I am a UKATA registered Certified Transactional Analyst, Provisional Supervising and Teaching Transactional Analyst and UKCP registered humanistic psychotherapist based in Skipton. It was whilst working as a social worker in the field of mental health that I first developed my interest in working with individual psychology. Twenty years later I remain passionate about understanding what makes us tick and how creatively we manage the vicissitudes of life. Although I am trained in Transactional Analysis, I have a particular interest in the developing field of intersubjective systems theory and its impact on relationship based psychotherapy. This blend of training — cognitive, ‘practical’ psychology alongside the intersubjective and relational — means that I am able to draw on quite different skills and knowledge sets in order to work with differing presentations, issues and processes.
We instinctively know that talking helps. Friends, relatives and partners can all do their bit. But sometimes — just sometimes — we need to talk with someone who is trained to help us move forward.
