experienced – a lack of connection and intimacy, a seeming irretrievable breakdown in communication or,, an imbalance of power and control within the relationship that could have the potential to lead to family violence. Tak deals with all of these matters and more with the greatest level of compassion, empathy and respect, facilitating an environment of safety and calmness where individuals and couples can explore the deeply rooted causes of their problems.

Young people and children are vulnerable to similar stresses that many adults experience but may be less able to vocalise or express their problems and consequently, children often display behaviours that are both challenging and destructive. If your child is experiencing problems at school, is subject to bullying and harassment, becomes obsessed with digital devices, displays eating disorders or, is withdrawn, chaotic or defiant, then family counselling provided by Tak in Marrickville and Haberfield can help you find the way to create a cohesive and harmonious family unit.

If your life is blighted by negativity, doubt, insecurity or loneliness, Talk Together is there to help you discover meaning and purpose in your life. Additionally, couples therapy in Haberfield and Marrickville can restore the joy and love that was once the trademark of your relationship.

Call Tak today to book your first counselling session that can shape the rest of your life.
