There is likely a reason you chose to seek therapy at this time in your life. I have worked with a variety of areas in my life, so I invite you to contact me about your goals for therapy. If you any of the following sound familiar for you or grab your attention, you're welcome to contact me:
Do you often feel out of place, different, or drawn to the discussions of being neurodivergent? Are you awaiting a diagnosis of or are diagnosed ADHD/Autism, and want to explore the impact of these labels? These are specific areas I have a passion for and often work with a variety of people interested in these.
Deciding who to work with can be daunting, scary, and confusing to say the least. While there will be countless backgrounds to choose from, finding a personality you connect with is usually a safe start.
So hello from me (The gent above). I am a mix of being down to earth and serious depending on what the situation calls for. I offer my full range of life experiences to our work. Whether that is my training in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (also known as ''Transactional What?' if you're like me when I first approached talk therapies), 6 years experience in learning/residential/work experience support work, or being the one on a therapeutic journey.
Practical career roles, have provided me understanding no book could teach me, being directly present with young adults as they went through difficult experiences. After spending hours a day, needing to learn about a variety of individuals, all with different communication styles; behavioural, verbal, body language, sign language, specialised equipment, adapting how I communicated with them the more I learned about them, in order to build a strong relationship.
To offer a safe space to talk I believe means learning how you communicate. Not judging someone is only a small part of feeling safe. I aim to offer a space to learn about you, your needs/hopes, and goals. Using the relationship between us in therapy, to reflect on patterns, behaviours, experiences and how they can play out else where in your life.
If you want to understand more feel free to look at how I work or you are more than welcome to ask me any questions.
