Experiance-  Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy. 

The NHS, highly recognises Psychotherapy as a way to move forward with a better understanding of the self .

I have trained in integrated therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy (CFT),  person-centred providing a flexible approach to finding solutions.

Therapy can help to ease the suffering of anxiety and depression, understand emotions, create better boundaries, and build self-esteem and resilience.

Specialism

I have trained in baby loss awareness and can guide the bereaved parent to understand the loss of a child through miscarriage, stillbirth or sudden infant death. 

Reaching out at a time of need shows excellent courage.

Here are a few things that I can help with

Supporting neurodivergent and neuro-diverse individuals and couples with dyslexia, Autism and ADHD coping strategies, therapy helps with finding better ways to cope. Greif, anxiety, depression, relational issues (not a conclusive list)

What happens in the first session?

There is some paperwork, such as an intake form,  I usually send this via email and discuss it during our first session.

Payment is typically required 24 hours before the session, and banking details are provided once a session is confirmed.

I am interested in what has brought you to therapy. I encourage you to discuss how things are working or not working in your life and what you expect to gain from treatment. I'd like to understand your needs and explore how we can work together.

Meeting online  How to prepare: find a confidential space for 50 minutes, grab a cup of tea or water, and some tissues. Therapy can bring tears and laughter; you want to be comfortable.

individual supervision one to one online 

£75 per 60 minutes

£95 per 90 minutes  

I work with supervisees in a reflective capacity, helping to understand and nurture yourself and the client.

Do you feel stuck with clients or are not sure of the way transference works?

Do you wish to understand complementary transactions that are clues to your attunement with the client?

Do you wish to learn the art of using metaphors and imaginings to help the client move forward more subtly? 

Supervision

I work from the seven-eyed model of supervision (Peter Hawkins and Aisling McMahon)

That focuses on:

1. The client: who they are and what their issue is, what they chose to share, which area of their life they wanted to explore, and how this session's content might relate to content from previous sessions.

2. The strategies and interventions of the supervisee with the client, using metaphors and images

3. The relationship between the client and the supervisee; how the supervisee's history affects the therapeutic relationship.

4. The supervisee, the transference and countertransference that could affect the therapy they provide.

5. The supervisory relationship: the parallel process that may play out during supervision.

6. The supervisor focuses on their own process and how their work with the supervisee affects the supervision relationship.

7. Focus on the wider context: professional codes of ethics, the context the supervisee works from, the relationship with other agencies or other supervisors, social, cultural, and political beliefs, and economic context.

I work from a Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy approach and have experience and training in understanding person-centred, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Compassion focused therapy (CFT), Acceptance and commitment therapy ACT. 

Experienced in working with clients with PTS, family issues, childhood issues, ADHD, grief, anxiety, and depression (not an extensive list)

With the focused academic experience of Bipolar Disorder during University training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapies within CBT (BSC University of Derby)

The first session consists of setting out a contract for working and to see how we can work together 

I work in a way that supports the individual and enables a better theraputic alliance.

Supervision enables the therapist to feel supported and get to know their style of working and how thats unique to each therapist 

Supervision is vital to well being, talking to another professonal can bring about a better understanding to the therapy room.

Peer supervison consists of topics each month this allows for peers to discuss important topics rather than bringing specific clients 

Peer supervision  is a great way to utalise an experianced therapists knowledge.

peer supervision or as I like to call that the therapy circle can be used as an ad hoc way to make hours up and also consistant attendance to gain support when embarking out as a new therapist.
