What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a relationship-centred process that offers space to explore emotional difficulties, relational patterns, and ways of experiencing yourself and others.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms or immediate solutions, psychotherapy involves developing greater awareness and understanding of the experiences, relationships and patterns that shape your life. Through regular therapeutic work, thoughts, feelings and relational experiences can gradually become clearer and more meaningful over time.
Psychotherapy is collaborative and reflective in nature. Together, we explore what may be happening beneath familiar difficulties, creating space for new understanding, emotional movement and change.
What is Transactional Analysis?
Transactional Analysis (TA) is a relational approach to psychotherapy that explores how early experiences, relationships and unconscious patterns can continue to shape present ways of thinking, feeling and relating.
TA considers how our unique life story emerges through past experiences, relationships and decisions, often outside of conscious awareness. Developing greater awareness of these patterns can support a different understanding of yourself, your relationships and the ways you respond to life experiences.
Through reflection and therapeutic exploration, TA can help deepen awareness of recurring relational patterns, emotional difficulties and internal conflicts, creating space for deeper understanding and change over time.
I work collaboratively, using TA to support reflection, awareness and change over time.
