About me
What I do
As a Transactional Analysis therapist, I help people make sense of themselves, their relationships and the patterns that may be keeping them stuck.
But what does that actually look like in the therapy room?
It might mean slowing things down and looking at what happens for you in particular situations, perhaps noticing that you regularly put other people’s needs before your own, struggle to express how you really feel, overthink conversations, find relationships difficult, or seem to keep ending up in the same patterns.
We might explore where these patterns came from, what they have helped you to cope with, and whether they are still serving you now. We might notice what happens between us in the therapy room too, because our relationship can sometimes provide useful insight into how you experience other relationships.
And what I don't do…
I don't sit back silently while you talk at me for 50 minutes.
I don't tell you what you should do.
I don't judge your choices or tell you who is right or wrong.
And I don't believe that simply understanding why you feel a certain way automatically makes everything better.
Instead, I work alongside you. I'll be curious, ask questions, gently challenge you when it feels helpful, and help you notice things that might be difficult to see on your own.
Therapy isn't about becoming a different person. It's about understanding yourself more deeply, having more choice in how you respond, and becoming more able to live in a way that feels authentic to you.
I have experience working with bereavement, addiction, anxiety, depression, OCD, neurodiversity, separation and divorce, peri-menopause and menopause and childhood trauma. I also offer couples therapy. If you’d like to explore how we might work together, please get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and have completed the required training and placement hours. I am currently training to be a menopause coach. I have experience working with clients of all ages, genders, and ethnic backgrounds, and across a wide range of presenting issues. My approach is inclusive, culturally responsive, and shaped around each person’s unique needs and goals. I also have over 25 years of experience working in education.
