I offer Transactional
Analysis psychotherapy
I work at relational depth to help people
with long-standing difficulties using Transactional Analysis
theory to understand what is happening in the relationship and
to guide my interventions.
You may have heard the expressions ‘games
people play’ or ‘I’m
OK, you’re OK’ or of the ‘Parent,
Adult Child’ model.
These are the most widely known TA concepts.
In this model, difficulties in the present
are seen to result from decisions made
in the past to cope with difficult experiences.
These coping strategies are no longer helpful
in the ‘here-and-now’ and new
decisions need to be made which will be more supportive
in the ‘here-and-now’.
