I currently have some availability on weekdays and weekends. 

How can I help you?

The everyday issues of life can be overwhelming at times. This can result in depression, confusion, loss of self-esteem, anxiety, challenges in relationships, feelings of loneliness and fears about the future. If any of this sounds familiar, I can help you unpick the tangle of thoughts and emotions you are experiencing, support you to understand any underlying issues, and begin to develop tools to navigate a way forward.

What do I offer?

As a qualified Counsellor, I provide a warm and accepting environment for you to explore what is happening for you. You can safely share your thoughts and feelings knowing that I will listen with respect, and without judgment. As you gain a better understanding of your own emotional landscape, you can make changes if you wish – but often there’s freedom just in seeing things from a new perspective.

How I work

Clients say I quickly put them at ease and provide a sense of calm. I help them pinpoint what is most significant even in the most complex situations. I am friendly, down to earth and easy to talk to. I will adapt our sessions according to what is most helpful to you as an individual client, integrating a variety of scientifically backed approaches. These include Person-Centred Counselling, Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. But regardless of the theoretical approach, the most important thing is for me to listen and understand, as I support you to move towards your goals.

Issues I can help you with include:

• Stress and anxiety

• Depression, sadness and low mood

• Bereavement and loss

• Relationship issues

• Loneliness and isolation

• Self-esteem and identity

• Issues around faith and belief

• Transitions – new relationships, empty nest, retirement etc.

• Exploring new beginnings

• Positive aging and the second half of life

Holistic Wellbeing

Since emotional health often impacts physical wellbeing, you may find that our work together alleviates problems such as insomnia, migraines, eating and digestive issues, minor skin complaints or other emotionally driven disorders.

And if spirituality is important to you, I offer a safe and respectful space to explore the connections between faith and emotional well-being. Whatever your faith tradition, I honour your beliefs without imposing my own. We can work together to draw on your unique values and strengths as a resource for healing and growth.

Through my holistic approach, most people find they begin to move towards a healthier, more harmonious and satisfying life.

What to expect

Sessions are 50 minutes long, usually on a weekly basis although this may be structured to suit your needs. Appointments can be arranged to fit your schedule. Face to face sessions, some online or home appointments are available. I am based in Stockport and easy to find – close to the M60 and just a few minutes away from the town centre, with parking and public transport nearby.

Professional Status

I am a fully qualified and insured member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MÍø±¬ÃÅ). I am trained in a variety of theoretical approaches including Person Centred therapy, Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy so can tailor my approach to meet your specific needs.
