About me
I offer face-to-face, online, or telephone appointments for young adults, adults, and couples. I work from several comfortable consulting rooms across Stockport and Manchester.
I have five years, and over 1000 hours, worth of experience providing therapeutic counselling, psychotherapy, and training across the North West. I am a qualified and experienced therapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
My therapeutic approach draws on Transactional Analysis and Psychoanalytic principles; our work together would be active and collaborative. We’ll explore how you have come to understand your life experiences, paying particular attention to how your past may be influencing the ways in which you are currently living your life. Through this process, we can begin to make sense of your story and create space for meaningful awareness and change.
I have experience working with individuals aged 16 to 83, and I currently work with individuals, couples, and families on both a long and short-term basis. If you’d like to know more about how I work, my qualifications, or my past/present/additional roles, please visit my website.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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).
