I believe that everyone has the right to expect
open, honest and genuine dialogue that encourages recognition of different thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I
respect individual uniqueness, whilst encouraging individuals to take responsibility for their own care, learning and development
within a safe, boundaried and structured environment.
My focus will be on the
emotional health and well-being of each client and their sense of being ok within the session. I provide
an impartial, non-judgmental and supportive environment in which I encourage individuals to grow through attaining
greater individual independence, intimacy and spontaneity. 
I use a humanistic approach, based on Transactional Analysis (TA), TA believes
that:-
- People are okay
- Everyone has the capacity to think
- People decide their own destiny and these decisions can be changed.
Transactional Analysis is a theory of personality and communication developed from ideas
originated by Eric Berne, MD., in America in the 1950s and '60s. Originally Eric Berne
trained in psychoanalysis, Berne wanted a theory which could be understood and available to everyone and began to develop
what came to be called Transactional Analysis (TA).
Transactional
Analysis is a social psychology and a method to improve communication. The theory outlines how we have developed and how we
treat ourselves; how we relate and communicate with others, and offers suggestions and interventions which will enable us
to change and grow.
