Blythe Hunt

I studied Transactional Analysis (TA) psychotherapy but my own practice is integrative. 

TA was developed in the 1960s as an accessible form of psychoanalysis. TA emphasises autonomy, spontaneity and intimacy through the promotion of an understanding of self in relationship to others. 

I use trauma informed theory and methodology including Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) regulation and polyvagal theory in order to support the stabilisation of the physical symptoms of post-traumatic stress. 

I like to work relationally, which means looking at what the relationship between myself and the people I work with in therapy can tell us about patterns of relating and relationships outside of therapy. 

I am passionate about psychoeducation in order to demystify the process of psychotherapy and deconstruct the unhelpful and unnecessary power dynamics which often inform relationships in psychotherapy. 

As a neurodivergent therapist understanding and destigmatising my own and other's neurodivergence is central to my practice. 

I have experience working with: 

• Anxiety 

• Depression 

• Destructive anger 

• Low self-esteem 

• Panic attacks  

• Relationship difficulties 

• Shame  

• Low mood  

• Survivors of abuse 

• Trauma & traumatic memory 

• Substance use/addiction  

• Eating disorders 

• Neurodivergent and disabled people 

• Queer, trans and questioning people 

• Polyamorous people 

• Intersex people
