You don't have to be in crisis to deserve support. Overwhelm is enough.
Exhaustion is enough. A quiet sense that something needs to change — that's enough.
Your experience is not less valid because it hasn't reached crisis point. You deserve support now.
Who This is For
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons — and very few arrive with a tidy presenting problem. More often, there's just a feeling. A weight. A pattern that keeps repeating. A life that looks fine from the outside and feels harder on the inside.
You might be:
-
Carrying more than you can hold — professionally, relationally, emotionally, psychologically
-
Navigating the complexity of multiple identities, cultures, or worlds
-
Living with the aftermath of trauma, loss, or experiences that still shape you
-
Struggling with chronic pain, illness, or the grief that comes with a body that doesn't behave as you'd like
-
Working through infertility, pregnancy loss, or reproductive grief
-
Somewhere on the edge of overwhelm — or past it
-
Simply ready to understand yourself better and keep growing
Whatever brings you here, you don't need to arrive with the right words.
We find those together.
What is Relational and Intersectional TA Psychotherapy?
Transactional Analysis is a humanistic, relational framework that asks one generous question: how did you learn to be you?
It understands that we develop patterns — ways of relating, surviving, protecting ourselves — that made complete sense at the time, and that we often carry long past the point where they serve us. TA gives us a language for these patterns, and a way to begin gently, curiously, revising them.
I practise as a trainee intersectional psychotherapist — which means I bring an explicitly social, cultural and political lens to this work. Your inner world doesn't exist in a vacuum.
Early attachment, parenting, racialised identity, gender, class, disability, sexuality, culture — these shape how you experience yourself, and how the world has experienced you. We don't leave that at the door.
My training is grounded in the relational and intersectional tradition of TA developed through IARTA and TA East London Institute, which understands therapy as a co-creative process between two whole people.
What to expect in our sessions
Our Therapy Work Together
01
Session time
02
How we begin
Sessions are 50 minutes (or 90 minutes where this better suits your needs), held online via a secure video platform.
Before we begin, we will talk through and exchange a contract and risk assessment that helps me work with you safely and ethically.
There is no agenda you have to meet. No checklist to work through. We begin where you are — in your body, in whatever you brought with you that day.
03
First session
04
The work of therapy
Our first session will focus on getting to know each other, establishing our working agreement, and beginning to understand what you'd like to explore. We check in on how the work is feeling at regular intervals.
Over time, we might work together to:
-
Explore the patterns in your relationships and how they began
-
Work with what you feel in your body, not just what you think in your mind
-
Make sense of experiences that have never quite had a frame
-
Begin to separate what was done to you from what you came to believe about you
-
Find language for things that have lived wordlessly for a long time

Deep work in relationship
Therapy is not a quick fix. It is a relationship — and like all meaningful relationships, it takes time to build safety and deepen.
From inquiry to psychoeducation and exploring the kind of change you want for yourself - we explore together.
We work out courageously where we need to sit with the shadows, amplify your light, and curiously find things that work for you - all at your pace, never avoiding exploring the edges of discomfort.
Most of my clients work with me for at least several months. Some much longer. We review regularly and the pace is always yours. We heal in relationship.

Assess alignment - can we work together?
I work with adults (18+), individuals only at this time, online across the UK and internationally (except USA and Canada).
Sessions are offered in English.
I am an anti-racist, intersectional, multicultural, poly- and ENM-affirming, trans-, LGBTQIA+ and non-binary-affirming, disability-inclusive and neurodivergent-affirming practitioner. All are genuinely welcome here.
The First Step
The first step is a free 30-minute consultation — informal, unhurried, and without any obligation.
It's a chance for us to meet. For you to ask anything you need to. For us both to sense whether we might work well together.
You don't have to decide anything in that call. You just have to show up. All the decisions, choice and pace are yours.
