Profile

I offer an integrated talking therapy service tailored to individual need. I am a qualified and experienced counselor, psychotherapist, and hypnotherapist. I am also able to converse in Punjabi and urdu, so enabling access for the wider community in the North west.

I undertake short, medium and long-term work with private individuals and couples, as well as time-limited counselling for organisations and health-provision agencies .

I am an Integrative counsellor, ie I blend different methods of counseling according to their needs.

It is possible to integrate counselling and hypnotherapy if the client wishes.

Online, email and telephone counselling available I work according to the individual client's needs. I also offer on line therapy as I appreciate that for various reasons, face to face counseling is not an option for some clients.

I have worked with the local PCT (Primary Care Trust), schools, and a local Mental Health organisation on a sessional basis.

Full disability access and facilities at my alternative town centre venue.

I work to the Codes of Ethics and Practice of GPTI and UKCP and within BACP's Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
