About me

I am currently offering sessions face to face, in person or via Zoom. These are confidential and secure, please see the pricing section below for up to date prices. 

Working from two private practices in Lymm, Cheshire, and Douglas, Isle of Man. I offer a 30 minute consultation which enables you to see if I'm the right therapist for you. I'm an experienced Psychotherapist qualified to Level 7 (Masters degree) a BACP registered and NCPS accredited Couples Psychotherapist Counsellor. I have a Masters in counselling, relationship therapy. I work with a variety of problems such as Anger Management, Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Issues,  Aspergers, Transgendered issues or Affairs, Couples Counselling, ADHD and young people.

I am ideally situated for Warrington, Altrincham, Hale, Bowden, Lymm in Cheshire and I have recently established a private practice in Douglas, on the Isle of Man.

I work as an integrative Psychotherapist and have worked therapeutically with individuals, couples and young adults for over 14 years in private practice and I have also worked at Relate Manchester. I also provide clinical supervision to counsellors, psychotherapists and coaches. 

Qualified to Level 7 as a Psychotherapist, with a Masters Degree in Psychotherapy, Counselling & Relationship Therapy, my focus is understanding the key issues, getting results and working to find the best solution for my clients. Clients have previously said that they choose me because whilst I have a friendly and supportive nature I understood them and their needs straight away and worked with them to quickly resolve their issues for the better.

As a specialist expert in Anger Management I offer a specific and unique course of face to face or SKYPE sessions where we work together to fully understand your anger and how it manifests itself, I use a range of therapies to uncover the root of your anger and the impact it has upon your life, then we work to manage your anger in a more healthy way, learning new coping strategies that you can use on a daily basis. For pricing of the course please see below.

I also work with relationship issues such as communication problems, conflict, affairs, divorce and separation, post natal depression, loss of intimacy, trauma and I work with same sex relationships and transgender.
 
Furthermore I work with individuals who may be suffering with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, post traumatic stress disorder, aspergers, LGBT issues, break up of a relationship, menopause difficulties, suicide and self harm.

My Cheshire private practice is based in the beautiful countryside of Lymm where ample parking is available, for my Isle of Man clients I am currently available for appointments online (zoom) only due to practice modernisation. I like to ensure my practices have light and peaceful rooms which enable you to feel relaxed and welcome. Offering a great place where you can think and explore your problems in a tranquil setting to gain clarity and insight.

My clients value the anonymity and confidentiality of my practice, I follow the BACP code of ethics and am constantly updating my skills and qualifications with regular CPD training days

Further information

Choosing a counsellor who is right for you can be quite confusing, especially at a time when you need to make the right decisions for you, a time when you may be feeling overwhelmed by having to even make decisions.

To help you choose a counsellor consider the points below:

1.    Ensure the counsellor is qualified. This is very important as any one can set themselves up as a counsellor, the right qualifications sets the true counsellor and psychotherapists apart. Counsellors should at least be qualified to Diploma level as a minimum standard and do ensure that they are trained in the areas they say they are experienced in working with, for example if a Counsellor works with couples in therapy ensure they are qualified to do so as there is a different dynamic in the counselling when there is more than one person in the room.

2.   Check the counsellor is part of a regulatory body. Most counsellors join a membership organisation where they work to their ethical standards. I'm a member of  the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBACP).

3.    Do they offer a free or discounted 20 minute session? Not all counsellors will do this and that is ok, however I feel that providing this service enables you to meet the counsellor to ensure you feel comfortable with sharing your thoughts, issues and fears with them. It also allows to check out their insurance details, certificates of qualifications they hold and that they have been CRB checked.

I hope my 3 tips help you in choosing the right counsellor and if you have any questions just give a call/email.
