Therapeutic Counselling
My Therapeutic Approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative. Research shows that the effectiveness of therapy is not determined by techniques or modalities alone, but by the quality of engagement and the therapeutic relationship. I create a space where you can be honest and feel safe and supported in your personal growth.
In our sessions, I offer insight, not answers, to help you see more clearly. Through reflection, we uncover parts of yourself that may be hidden or stuck, facilitating reconnection and conscious change. Every session is tailored to your needs, drawing from an integrative approach with an emphasis on Transactional Analysis (TA) and relational psychotherapy.
You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit. Counselling is a talking therapy aimed at relieving distress, resolving inner conflicts, and supporting meaningful change.
How I Work
I work relationally, meaning the connection between us is central to therapy. Patterns that appear in our interactions often mirror how you relate to others in your life. By building a supportive and genuine relationship, you can gain awareness, experiment with new ways of connecting, and better understand yourself.
I draw on a range of therapeutic practices to suit your individual needs, with a foundation in Transactional Analysis. TA helps us explore:
Messages learned growing up about yourself, others, and the world;
Roles you play in relationships;
Coping strategies developed to stay safe, and how they may now be limiting you;
Your life script and opportunities to rewrite it consciously.
We also explore your current needs in your relationships and emotional life, along with your sense of purpose.
Above all, I work in a way that is steady, respectful, and attuned to your needs. I provide guidance, challenge when it will help you grow, and maintain clear boundaries so that even the most complex or painful of struggles can be explored safely.
