Paula Dishman
Transactional analysis psychotherapistAbout Me
There are times in most people's lives when we experience painful and difficult emotions or thoughts which seem difficult to change. My role in providing both psychotherapy and counselling is to help you make sense of what you are experiencing, to help you to develop the skills to know and accept yourself, and to make the changes that seem right for you.
I have over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, counsellor, supervisor and trainer and
I am registered with both the UKCP and BACP.
I offer psychotherapy, counselling and supervision in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment to both individuals and couples, working on either an open-ended or short term fixed time period.
I work from an integrative framework which means that I will adapt my approach to best suit your needs and will include elements of both CBT, Transactional Analysis, Relational TA, Psychodynamic and Mentalisation Based Therapy approaches.
