Transactional Analysis (TA) is a form of psychotherapy rooted in equality, accessibility and our capacity for growth and change. It provides a framework for understanding what you bring to therapy, while allowing me to adapt how I work to you and your individual needs.
Through TA, I explore how earlier experiences and relationships can shape patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving and relating that continue into adult life. A somatic TA lens also helps us notice how these patterns are experienced in the body in the here and now, giving us different ways to understand and work with them.
At its heart, TA is about understanding ourselves more fully, developing greater awareness and choice, and changing old patterns that may limit how we live and relate to ourselves and others.
I am also able to offer CBT to clients. CBT aims to improve mental health by challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, improving emotional regulation and developing personal coping strategies.
"I nursed my terminally ill partner of 32 years under unimaginable stress combining that with coping with the Covid pandemic and three teenage children. Mark faithfully spent the necessary time listening to me as my life turned upside down. He has also faithfully spent the necessary time listening to me as I’ve rebuilt myself and my life, slowly but very surely. Mark is highly professional yet empathetic, unassuming and supportive. He has an impressive attention to detail, is punctual, and is a superb communicator. He is a very good listener. Mark rarely gives solutions but always talks strategies."
