Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist
I am a psychotherapist in advanced clinical training at Metanoia Institute, specialising in Relational Transactional Analysis (TA). I am a facilitator, storyteller, coach and where appropriate use Tabletop role-playing concepts in my work. I live with late diagnosed ADHD and am dyslexic.
I have been in the military as a medic and then as a paramedic in South Africa. I have owned and run a medical training business, immigrated to the UK and now live in London with a cat that is in charge of the household. I have some understanding about being
uprooted and adrift and finding home in the most unlikely places.
My pronouns are he/they and I am part of the LGBTQ+ community. These traits do not define me but they do inform how I see the world.
I use my lived experience in my work when appropriate as long as it is in service to your goals and where you want to go.

Recognise. Understand. Change.
Relational Transactional Analysis
My core therapeutic framework is Transactional Analysis (TA). Think of TA as a map for understanding ourselves and our interactions. We explore our internal "ego states" – the different parts of our
personality that influence how we think, feel, and behave.
We also examine "transactions" and how we communicate and relate to others,
especially in relationships. TA helps us identify the unconscious "scripts" (the life patterns or stories) that might keep us stuck. By understanding these patterns, we can work together to challenge limiting
beliefs, change what's not working
anymore, and actively rewrite our script
towards greater freedom and fulfilment.
TA provides a solid framework for assessing and analysing these unique issues.
I am a registered trainee member of UKCP adhere to their codes of ethical practice.
