About me

I am a UKCP accredited Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist. I offer open-ended, long-term psychotherapy and time-limited, short-term counselling. I work within a secure, confidential, non-judgmental and empathic environment. My approach is relational, which is an efficacious and powerful model of working with individuals who struggle with psychological, emotional and relational distress. I work with clients from different cultures, backgrounds, lifestyles and sexual orientations.

My approach to individual therapy

We will explore together feelings, beliefs, behaviours, and challenging experiences that are causing you distress in a safe, confidential and supportive environment. We will set the therapy goals that you want to achieve and work towards meeting them with empathy, active listening and nonjudgmental acceptance. Based on the therapy goals I will use different techniques belonging to different therapeutic orientation (Transactional Analysis//Gestalt/Humanistic).

Our first individual session

The first session is a period for you and me to get to know each other and get an idea of how to proceed. During the first session, I may ask you: What brought you to therapy? What are your symptoms?​ What do you feel is not working in your life? What do you hope to get from therapy? Some questions about your current living situation, career, relationships (family, romantic, friends) and history.
