Danielle Walton Larner

Please contact me with your current availability and I'll try to accommodate your preference.

Face to face / home visits are available in Bristol, UK

Online sessions available throughout the UK and Worldwide.

Hi, I'm Danielle and I run Anima Talk. A Counselling and Wellbeing service with affordable, quality counselling at its heart.

I'm passionate about reducing barriers to counselling and so prices start at £30 for online and telephone session and £45 for face to face. Sessions last 50mins and home visits are also available upon request (Bristol). Please see my website

 https://animatalk.co.uk/services-and-fees/ for further info.

I also offer an online only 1.5hr single session therapy (SST) at £70. 

I mix private practice with freelancing for charities, corporate and government organisations. 

I'm experienced in helping people with a variety of issues including: overwhelm, depression, relationships, family, work, identity, trauma (past and present), addiction and grief. 

I specialise in helping you to find a way through life's difficulties by working collaboratively to provide a therapeutic style that works for you. This may mean giving you time and space to take things at your own pace, or a more directive approach using evidence-based therapeutic exercises and sharing tools and techniques to help you in your daily life. This approach to counselling is called Pluralistic - and the philosophy behind it is that different people will need different things at different times. So let's work together to find out what that is.

I see mental health in line with physical health so I also offer a more generalised wellbeing check-in service for those wanting to explore personal or professional development or work towards setting and achieving goals using a solutions focused approach. 

The Single Session Therapy (SST) is a stand alone approach. It's where both of us agree to meet for an extended, more structured session, focusing on a single issue with the aim of either finding a solution or next steps. Next steps may include: personal actions, signposting to organisations for further support, or ongoing counselling sessions. Single Session Therapy can be one-off or repeated on a ad-hoc basis. An overview of the session including agreed solution or next steps can be produced in writing for an additional fee.  

We are all fabulously different and I enjoy working with a diverse clientele hence my listings below. I have worked with people exploring gender, sexuality, race and neurodiversity and using my  knowledge of the sector to signpost to specialist organisations if necessary.

Our first session is very much a time for you to share your reasons for seeking counselling and to feel what it's like to talk to me. I do a bit more talking than I would usually do in a session: gathering some personal details (which are confidential, as are our sessions), and going through the counselling contract. The rest of the session will be us talking and finding a way forward that suits you - such as the type of approach that might best help, as well as the frequency and number of sessions you have in mind. 

Whether it's your first time, or you've previously had talking therapy, I understand that this first visit can sometimes feel a bit daunting  - but hopefully by the end of the session you'll feel a little more at ease and hopeful that you've found the right support.

Single Session Therapy (SST) - due to the nature of this therapy specific SST forms will be sent to you to complete and return before your session. These include the counselling contract, personal details and a questionnaire to act as a starting point for the session. 

For potential clients who are unsure if counselling is the right way forward, or for those who would like to understand how I work in more detail, I offer a 15 min telephone or video consultation charged at £10. 

Advance payment is required to secure your session. 

Currently offering online sessions only. Please contact me for availability.
