Practitioner Directory

I am a psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer with a background in Transactional Analysis and Mentalization-Based approaches. My work is relational, reflective, and process-focused, with attention to how people make sense of themselves and others in the here-and-now. I work with adults and couples presenting with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and questions of identity, meaning, and belonging. I have particular experience working cross-culturally and with clients who feel ‘stuck’ despite considerable insight or previous therapy. As a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst (Psychotherapy), I also offer supervision and training. My clinical stance integrates contemporary TA with developmental and mentalizing perspectives, supporting both emotional depth and psychological flexibility. I practice with sensitivity to culture, migration, and lived context, and aim to create a therapeutic relationship that is thoughtful, collaborative, and emotionally safe.

I am a qualified psychotherapist in Transactional Analysis and have worked in this field for many years. I have also been a Lecturer and Tutor for the Open and Kingston Universities, so I am experienced with working with adult learners studying and changing career pathways. I taught child development and developmental psychology and this became integrated into my training in psychotherapy.

I am a relational transactional analyst counsellor. I use a combination of approaches and will adapt my style to suit your needs. Together, we focus on building self-awareness, confidence, and a stronger sense of who you are by joining the dots between yourself so you can make choices that feel more authentic and freeing in your day-to-day life. Therapy can feel daunting at first, so for those who are interested, I can use projective and creative techniques to help people bring their feelings and thoughts to life. One key approach employed is using Relational Transactional Analysis, which simply means I believe meaningful change happens through real, honest, and supportive relationships. Consequently, I endeavour to offer a warm and collaborative environment. My work is grounded in the present moment, but we also explore how past experiences and relationships may still influence how you feel, think, and relate to others today. Many of us develop patterns that once helped us cope but no longer serve us. By understanding where these patterns come from, we can begin to create new, healthier ways of relating to ourselves and those around us. I pay close attention to the impact of the social environment and the many layers that shape identity. Oppressive structures connected to race, gender, class, neurodiversity, and religion can create profound feelings of alienation and trauma. I offer Neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQI+-affirming therapy. We are all wired differently, and understanding our neurological and identity-based experiences can be deeply grounding. This can be especially valuable for those wanting to explore neurodiversity (ADHD/Autism ) diagnosis or Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity (GSRD).

I work relationally within an ecological framework. In my practice, I see clients with relationships, perinatal mental health related issues, figuring how to navigate an ADHD diagnosis, cross-cultural issues, identity (gender, religious, cultural, sexual). I am passionate about perinatal mental health, mindfulness, relationships, LGBTQIA+ mental health, grief, loss and bereavement and education.

Experienced psychotherapist working with adults wishing to recover from trauma, improve relationships with self and others and enrich their lives through learning and creativity. I like to work in groups or 1:1 (but not with couples)

I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist based in St Helier, Jersey. My work is rooted in Transactional Analysis and guided by values of authenticity, compassion, and human connection. I offer a warm, attuned space where clients can gently explore the layers of their experience and begin to reconnect with their own sense of vitality and wholeness. I work with adults navigating trauma, loss and bereavement, stress, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges. My approach integrates somatic and polyvagal-informed practices, mindfulness, and attachment-based theory within a deeply relational frame. I believe that meaningful change arises through presence, trust, and the courage to be met as we are, in both our pain and our potential. I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone. To support this, I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spaces for those who may find my standard rate difficult to afford.

I have a broad experience of with depression, bereavement, and a wide range of other issues. I have 28 years of experience working with anyone who want to improve the quality of their life, including their relationships with others. Having worked with a wide spectrum of issues and problems, I offer a non-judgemental, non-shaming space and explore why a persons life is the way it is, what they would like to change, and during this process a way forward most often emerges. I have also studied with the Institute of Group Analysis, and at The School of Infant Mental Health on their Parent Infant Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for three years. I have had 28 years of personal therapy.

