Soothe The Soul Counselling Services
Sarah Ross Psychotherapeutic Counsellor
To me, counselling is an opportunity to truly know yourself. To learn how your past experiences have shaped your present. To recognise how your own patterns of behaviour have impacted your relationships. To see the roles you have both been assigned and that you have assigned yourself. It is an opportunity to choose a different path. Too often we can feel lost or stuck as we try and navigate the world. I believe that inside us, sometimes buried under the stories that have shaped us, we do know our truth, we know how to be well. But those stories can keep us trapped or hide the truth from us. Through the building of our therapeutic relationship we will work together to help you find your truth. I believe that two people are more powerful than one and that together we can find the answers you seek.

My Approach
Transactional Analysis
Transactional Analysis gives us a clear framework through which we can begin to understand ourselves. At its roots it is based on the idea that we all have three parts (Ego States) inside us:
-
Parent - Feelings, Behaviours and Thoughts we borrowed from parents and other prominent caretakers. Older siblings and teachers can be included here.
-
Adult - refers to the Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviours appropriate to the here and now.
-
Child - Thoughts Feelings and Behaviours that we developed as children and replay in the present.
Once we begin to understand when and why the different ego states respond. To see how those behaviours impact both ourselves and those around us, we can develop the skills we need to respond from Adult.
Beside the framework, TA also demonstrates the importance of our relationship. When we are both actively involved in the direction and outcomes of our interactions, we share responsibility for the therapeutic process. I believe it is this shared purpose that allows our work to flourish.
