Transactional Analysis
We can create a space where you can freely explore everything that is happening for you - stressful memories, day to day worries, and reflections on your life so far
By looking at what's happening here and now, we can connect with your feelings, patterns and unresolved issues in a grounded way
By understanding the experiences you had during your childhood, we can understand more about how you were taught to see yourself, your sense of fear, love and safety.
By recognising the roles you take in relationships, we can examine what works for you and what doesn't. In choosing differently, you can explore being your authentic self

Relationships in the Workplace
In today’s fast‑paced corporate environments, relationships often sit beneath layers of strategy, targets, and technical language. When those relationships weaken, the impact is felt quickly. Communications become strained, motivation drops, and staff begin to disengage.
With over 40 years of experience across complex organisational settings, I understand how easy it is for people to feel overwhelmed or disconnected at work. Leaders can feel pressured, teams can lose clarity, and individuals may struggle to feel valued or heard.
I support organisations to grow and thrive. My approach is collaborative, and grounded in practical therapeutic principles drawing gently on theoretical models to help cultures understand communication patterns, emotional responses, and subtle dynamics that influence behaviours.
Through reflective conversation and relational insight, I can help you to:
-
Improve communication and reduce conflict
-
Strengthen trust and psychological safety
-
Reconnect with purpose, motivation, and clarity
-
Build healthier, more resilient workplace cultures
When relationships are strengthened, organisations become more engaged, more productive, and more human where everyone benefits.
