Transforming Talk

Online psychotherapy and counselling where you stay in the pilot’s seat

A safe, non-judgmental place to be heard and seen. I work with adults across the UK online, face to face in Exeter, and outdoors on walk and talk sessions, using transactional analysis therapy.

Therapy that treats you as the expert on your own life

Lasting change grows out of a trusting relationship. That’s where I start.

A space to be heard

Safe, confidential and non-judgmental. You set the pace, and nothing you bring is too small or too difficult.

Understand how you work

Transactional analysis helps you see your own patterns, so you feel more in control of how you live your life.

Meet in the way that suits you

Online, face to face in central Exeter, or walking through the countryside. Choose what helps you talk most easily.

Three ways to work together

Individual sessions are 50 minutes. Couples and group work are available by arrangement.

What colleagues say

Comments from fellow practitioners.

I trained with Paul and found him to be kind, grounded, and genuinely supportive. He brings warmth, clarity, and care to his work, with a natural ability to put people at ease. I’d happily recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist they can trust.

H.S · Colleague, on Psychology Today

Paul is a really smart and perceptive therapist. He is supportive, calm and challenges your barriers to change.

I.M · Colleague, on Psychology Today

Paul is a gentle and empathic therapist. He has a great capacity to be with people in the hardest of times. I highly recommend Paul, especially to neurodivergent clients, as he understands the way neurodiversity intersects with other life experiences.

Paul Reisbach, therapist at Transforming Talk

Hello, I’m Paul

I started out as a youth worker twenty-five years ago. A growing awareness of mental health struggles, especially among young people, led me to retrain as a psychotherapist, and I’ve now worked in community mental health for over ten years.
I use transactional analysis because it puts you and me on an equal footing. I think of my role as a co-pilot in your plane: you stay at the controls, and together we learn how it flies.
