About Anne
I am a UKCP psychotherapist and chose to train in Transactional Analysis (TA) because its philosophy resonated with me - that everyone is OK, we all have the capacity to change, and we all decide our own destiny and these decisions can be changed. Prior to training in TA I had a varied career and work history behind me; seamstress, retail security management and investigation as well as hospitality work.
​
Regardless of the messages you received through childhood, relationships or society about how you 'should' be, there is no judgement here. Finding the right therapist is important, someone you feel you can connect to and be comfortable with. I offer an initial free assessment so you can discover whether you connect with me as your therapist.
​
I work with adults, talking through emotional problems, mental health issues or a desire for change in your life. I believe the therapeutic relationship is instrumental to affecting change. This means we work together to identify your strengths and areas for growth to enable you to build resilience to bring about change.

Transactional Analysis
Originally developed by Eric Berne, Transactional Analysis, a theory of personality and systemic psychotherapy for personal change and personal growth. It is an extremely effective mode of psychotherapy that offers a theory of child development and includes the concept of life script which explains how our present life pattern originated in childhood.