My Passion and Identity As a psychotherapist, counsellor, supervisor, and trainer, I am passionate about emancipation and freedom. My practice is characterised by offering you a space—online, face-to-face, or outdoors—where you can discover your identity and regain a sense of autonomy and connectedness. I seek to support my clients in moving from a place of feeling perhaps lost and alienated to a position where they feel connected to themselves, others, and the ground upon which they walk. Many of us, after the lockdown following Covid at its worst, may feel disconnected or traumatised at some level by this experience. I seek to work with you to support you in reconnecting with your sense of self, connecting to others, and engaging with your life in the broadest sense, including a positive future. Depth of Experience I have been a psychotherapist for over twenty years now, and have a significant private practice in Horsforth, LS18, which was established in 2008. I not only offer therapy but also offer clinical supervision to other counsellors, psychotherapists and mental health practitioners. I am also Director of Training at TA Training Organisation, a master 's-level training programme for therapists. Location of the Practice - indoors, outdoors or online "The Horsforth Centre for Psychotherapy" is a specialist therapy building, opened in 2008, offering five finely appointed private counselling or training rooms, as well as refreshments and discreet toilets. The centre has around 10 practitioners working from it, all highly qualified and self-employed. We have a discreet waiting room, magazines and tea/coffee available on arrival. We have our own car park, or easy street parking is available on Low Lane, LS18, which is in Horsforth. I have many years of experience working online with clients via video, phone, and face-to-face. I also offer Eco-Therapy and experiences of working outdoors and in nature. Professional Background My initial training was as a counsellor, focusing on humanistic and person-centred ways of working. My training focused especially on the therapeutic relationship and how the interaction between the therapist and the client can be used to offer warmth, support, and deep clinical and psychological change. I went on to train as a psychotherapist and became a Certified Transactional Analyst. I am now a senior member of the Transactional Analysis (TA) community in the UK and have held roles such as a council member of UKATA, a chair of local and national conferences, and a recipient of a UKATA medal in 2018 for services to the UK TA community. I am now a trainer and supervisor and the Director of Training for the TA Training Organisation which is based in Leeds and trains psychotherapists in their career and development to qualification. I supervise many counsellors, psychotherapists, and mental health wellbeing practitioners. I have worked in the NHS for many years as a Senior Group Therapist, then as a CBT Therapist, and finally as a Tertiary Level Psychotherapist. I am very interested in mental health presentations. In the past, I worked in education and the corporate world as an account manager and then developed as a therapeutic and learning coach in the working world. My time now is spent working passionately as a psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer, as well as doing some professional writing for publication. People whom I work with I work with "people" not "problems" - so most of all I am interested in your individual humanity, in you as a person and especially your narrative or "story". What has happened in your life and what is going on right now that might be causing you distress? Together we will work on areas that interest you, as well as the meanings you are making in your life. That said, I am very familiar with working with different presentations of anxiety, depression, sexual identities, gender identities, problems and difficulties at work or with academic studies. I don't work with young children but I do work with adolescents, young adults and grown-ups. I am very interested in working with corporate and business people and supporting them through difficult corporate change processes. I offer warm, supportive counselling as well as focussed change work and psychotherapy.

I seek to offer a safe, supportive, non-judgemental space, in which to explore what may be standing in the way of you obtaining your most healthy and fulfilled self. My professional background has been in Social Care and mental health. I have worked alongside emergency services in these roles. I have worked as a psychotherapist for 25 years, and additionally trained as a psychotherapy supervisor. I have taught in a TA/ Integrative RTE, and examined both written and oral therapy candidates. Although Transactional Analysis is my main approach, I have additionally trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming; Motivational Interviewing; Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness; Family Therapy, Couples therapy, and Brief Therapy. Therefore, I draw on whatever aspects of these are most suitable for the client's presentation. I now work online as I find it a very efficient use of time for both clients and myself; and a medium capable of achieving both intimacy and intensity.
