Anjali Puri

I am a Certified Transactional Analyst with a BA(Hons) degree in Psychology and MSc. in Psychotherapy. Prior to training as a psychotherapist, I spent 25 years working as a researcher the area of human motivation and behaviour change. I have worked across several cultures and have a unique understanding of the stresses created by diverse cultural identities as well as the stresses of the modern workplace. I believe in the capacity of every person to live authentically and wholeheartedly and be true to who they are. In my therapeutic approach I draw primarily from Transactional Analysis, creating an open, transparent and supportive environment where we work in partnership towards agreed goals. I see psychotherapy as a process of finding and celebrating the unique spirit of every individual. In addition to individual and couple therapy, I run weekly groups that offer a powerful way of gaining insight into who we are in relationship with others. Group therapy is not a 'diluted' form of individual therapy - rather, it is a way of understanding ourselves through our impact on others and their impact on us. Groups teach us to be more authentic with ourselves and more honest and direct in all our relationships. I offer an initial free-of-charge conversation on zoom to explore what you are looking for in therapy, and to give us a chance to see if we feel comfortable with each other. Thereafter, we can agree on how we would like to work with each other, e.g. online or in person, individually or in groups, and weekly, fortnightly or other frequency of sessions.
