My Approach

Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, from an integrative perspective, recognises attachment and relationships as fundamental human needs. Through meaningful contact within the therapeutic relationship and a safe environment, clients can increase their self-awareness, begin to explore and integrate split-off parts of themselves, and address disruptions in their development and attachment.

About Me

I am a Certified Transactional Analyst Psychotherapist (CTA) and a member of both UKATA and EATA, with Senior Accreditation from BACP. I have over 22 years of experience as a therapist, having worked in a variety of settings including government agencies (as an in-house therapist), Relate (specialising in relationship therapy), and psychiatric placements in both acute and forensic environments.

Currently, I practice in both the NHS and private settings, supporting adults and couples facing mental health challenges. I offer both short- and long-term face-to-face psychotherapy, integrating Transactional Analysis with additional training in Psychodynamic therapy, Attachment theory, and Couple Therapy.

I believe that every individual is unique, with distinct needs that require a flexible, integrative approach. By combining TA with other therapeutic modalities, I tailor my work to better meet these needs. My approach is primarily relational, focusing on understanding the full personal meaning of the presenting issues and attending to core relational needs. This supports the creation of new, fulfilling experiences that clients can integrate into their lives.

My specialist areas of interest include depression, anxiety, identity concerns, organisational and relationship difficulties, abuse, and personal exploration.

Fees: £60–£70 per session.

I have also completed the UKCP Covid-19 Online Working Guidance.
