My aim is to help you regain control over your life and reach your best potential

Why Counselling

Hello and welcome.

Life presents challenges and problems that can be difficult to address at times, leaving us feeling unable to figure out or confused on what to do.

If you feel depressed, stressed, anxious, have relationship issues or are feeling worse than usual, if you are subject to bullying, domestic violence, physical or emotional abuse, I am here to help you.

If you feel the need to talk to someone to share your worries and concerns in confidence and without judgment, I am here for you.
My approach is Humanistic Counselling based on Transactional Analysis (TA), a modern form of psychology that incorporates elements of humanistic, person centred, integrative, psychodynamic therapies into a very versatile therapy that can be used in treatment of all types of mental health disorders, from everyday problems to severe issues.
For example, typical characteristics of Person Centred therapies (e.g. empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence) are combined with techniques used to examine human behaviour through the analysis of social transactions, categorised into three ego states—Parent, Adult, and Child.
Through counselling, I can help you to understand how your interactions and communication patterns are and have been influenced by these internal ego states, come to terms with emotions, behaviours or other issues troubling you, provide tools to resolve conflicts by identifying the causes of disagreements and find ways to improve your communications and develop more effective interpersonal relationships.
