My approach to psychotherapy prioritises the therapeutic relationship and places it at the heart of the healing and growth process. Rather than seeing the therapist as a detached expert, this approach views both therapist and client as active participants in a shared journey of understanding and change.
Central to Relational TA is the idea that therapy is a collaborative, human encounter. It focuses on the here-and-now interactions between therapist and client, while also exploring how past experiences and unconscious patterns also inform them. The therapist works with the client to make sense of these dynamics, creating a space where new ways of relating and being can emerge.
This approach draws on the foundational concepts of TA—such as ego states (Parent, Adult, Child), life scripts, and psychological games—but with a particular emphasis on how these show up within the therapeutic relationship itself. It also gives careful attention to unconscious communication which can reveal deeper relational patterns.
By working with these live, real-time dynamics, I work to support clients in understanding how they relate to others and to themselves. Through a genuine and emotionally attuned relationship, clients are able to experience meaningful insight, emotional healing, and long-lasting personal growth.
I am an experienced relational psychotherapist and provide a confidential, compassionate space where you can reflect on the challenges in your life and gain deeper understanding. These challenges may stem from everyday stress or from significant life events, including experiences in childhood. I also offer supervision for both trainee and qualified psychotherapists and counsellors.
I work with adults, couples and groups on a range of presenting issues for both short, long-term and open-ended psychotherapy, depending on what you feel would be most beneficial for your personal goals.
