My Approach

As a Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA) I use a relational & co-created approach to therapy, which means which means that what emerges in the relationship between client and therapist is important to the therapeutic process and outcome. I am warm, empathic, approachable, and non-judgemental. I work with each client as an individual and seek to understand each person as such and draw on my training, as well as my life experiences to support this. 

I will challenge where appropriate and believe in clients' capacity to change, grow, and actualise their potential. At times this might feel uncomfortable / frustrating / worrying as clients begin to question their frame of reference or the way they live their lives and start to make changes. 

I believe we all have the potential to grow, and therapy can be a potent agent for that can help us develop healthier patterns, new coping strategies or perspectives. I listen to each individual regarding the pace of the work and am responsive in my approach to support individual growth and understanding of self. 

My work is based in Transactional Analysis (TA) using both a relational and integrative approach drawing on different theories such as Attachment theory, neuroscience and Object relations. As a qualified yoga teacher, I believe our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and body are deeply connected. By becoming aware of what is going on in our bodies we can become more attuned with our emotions. Working relationally means I pay particular attention to the dynamics emerging in our sessions and these provide opportunities for us to explore relational patterns you may bring into other relationships. I will work with you towards a greater understanding of your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours to help resolve any difficulties.

About Me

Hi, I offer both long and short-term individual, relationship & couples counselling.  I have experience across a broad range of issues & as a relationship & couples specialist, I'm passionate about helping people resolve the relational problems they are experiencing.

I'm a qualified Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist (CTA) & a member of UKCP, BACP & TAANZ.  I also help businesses & individuals resolve psychological obstacles that cause work-related problems.

Taking the first bold step into therapy can be daunting, not knowing what to expect.  I aim to create a safe space where my role is to help you understand the meaning & value of what you bring with empathy, non-judgement, validation, & challenge where appropriate.  Using the therapeutic relationship I work with you to help you build awareness about unhelpful patterns & realise that you have the skills within you to make the changes you want. The direction & length of therapy will be for us to work out together, I am guided by what you want & need.  

Bold souls taking bold steps of discovery together.
