My approach

I have specialised as a psychotherapist in Transactional Analysis which informs how I work and think. I also use other techniques such as dream analysis, mindfulness, and theories from other modalities in therapy to help clients understand themselves, their internal and external worlds, including relationships, better.

 

My approach is relational, which means that what emerges in the relationship between client and therapist is important to the therapeutic journey and outcome. 

​​

I am warm, empathic, approachable and non-judgemental. I work with each client as an individual and seek to understand each person as such and draw on my training, as well as my life experiences to support this. 

 

I will challenge where appropriate and believe in clients' capacity to change, grow and actualise their potential. At times this might feel uncomfortable / frustrating / worrying as clients begin to question the way they seem themselves or live their lives and start to make changes. 

​

I listen to each individual regarding the pace of the work and am responsive in my approach to support individual growth and understanding of self.

Testimonial:​

"Working with Pippa has been a life changing and affirming experience for me. During our sessions she held the space in a way that felt incredibly safe and sensitive when exploring and processing my childhood trauma, while being kind but challenging to help me build self-accountability when reflecting on my present life and burn out patterns. Most importantly for me, we worked together really creatively and intuitively. We worked with metaphors, dreams, characters and imagery in a way that felt very real and personal to how I make sense of the world. Pippa’s non-judgementalness and openness towards my inner world helped me connect with parts of myself I previously felt cut off from and begin to feel more whole and self-compassionate. As a result of our time working together I have made changes leading to my life feeling much more balanced, joyful and aligned with my values. I have gained a deeper connection to myself and a more conscious way of being that makes me feel excited about the future. Thank you Pippa!"
