Hello, I’m Tonia, a relational psychotherapist trained in Transactional Analysis(TA). The decision to go to therapy is never an easy one. Approaching someone you don’t know to share intimate details about painful subjects can feel daunting. However, please be reassured, I am an experienced, warm, and empathic practitioner who is open minded and nonjudgmental. I offer a safe and totally confidential space for us to work closely together to help you understand yourself and your relationships better, and to explore what may be going on behind the difficult emotions, thoughts and behaviours troubling you.
Though I work with people who have experienced a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties and trauma, I have particular interest in working with bereavement and loss (including the loss of a loved one to suicide); women’s issues (including fertility/infertility, miscarriage, peri/menopause); and relationship problems (including domestic abuse)
I passionately believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to create personal growth and positive change in people’s lives. If you're interested please visit my website and contact me. I am happy to work long or short-term depending on your needs and circumstances. Following our initial conversations we will agree upon a plan of action together.
