The main models of therapy underpinning my work is Transactional Analysis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.

Transactional Analysis can help to explain how we become who we are and how this influences our thoughts, behaviours, relationships, and outlook for the future. Therapy provides an opportunity to analyse patterns of behaviour and communications, which can help to facilitate personal growth and change.

In my role as counsellor and therapist I have supported individuals and groups to deal with a range of issues including relationship difficulties, depression, loss and bereavement, grief, special educational needs and disability, parenting, self-harm, sexual abuse, low confidence and self-esteem, and life direction.

I have worked in a supportive capacity for many years helping adults and children in a variety of settings. My experience includes counselling and psychotherapy with adults and children in schools, and with children and young adults in residential care. As a qualified teacher I have taught in mainstream education and in specialist schools for children with additional needs, including complex learning difficulties.

In my work as a therapist and counsellor I adhere to the *British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics and receive supervision in accordance with *bacp guidelines. I am a registered member of the bacp (MBACP.)

In my free time I enjoy going to the theatre, spending time with my family and walking my dog.
