About me
I am a Psychotherapist working in Manchester City Centre and remotely throughout the UK. I offer both short and long-term therapy sessions and have experience working with a range of different issues, such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse. I have significant experience and am passionate about working with individuals within the neurodivergent community and LGBTQIA+ community.
It is my priority to create a safe, non-judgmental environment for my clients. My aim is to instil a sense of autonomy and facilitate self-exploration and greater understanding, in order to support you through your unique process of positive growth.
Being in a nurturing therapeutic relationship, experiencing genuineness and empathic understanding can help you explore and understand aspects of yourself and experiences that may feel difficult or confusing. This can often lead to you feeling more empowered and ready to make the changes that feel right for you to lead a more fulfilling, authentic life.
Acknowledging that there is an issue you would like to explore in therapy can be a very daunting process and I understand just how difficult finding the right therapist and approach for you can seem. Please feel free to contact me to discuss how we could work together.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
