I am a Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I have an M.Sc in Psychotherapy as well as counselling diplomas in Transactional Analysis and Educational Therapy.I work with adult individuals and couples. I specialise in working with anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, self-worth, professional problems and personal challenges.I work with a wide variety of clients from different ethnic backgrounds, sexualities and genders. I work a lot with LGBT clients, particularly gay men, and in particular with issues like coming to terms with their sexuality, acceptance, feeling excluded, being isolated, drug and alcohol addiction, relationships, how to find a relationship, low self-worth and self-loathing. Issues surrounding living with HIV.I work with what clients bring about their lives. Many clients feel unfulfilled, troubled, keep feeling they repeat the same behavioural patterns and struggle to move forward in their lives.Therapy is about finding greater self-awareness which is the biggest healer.I will also work with a client's personal journey through life especially their emotional journey. This can go right back to very early childhood experiences which can implant negative and undermining feelings about the self. Understanding the impact of these experiences can help a client decontaminate negative thoughts about themselves and liberate them to becoming more autonomous in how they live their lives.Therapy can be short term, a few sessions only that may help to clarify or resolve an aspect of your life and thinking. Equally, it may be more open ended. At any time, you are able to withdraw from your therapy. I hope however that if this happens it is done by working together. Some people find that their therapy becomes an integral part of their care and support and may find it extending to months or even longer, but that process evolves very gradually.
