About me
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, difficult relationships, past experiences, or simply feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward. Whatever has brought you here, reaching out for support can feel daunting, but you don't have to work through everything on your own.
I'm an experienced Counselling Psychologist, and I've been working in counselling and psychology since 2012. I offer a warm, compassionate and supportive approach, where you can talk openly about what's troubling you and feel listened to, understood and respected.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and work-related stress. All while offering a perspective that is neuroaffirming, an ally to the LGBT+ community and culturally sensitive.
My approach to therapy
I believe that therapy should be as individual as the person seeking it. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and what works well for one person may not be right for another.
I'm trained in a range of evidence-based psychological therapies and quite practical in the way that I approach therapy, focusing on models that teach skills and techniques or actively processing trauma. This includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), amongst others.
This means we can work together to find an approach that suits your needs, preferences and goals. Whether you're looking to understand yourself better, process difficult experiences, develop new ways of coping or make meaningful changes in your life, we'll work at a pace that feels manageable for you.
A welcoming space in Salford Quays
My practice is based in a modern, comfortable and accessible office in the heart of Salford Quays, with parking next door and MediaCity tram stop just a short walk away. It's hidden in a shared environment so no one will know why you're there as you'll blend in with other people who are there to see physiotherapists, solicitors, private GP's or advertising agencies.
Taking the first step
I understand that choosing a psychologist, particularly if this is your first experience of therapy, can feel like a big decision. Finding someone you feel comfortable with is important, and there is no pressure to have everything figured out before getting in touch.
If you're considering therapy, you're very welcome to contact me with any questions or to explore whether working together might be right for you.
