About me
🟢 BACP Registered Member, qualified with a Master’s degree (BACP accredited)
🟢 Working with people from age 11+
🟢 Free 15-minute consultation, online or by phone
Welcome! I am a person-centred psychotherapist specializing in supporting professionals and young people (11+) with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, bereavement, stress, loneliness, social anxiety, health anxiety, and perfectionism. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to meet your unique needs, helping you navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.
Having spent over 20 years as a project manager and teacher, I deeply understand the pressures of high-stakes environments—tight deadlines, competing priorities, and the impact of stress on mental health. Now, I use this experience to help professionals manage workplace stress, overcome perfectionism, and build resilience for a healthier work-life balance.
Alongside this, I am passionate about supporting young people as they navigate academic pressures, social anxiety, low self-confidence, and emotional struggles. My work with young clients focuses on creating a safe, understanding space where they can express themselves freely and develop coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and self-doubt.
Flexible Therapy Options:
✔ Online sessions – Secure video sessions via Google Meet or Teams (UK-wide)
✔ Phone sessions – Accessible counselling from the comfort of your own space (UK-wide)
✔ In-person sessions – Held in a private, comfortable space in Greater Manchester
Fluent in English and Romanian, I am proud to provide culturally sensitive therapy that is inclusive and accessible to a diverse range of clients.
Take the first step toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Whether you're navigating workplace stress, anxiety, self-doubt, grief, or life transitions, or seeking support for your teen, I’m here to help.

Training, qualifications & experience
I hold the following qualifications:
MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Keele University, accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
BSc in Psychology with Counselling and Psychotherapy from Manchester Metropolitan University
In addition to my professional qualifications, I bring over two decades of experience as a teacher and project manager. This background equips me with a unique perspective on workplace stress and interpersonal challenges, which I incorporate into my work with clients.
My experience also includes placements working with adults, children, and young people across various modalities, including face-to-face, online, and telephone counselling. Additionally, my work as a peer support worker and lived experience forum coordinator at TOG Mind has deepened my understanding of mental health and the transformative power of therapy.
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.

Further information
I understand that taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, or maybe you've tried before unsuccessfully, but reaching out it’s a powerful act of self-care. Whether you’re a professional seeking balance in a fast-paced environment or a young person looking for support with life’s challenges, I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings.
I provide a safe, private, and welcoming space for therapy, tailored to meet your individual needs. My person-centred approach ensures that each session is guided by your goals, pace, and unique experiences, creating an environment where you feel heard, valued, and supported.
Premises:
My private practice room is located on the first floor. Please note that the room is only accessible by stairs, as there is no elevator in the building. However, there is parking available in front of the building for your convenience.
15-Minute Free Consultation:
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you. This is a chance for you to ask questions, discuss your needs, and understand how we might work together.
Your First Session and Payment:
The first session is an opportunity to discuss your goals and begin to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy and how I can best support you. Payment is required at the time of booking to confirm your appointment, and this can be made via bank transfer.
My services are client-led, meaning that your goals and pace guide the therapeutic process. Together, we’ll work toward building resilience, improving emotional well-being, and achieving meaningful change. I aim to make therapy flexible and accessible, offering tailored support that fits into your busy schedule and lifestyle.
Take the first step toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Whether you're navigating workplace stress, life challenges, or seeking support for your teen, I’m here to help. Contact me today to schedule your free 15-minute consultation and begin your journey to well-being.
