Sometimes life can feel chaotic and out-of-control. Perhaps you struggle with a sense of helplessness, and that your usual ways of coping don't work anymore. Or perhaps you feel anxious or depressed. Maybe you have feelings that don't make sense or come out of nowhere. Or you might have always felt like an 'outsider', or that you find social interactions challenging or confusing. Maybe you just want to make a change to your life, but don't know where to start.

Our past experiences can sometimes cause difficulty for us, whether we can see it or not. I am trained in Transactional Analysis. This is a branch of talking therapy that looks at how the past impacts on the present. By listening closely to your experiences, I will help you to spot old patterns, heal old wounds, and move forward with your life.

I appreciate how challenging it can be to make the first step. Even seeking out a therapist can be difficult. I've been there myself. If you feel like I could help, please feel free to reach out to me. I offer a free introductory call to see if I would be a good fit for you. I offer appointments in person in Manchester city centre, and also online.

Transactional Analysis

I use Transactional Analysis (TA). TA is a talking therapy, and often works in a deep way with clients, which is another way of saying that it can take some time. We might work together anywhere from 3 months up to a number of years.
