| My Background: | |||||
| I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years beginning in psychiatric hospitals and then moving in to community support. | |||||
| I trained for 4 years in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy and am presently in advanced training at the institute. | |||||
| I attend regular supervision in order to constantly improve my working practice and ensure that I am maintaining high ethical standards in order to protect my clients. | |||||
| My Philosophy: | |||||
| I endevour to live by the basic tenet of TA which is, I'm ok your ok. | |||||
| Basically this means that I believe in your value as a human being and I believe you have the ability to make your life as you wish it to be. In terms of a therapeutic relationship this means that we both share equal responsibility for the outcome. |
|||||
| In a sense the goal of all therapy is for the client to realize that they and the therapist are just two human beings. Neither are more or less valuable than the other.When we as human beings can respect, empathize and love ourselves. Only then, can we truly say that we are living our lives. |
