Finding the right approach for you
Hello. My name is Tay, and I’m the counsellor behind &Oranges. Thank you for coming here.
I don't believe there is one perfect method of therapy that works for everyone.
We all need different things at different points in our lives. Sometimes we need someone to listen deeply and help us untangle our thoughts. Other times we need practical support, accountability, and a clear path towards change.
Because of this, I work flexibly. Some sessions are centred around exploration and reflection, allowing you the space to process your experiences without judgement. Others are more action-oriented, helping you identify goals and take meaningful steps towards them. Most people naturally move between both approaches over time.
For me, counselling is fundamentally relational rather than clinical. A genuine human connection is often one of the most important ingredients in healing, and I believe that feeling seen and understood can create the safety needed for real change.
What to expect in the first session
Our first session lasts 45 minutes and is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what's brought you here, what you're hoping for, and whether we both feel we're the right fit to work together.
My goal isn't to keep you in therapy forever. It's to help you develop the understanding, confidence, and tools to eventually no longer need me.
Above all, I genuinely care about the people I work with, and I consider it a privilege to be part of their journey.
Qualifications
I hold an MSc in Psychology and have experience counselling in the UK. As I establish my practice in France, I am currently offering sessions at a reduced rate.
