About me and my therapy practice
One to one individual therapeutic sessions using transactional analysis and psychodynamic theoretical base. Mindfulness also used as a support for internal balance where anxiety management needed.
I offer short term counselling 6 to 10 sessions or open ended. In Couple work the focus is on the relationship and attachment history, and the agreed goals. Commitment to some homework maybe required.
Practice description
I work relationally and empathetically with you to understand your internal world, and the challenges you are facing.
What happens in the session often reflects what is happening in the external world. So it is an opportunity to identify and challenge the thinking and behaviour of self in relation to others.
I will help you to develop an internal and external personal balance by offering a safe space to develop insight into familiar negative patterns and painful repetitive experiences. I do this by offering interpretations, we then work together to find a more fruitful way of being.
