Approach
My psychotherapeutic practice is underpinned by Transactional Analysis (TA) as it is extremely effective with individuals, couples and groups.
TA psychotherapy is committed to change and provides a powerful approach in bringing about human well being - focusing upon specific changes desired by the client to understand behaviors, emotions and thoughts that prevent the development of full human potential.
My practice is also integrative, which means I do not restrict my practice to any one approach - utilising every aspect of my training, knowledge, skills and experience to reinforce positive relationship styles and healthy functioning by understanding how each person can constructively move forward to promote positive change in their lives.
The majority of my practice tends to be medium to long-term in character - though the length of time any one remains in therapy is always subject to the needs of the individual.
