We all want enough space to talk sometimes. You may have already been talking with family or friends about what’s going on for you. But sometimes we need to talk with someone who is trained to help us move forward. A a good therapeutic relationship can foster lasting change.

People come to therapy for many unique reasons. It may be you’d like to feel less overwhelmed by the experiences that life brings. Or you’d like your relationships with others to be more satisfying and fulfilling. You may be seeking a deeper sense of self-acceptance or would like to become even more of the person you’d like to be. It may be you’d like to live your life with greater freedom, contentment, and connection with yourself, and others.

You might already have some thoughts about what you’d like to get out of therapy, or you might want to initially spend some time figuring that out. I'll listen with curiosity and empathy, and ask enough questions to help you build a deeper understanding of your inner world. I’ll support you in moving towards expanding your autonomy, freedom and life choices. 

A good psychotherapeutic relationship will ensure you feel actively heard and connected to. It provides the space for you to share things you may not have had the freedom or courage to express before.

In processing your experiences together, we'll build a space in which new options and ways of being will emerge and be nurtured.

I am a psychotherapist in advanced clinical training. I hold a Postgraduate Psychotherapy Diploma in Transactional Analysis (TA).

I TA as my main way of working and take a trauma-informed approach to therapy. TA provides theories and methods that can help us be curious about our experiences. I really like the way TA uses simple, everyday language to explain its theories and concepts. It can be particularly useful in helping be curious if our past experiences may be influencing how we make sense of ourselves and others now.

I provide a therapy practice that embraces and supports diversity. This includes providing a gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity affirming therapy space. This means I hold a firm belief that all genders, sexualities, and relationship types and structures are equal in value.

I offer a free 30 minute online consultation for us to find out a bit more about each other.
