How can therapy help you?

l love working with people and supporting them to make positive changes in their lives. We all share the desire and drive to be the best person we possibly can and to have healthy, loving relationships. Sometimes life gets in the way and we get stuck in a moment, a thought or a pattern of behaviour. Life can be difficult and the way forward is not always clear. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy for personal growth, to live in the here-and-now and to better connect with the things that truly matter to you.

I have experience of working with relationship problems including with siblings and blended families, cancer, anxiety and depression, surviving sexual abuse and bereavement. I have experience of working with and supporting neurodiverse clients including people with ADHD and autism. Having worked in the corporate environment I am aware of the harm that work stress can have on our health and mental well being and the challenges of maintaining a healthy work life balance. I have insight into the games that can get played out in the workplace and the harm they can do. Transactional analysis is a great tool for understanding behaviour and regaining personal control.

Choosing the right therapist is important. Recent evidence has shown that the relationship between the client and therapist is key to a succesful outcome. I offer a free introductory telephone session so please get in touch.

My approach

I am trained in Transactional Analysis (TA) which is a theory of personality that looks at how our past can affect our present and how old belief systems can sometimes get in the way of making the changes we want. It is also a great tool for understanding what is going on when we communicate with others and for developing our own self awareness.

I am interested in the mind body connection and I find that mindfulness and meditation can be helpful particulary with people with anxiety or who have experienced trauma. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual.
