About me and my therapy practice

I am a Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist (CTA, MSc Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy) and a qualified Transactional Analysis Counsellor. I work with individuals and couples. The way that I work is respectful and empathic, and I work towards the goals that you set, helping you to make the changes that you strive for so that you are free of old patterns that may have been unhelpful to you.

I offer online and telephone appointments to individuals and couples.
