I am a counsellor, supervisor and coach with extensive experience providing both long term and time-limited therapy in the NHS, charity sector, and private practice.
I am a BACP registered counsellor offering individual counselling for adults from an established shared practice in Chorlton, South Manchester. I also work online using Zoom.
I am a BACP Accredited therapist, with experience working for the NHS, in the voluntary sector and in private practice - supporting people who have experienced trauma including childhood abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, including working with PTSD.
I understand that life can be busy, so I offer appointments on a Saturday morning, making it easier for you to fit counselling into your schedule. I also offer affordable rates, so you don't have to worry about breaking the bank.
I am a compassionate therapist and provide a space where you can feel safe and accepted and can speak freely without fear of judgement. I have experience of providing counselling in the NHS and voluntary sector.
I am a neurodivergent counsellor who specialises in working with autistic and/or ADHD adults. Whether you are self-identified, officially diagnosed or just discovering the possibility of your neurodivergence, you are welcome to explore what this means to you now and how it has impacted your life so far.
I combine Person Centred counselling, which allows you to reflect and process what is going on for you, with CBT and coaching to help you develop strategies for positive change that you can use for the rest of your life.
Neurodivergent affirmative, Trauma-informed Clinical Counsellor & Supervisor
Whatever you are going through now, or have been experiencing I want to talk to you about what you want from our sessions.
I provide a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive environment that is client centred, which means that we work collaboratively in a way that works for you.
I bring to my practice a calm and genuine warmth and will listen to your feelings in a non-judgemental way. I'll respond to your needs with compassion, respect and empathy, and will use a holistic approach to help you work through your problem to better understand yourself.
Psychodynamic counselling can help us to look at our distress in a safe space with an other. Doing this with a counsellor allows us to have the distress held so that we can start to think about how things really are for us.
I am friendly and warm Psychotherapist, with over 16 years experience in the role. I provide a safe space where you can talk in confidence about difficult emotional issues.
I work with psychotherapy trainees and students, as well as with people seeking help for anxiety, depression, psychological aspects of living with chronic pain and with self-esteem or confidence difficulties.
I believe that challenges are inevitable over the course of a life, and it can be useful to seek support rather than suffer alone. Therapy is a unique opportunity for you to understand your relationship patterns and liberate yourself from behaviours that are no longer serving you. In my practice I will gently encourage you to bring your whole self into the room, even those parts that might feel messy, scared or confused.
The relationship you have with your counsellor is really important so take your time to find someone you get on with and trust. I’m my down-to-earth, calm and genuine self in the counselling room and encourage you to be yourself too. I work with adults, young people and children. Please get in touch for a free 20 minute phone consultation.
I use person-centred, transpersonal, psychodynamic and existential approaches according to the client’s needs. I enjoy working creatively, where appropriate, using visualisations, dream work, creative imagination, body work and art to access clients' inner wisdom.
