About me
What do you want for your life?
What do you think is getting in the way of you having that?
I am an experienced Clinical Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and Counselling Supervisor, dedicated to helping adults navigate emotional pain and distress with compassion and respect.
I support adults, individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, relationship difficulties, compulsive behaviours, and attachment issues.
My practice is firmly rooted in anti-discriminatory and inclusive principles, offering a safe and non-judgmental space for people of all cultural backgrounds, faiths, sexualities, and abilities — including LGBTQ+ and non-binary individuals.
As a neurodivergent-affirming practitioner, I specialise in working with neurodivergent adults, whether formally diagnosed or self-identified.
My approach is relational and interactive — I work collaboratively with you to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and understanding. Together, we explore how your experiences have shaped your life, without judgment or assumption. You are supported to reconnect with your emotions and rediscover your strength, insight, and capacity for healing.
I offer both online and in-person sessions from my therapy rooms in Chorlton, South Manchester, and Manchester City Centre. A free 20-minute initial consultation (online or by phone) or a 30-minute in-person session is available.

About me:
I have an MA in Clinical Counselling from the University of Chester. I worked as a Counsellor in an NHS Talking Therapy Service for several years.
I have a private counselling practice, offering both online and in-person sessions. I work from my therapy room, which is based in Chorlton, South Manchester, and Manchester City Centre.
My background is in the Performing Arts; I lectured in Contemporary Dance for several years before training as a High School Teacher. Working through my own adverse childhood experiences and supporting students in a pastoral capacity has led to a fulfilling career in counselling and psychotherapy.
How I work:
My counselling service is personal to you, and we create a therapeutic relationship together. I listen with the aim of understanding how your experiences impact your life without making assumptions or trying to fit you into a formula. I am an interactive relational therapist; I will be in there with you without hindering your thoughts, processes, and insights. You will feel supported and held by me as your confident companion through the more painful aspects of the therapeutic process. I will be your ally as you connect with feelings you may have been avoiding or experiences you may have felt too difficult to explore or examine on your own.
I offer a free 20-minute initial discussion online or by phone, or a 30-minute in-person consultation from my therapy room in Manchester.

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.
