ABOUT ME

Finding the right therapist to work with you can be a very

confusing and overwhelming process.  In order to help you decide

whether I am the right therapist for you I have outlined my

qualifications and how I work here.

​

I am a Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA), hold a MSc in

Psychotherapy (awaiting ratification from Middlesex University,

due Feb 19) and a Diploma in Transactional Analysis

Psychotherapeutic Counselling.  I undertook my training at the

Metanoia Institute in London.  In addition I hold a Diploma in

Clinical Supervision awarded by the Iron Mill College.

 

My core philosophy and training is in Relational Transactional

Analysis, however I work in an integrative way with my clients and

draw on a number of different theories and interventions to

support our work together.  I take my lead from you in terms of

what you find helpful and prefer to work together to find a way that

supports growth and development specifically for you.
