About Anne

​

I am a UKCP psychotherapist and chose to train in Transactional Analysis (TA) because its philosophy resonated with me - that everyone is OK, we all have the capacity to change, and we all decide our own destiny and these decisions can be changed. Prior to training in TA I had a varied career and work history behind me; seamstress, retail security management and investigation as well as hospitality work.

​

Regardless of the messages you received through childhood, relationships or society about how you 'should' be, there is no judgement here. Finding the right therapist is important, someone you feel you can connect to and be comfortable with. I offer an initial free assessment so you can discover whether you connect with me as your therapist.

​

I work with adults who may be experiencing emotional difficulties, mental health concerns or a desire to make changes in their lives. I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship is central to bringing about meaningful change. Working collaboratively, we can explore what is troubling you, develop a greater understanding of yourself and your experiences, and recognise your strengths and possibilities for growth.

​

I find it rewarding to work alongside people as they develop a greater understanding of themselves, their experiences and relationships. I have a particular interest in how trauma, both in childhood and adulthood, can shape our sense of self, identity and the way we relate to others. I value helping people make sense of these experiences, recognise patterns that may no longer serve them and discover new possibilities for relating to themselves and others.

Transactional Analysis

Transactional-Analysis-scaled.jpg

Originally developed by Eric Berne, Transactional Analysis, a theory of personality and systemic psychotherapy for personal change and personal growth. It is an extremely effective mode of psychotherapy that offers a theory of child development and includes the concept of life script which explains how our present life pattern originated in childhood.
