I understand that coming to therapy for the first time can be daunting. Myaim is to provide a safe, confidential and respectful space, where you feel able to share your experience and the difficulties you face. I work relationally, as I believe it is through relationship that we are able to revisit areas of confusion, concern or distress and find our own ways to acknowledge, heal and if we choose to, change.
My work is collaborative and respectful of your pace and inner resources and I work towards forming a relationship based on mutual trust in a safe and confidential environment. I work in a supportive and non-judgemental way, appropriately challenging you while creating an environment that is accepting and empowering.
My therapeutic background is in Transactional Analysis (TA), which
is a contractual method of therapy which uses a set of practical conceptual tools designed to promote personal growth and change, enabling well-being and helping individuals to reach their full potential in all aspects of life. One of the basic philosophies of transactional analysis is that people are 'OK' in their essence and as core selves. Everyone has the capacity to think and to be accountable for his or her own thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
