I am a therapist with over 20 years experience trained in the Transactional Analysis model of psychotherapy. I believe that therapy is a journey into the unknown. We will take this journey one small step at time. We will take each step together as fellow travellers in a safe and nurturing therapeutic relationship. What is the ultimate goal of our journey ? It is greater Self-Awareness. That is having a clear perception of your personality, including strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, beliefs, motivation, and emotions. Self-Awareness allows you to understand other people, how they perceive you, your attitude and your responses to them in the moment. Along the way I will encouraging you to grow into that authentic person you long to be. That self-empowered person who will create a new future based on healthy choices which make for a happy life. I will help you to discover what is your passion and purpose in life. So what keeps you from taking that first step of self- discovery?
