Transactional Analysis is my primary treatment modality.
People who come to see me are usually experiencing grief, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety or anger. Some have experienced past abuse and have a history of trauma. We relate much of this to their early relationship experiences. By working through these attachment issues, we learn how to better regulate extreme emotions.

More recently I have completed 5 years training in Transactional Analysis and am now a Certified Transactional Analyst.
I work relationally to explore what the function of any difficulties around eating are and their origins. In my experience, eating disorders are often an expression of underlying unhappiness with oneself in some aspect. Therapy aims to give understanding around what has caused this and rebuild the individual's capacity to see their inherent value and worth.

Anxiety can manifest as nervousness, racing heart, dread, worrying, low sex drive, sleep struggles, panic attacks, or stress. Depression may involve persistent low mood, hopelessness, numbness, guilt, irritability, isolation, suicidal thoughts, confusion, or increased substance use. Relationships with partners, family, or colleagues may bring challenges in communication, emotional conflict, trust, intimacy, or break-ups. New skills can reduce symptoms and improve relationships. But long-lasting change and new choices in life requires better understanding yourself and addressing the root cause of your issues, even if it takes time.

I am passionate about supporting you in the nuanced difficulties you may be facing in your life. At times it can feel difficult to know how to ask for help, and to tune into what might actually feel helpful for you individually. I endeavour to work with my clients in ways which feel meaningful for them, working to understand what it is that they're seeking support for as well as exploring their unique inner desires, wants, and means of fulfilment. I love working with individuals who have a desire to understand themselves deeper and feel more connected to themselves.
