Diana Pringle
Counsellor in Primary Care
Qualifications:
I work with TA as my primary theoretical model, as well as using ideas from Gestalt, and short term solution focused therapy. I have a particular interest in analysing and understanding communication and transference in relationships using the key concepts from Eric Berne and other TA writers, to enable clients develop a healthy balanced response to stress. Clients are self referred, and are actively engaged in defining the outcome of their therapy. They value a counselling service based in the familiar surroundings of their GP surgery, and I believe this attachment to a secure base is a significant factor in achieving healthy change. I also co-facilitate the "Women's Transition Group" at Chaddeslode House, am a member of the Staff Counselling Team, and take referrals for individuals who wish to do long term work with a TA therapist. Other interests include working with dreams, working with groups, creative use of storytelling and other active, non-verbal approaches.
