ITA  -  Institute of Transactional Analysis

I have been working in Dumfries and Galloway since 1993 amd was fully professionally accredited with UKCP in 1998. My main training is as a Transactional Analyst and I have other training in Person Centred, Gestalt and Psychodrama modes. I also use some NLP techniques. Transactional Analysis is an integrative mode of therapy comprising cognitive, behavioural, relational and psychodynamic strands.

I have experience working with issues including relationships, anxiety and low mood, stress, bereavement and loss, personal development, trauma, addiction, low self esteem, psycho-somatic complaints, early developmental issues and family difficulties.

A first session is 1.5 hours. For the first half hour, for which I do not charge, we discuss the problem and get to know each other a little. If after this time we think it is appropriate to work together, we have a session straight away, and for which I do charge.
