About me
I am a qualified Transactional Analysis (TA) Counsellor based near Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire. I’ve always been deeply curious about people—how their family systems, cultural backgrounds, and personal experiences shape who they are and how they relate to others. This lifelong interest eventually led me to discover Transactional Analysis, a powerful model for understanding human behaviour and communication. Inspired by its potential for positive change, I retrained as a TA Counsellor and now run my own private practice.
I work with both individuals and couples, supporting them through a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges. My counselling style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and change.
As someone with neurodiverse family members, I have both personal insight and professional understanding of the unique challenges neurodivergent individuals face in daily life. I know that each person’s experience is different, and I’m committed to offering an inclusive, supportive space for neurodivergent clients and those who support them.
Ways of Working
I work relationally, using Transactional Analysis (TA) to help people make sense of what’s happening in their lives—why certain patterns keep repeating, and what changes might lead to more satisfying outcomes. TA is one of the most accessible and practical forms of psychology, and I use it to support clients in developing greater self-awareness and understanding.
I truly believe that with insight into who we are today—shaped by our past experiences and relationships—we gain the ability to make different choices. That awareness opens the door to transformation, not only in how we feel, but also in how we relate to others.
A key part of my work involves psychoeducation—sharing TA concepts in a way that’s easy to understand and apply. I want clients to leave each session with something tangible: a deeper sense of well-being, and tools they can use to reinforce their learning and support real change in their everyday lives.
The counselling relationship is unique and deeply personal. To ensure we’re the right fit, I offer a free 20-minute introductory session, giving us both the chance to meet, explore what you’re looking for, and see how we might work together.
