I offer individual sessions Monday to Friday. Please get in touch to enquire about current availability. I aim to reply within 48 hours.

I offer a free 20/30minute consultation face to face or online.

To give you a sense of how I work, I understand that life can sometimes be stressful, challenging and unfulfilling and this can deeply affect our emotional and physical well being, throwing us off balance, not knowing whats right for us. 

 At these times it's not always easy to talk to family and friends and being able to talk to someone who can listen can bring  great relief. 

I see people from all walks of life who, for various reasons, are struggling to enjoy their day to day existence. I offer a respectful and accepting space for you to say how things really are as well as looking at how you would like them to be.

As a Íø±¬ÃÅ Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist I have nearly 20 years experience working with a variety of issues and presentations in short term and long term open ended therapy.  

I initially trained in Transactional Analysis and Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling  (talking therapy). I am a qualified Mindfulness trainer and Clinical supervisor.  Aswell as having my own private practise I provide services for Universities, Mind and other large organisations.

I  offer a free of charge initial 20 minute consultation online or in person. It's an opportunity for us to meet and talk about what you might be bringing to therapy and if my theraputic style is right for you with no pressure to make an appointment.  

As an Integrative therapist I draw on a number of theraputic models with a humanistic and relational  approach, this provides a more holistic setting to help you feel more empowered and free to make the best decisions for you. 

I have a wealth of experience working with a wide range of client issues, to name some; relationship breakdown, setting boundaries, overworking to the point of burn out, loss and grief, low self esteem and procrastination.

In the first  50 minute session, its the only time I write anything during a session.  I take some details about you, your life, relationships and lifestyle questions  just to get us up and running.  I also have a brief working agreement that we can talk through and I will ask you to sign.  The next few sessions after that I want to know as much about you as possible, I find gathering information builds a firm foundation for our theraputic work together. 

I am currently offering sessions face to face or online supervision to trainees or qualified Counsellors and Therapists.

I have 20 years experience as a Transactional Analysis/Integrative qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist.  I have worked in many settings including the voluntary sector, charities and educational with groups,  individuals and couples.  I have successfully set up and run my own practice for that time. I have monthly clinical supervision and hold full liability insurance.

I work with individuals, groups and agencies in Manchester and currently work as a Supervisor with Mind Salford.

I enjoy supervision work and very much see it as an opportunity to learn aswell as share ideas and offer guidance.   I see supervision as a collaboration where we bring our own experiences of life and work to the sessions.  I will thoughtfully challenge to promote development in your practice with clients whilst offering practical support in running a clinical practice.

I offer a free 20 minute initial consultation where we can meet for an informal chat.
