In my work with clients and for my own growth and development as a person, I use a psychotherapy modality called Transactional Analysis. It is a powerful theory of personality that helps us identify and change self-limiting ways of thinking, feeling and behaving, so we can move towards our fullest self. All of us have a 'script' that we developed in childhood, and unknowingly live by even as adults. This script manifests in how we interact with others, play, work, and talk to ourselves. Together we will understand these aspects of your personality in a safe, trusting and authentic therapeutic environment.

My training equips me to help you -

1. Safely identify your core issue (which may not be obvious)

2. Understand how your relationship with your parents affects your adult life.

3. Feel those feelings. (Yes, it is vital for change and healing)

4. Identify unhelpful patterns that are keeping you stuck and frustrated.

5. Develop greater awareness, and gain insight about who you are underneath the exterior you may have created.

6. Work with your inner child, to 'redecide' your life choices.

7. Build relationships that are honest and authentic.

Important aspects of my approach -

1. I use a trauma-focused approach that sees your symptoms as survival strategies that once served a purpose. In our work, I focus on Safety, Trust, Transparency, Choice, Collaboration and Empowerment.

2. I use a process oriented approach that explores how your unconscious manifests in our sessions.

3. In our sessions, we will also use our therapeutic relationship as a field of exploration to understand and hold your deeper needs and feelings which you may not have conscious awareness of.

4. I believe in every person's innate capacity to heal.

Continuous Professional Development -

1. I take my learning very seriously. I am constantly upskilling, and deepening my craft.

2. I am committed to regular supervision with a TSTA (P) and personal-therapy as an ethical practitioner of psychotherapy

As a psychotherapist, I am a member of the International Transactional Analysis Association (ITAA) and The South Asian Association of Transactional Analysts (SAATA). My practice is governed by the ethical principles of ITAA.
