Why talk to me

Having been in therapy and multiple therapeutic spaces, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to the therapy process. I strive to hold a safe, non judgemental, non hierarchical and collaborative space for the other. I hold the principles of Transactional Analysis as key to my work - that is, People are essentially OK (their value is inherent, regardless of the choices they make), People are capable of thinking for themselves, and People are capable of change. I value compassion, empathy and authenticity, and work towards bringing these aspects into my work with others.

While my work is largely informed by Transactional Analysis, I also bring in elements of Gestalt and Rogerian frameworks into the therapeutic space. I am in consistent supervision and personal therapy, to ensure that I hold my work to high ethical standards.

I have 600+ hours of training & supervision to deal with a variety of issues like:

• "I want to build healthier relationships"
• "I want to improve my interpersonal skills"
• "I want to heal from trauma"
• "I want to break free from unhealthy relationship patterns"
• "I want to manage work stress better"
• "I want to handle performance pressure more effectively"
• "I want to process unacknowledged feelings from my past and present"
