About me
Life has a way of throwing curveballs, sometimes small, sometimes the kind that knock the wind out of you. You might “just get on with it” for a while, but eventually it can feel too heavy to carry alone. That’s where therapy can help.
I’m Bianca, a qualified psychotherapist working with adults, young people, and children. Over the past five years, I’ve worked across charities, education, and private practice. Many of my clients come to me with anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating a pre- or post-neurodiversity diagnosis (ADHD and autism). These experiences often overlap and can ripple into self-esteem, identity, relationships, and the ability to manage change—sometimes leaving you feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
My approach is integrative, which means I draw on a combination of therapies to best support you. But at the heart of my work, I aim to be real, collaborative, and human. I bring compassion, curiosity, and sometimes humour into the room as we work together to untangle patterns, build strategies, and make sense of your experiences.
Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, other neurodiverse experiences, or working through trauma, low self-esteem, or just navigating life transitions, therapy offers to explore challenges, build strategies, and feel more grounded.
I offer an initial 15-minute consultation online or by phone. I’m based in South Manchester, where I offer in-person sessions, as well as online therapy which can make it a little easier to slot into life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained as a person-centred therapist, which means my starting point is always to listen and understand you. My style is flexible and integrative, drawing on elements of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, creative approaches, and trauma support. I believe therapy should be shaped around you, so I tailor my approach to what feels most helpful and supportive.
Experience
Alongside my private practice, I work as a therapist at a sixth form college in Manchester, supporting both students and staff as part of a whole-school wellbeing approach. I also see clients at The Rooms in Poynton. Before training as a therapist, I worked as an intervention practitioner with Early Break, a Manchester-based drug and alcohol charity, where I supported young people, adults, and families through some of life’s toughest challenges.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
