To have a positive and meaningful relationship with ourselves and others, to feel happy and content with who we are, is the goal of therapy. The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my practice. I use Transactional Analysis as a model of therapy to help my clients achieve the goals they want to achieve in their lives. I work at a relational level and use TA with both individual clients and couples during their therapy journey
