Psychotherapy & Counselling

About my approach

Transactional analysis

Transactional Analysis (TA) was introduced by Eric Berne in the early 1960s as a way of examining communication. He concluded that the human personality was made up of three “ego states”, Parent, Adult, and Child. Each ego state is a system of thoughts; feelings and behaviors from which we interact with one another and the interaction between them forms the basis of TA theory.

Using this technique helps me to recognize how and why a client has arrived at their present state of mind, shaped by their experiences, especially those from their childhood. This helps shed light and understanding upon problematic feelings and habits, which can then be changed to achieve better outcomes. Through TA psychotherapy, I will help you find ways to solve your current problems with useful everyday tools, which can be used to find future solutions so that you can maintain independent control over your life in the future.
