About me
I’m Pippa, an experienced UKCP-registered psychotherapist offering face-to-face and online sessions. I work with individuals from different backgrounds, supporting them through a wide range of challenges and life transitions.
My core approach is relational Transactional Analysis, which places the relationship between client and therapist at the heart of the therapeutic process and outcome. I also integrate Humanistic practice, dream work, and symbolism, drawing on these approaches to create a flexible, responsive framework tailored to each individual. This style means I can draw from different approaches and enables the work to be guided by what feels most meaningful and effective for you.
I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. Many clients find that having an objective, supportive space to talk can bring relief, clarity, and a deeper understanding of themselves.
Together, we may work to:
Understand the meaning and value of your experiences
Gain awareness of unhelpful patterns
Develop your own capacity for positive and lasting change
I aim to work with empathy, validation, and challenge, guided by what you want to achieve.
With nine years of experience, I offer both short- and long-term therapy, depending on your needs. I have worked with clients experiencing:
Anxiety (including generalised and health anxiety)
Depression
Relationship difficulties and repeating patterns
Childhood trauma, neglect, and abuse
Cult and spiritual abuse
Grief, loss, and life transitions
Stress, anger, and emotional regulation
Identity and self-understanding
If you’d like to explore working together, please get in touch by phone or email. I would like to help you find clarity, relief, and growth in a supportive and confidential space.
