How I Can Help You
Life can feel overwhelming at times. Worries, anxiety and difficult emotions can leave you feeling stuck, unsure or disconnected from the person you want to be. My approach is warm, friendly and down to earth, offering a nurturing space where you can explore what’s troubling you, rebuild your confidence and develop practical strategies to help you move forward in a positive and fulfilling way.
Together, we will work in a trusting, non‑judgemental environment. I will listen with care, sensitivity and compassion as you make sense of your experiences and gain clearer self‑understanding. Drawing on both person‑centred and CBT therapies, I tailor each session to your individual needs so that your counselling experience supports you exactly where you are.
I offer face‑to‑face counselling in calm, comfortable and confidential surroundings in Rodney Street, Liverpool, and in Churchtown, Southport.
My Background and Experience
I am an experienced counsellor with a successful private practice, supporting individuals with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, anger management, bereavement and identity‑related issues.
I also have extensive experience in supporting couples who are facing challenges in their relationship, and I have significant expertise in mentoring and coaching professionals dealing with stress, burnout and workplace difficulties.
With a professional background in Health Education and Promotion, I have a strong interest in the connection between physical and mental wellbeing. I am passionate about helping clients explore how past trauma may still be affecting their emotional and physical wellbeing, so they can begin to build supportive strategies and move forward at a pace that feels right for them. This approach allows me to offer informed, up‑to‑date guidance that supports your health in a balanced, holistic way.
I have considerable experience working with a charity supporting young people and their families, helping them manage school pressures, social anxiety and challenges within family life.
In addition, I have spent over three years supporting autistic young people aged 16–19, helping them to build confidence, resilience and the skills needed to progress into higher education or employment.
What Is the Next Step?
Reaching out for help can feel daunting, but it is a brave and important first step. Sharing your concerns with a warm, supportive professional can ease the burden of difficult thoughts and emotions, helping you begin to create meaningful and lasting change.
I offer a free, no‑obligation thirty‑minute telephone consultation to help you decide whether working together feels right for you.

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.
