About Me

My Services.

Style

My style is relaxed and approachable, but I also aim for therapy to be engaging and challenging when appropriate. Questioning long-term patterns can be uncomfortable and at times upsetting, but I have a firm belief in the process of therapy and its ability to help us develop.

Specialism

My specialism is Transactional Analysis, which is a theory of human behaviour, personality and communication. The approach offers an accessible framework for human psychology and relationship patterns, while also enabling deeper work on historical issues which impact us in the present. I draw on my own life experiences to guide my work, and above all aim to understand every client as a unique individual.
