Life does not always go according to plan; whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or a life event is impacting you from doing things you want to, I will offer you a safe, empathic and confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, to promote greater self-awareness and the opportunity for grow and change. I will work with you in a collaborative, bespoke way to support you in exploring the challenges you face.
Although I integrate a number of counselling modalities to ensure the right fit for you, my background training is in Transactional Analysis.
Transactional Analysis (TA) is a psychoanalytic theory and method of therapy developed by Eric Berne in the 1950’s, who was a student of Sigmund Freud. The basis of TA is that childhood experiences greatly impact our lives as adults and are the basis for the development of our personalities and psychological or emotional issues that we suffer. This can then unconsciously cause us to replay the same attitudes and behaviours that our parents had towards us or to respond to communication and interactions with past childhood anxieties and emotions.
‘Awareness requires living in the here and now, and not in the elsewhere, the past or the future’ (Eric Berne).
I have personally found that developing greater self-awareness of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours provides a platform for change, self-development and the opportunity to reflect on our past and influence our future.
