Email meAbout me
NB: Covid-19 Update. I am only able to take on new clients online via zoom or over the telephone until further notice.
I offer face to face psychotherapy in Alsager.
I am an integrative therapist using a mixture of approaches depending on what you want from therapy and how you express emotion. The therapeutic relationship is separate from other aspects of your life and a place we can explore your thoughts and emotions together.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I adhere to the BACP's code of conduct and ethics. I am a fully insured counsellor.
My therapy room is in a central Alsager location and has disabled access. I can offer day and evening appointments in the week, and morning appointments on a Saturday. The first full session will be an assessment.
I am not able or qualified to provide court reports, assessments or diagnosis.
To book therapy or arrange an free initial thirty mintue consultation, e-mail, text or call.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an experienced therapist. I qualified in 2007 in Counselling Psychology. My areas of specialism include; attachment, sexuality, anxiety, complex trauma, and other emotional distress.
Before private practice I had five years experience in a charity for survivors of rape and sexual abuse providing therapy to men, women, non-binary and young people. To avoid conflict of interest I do not have the expertise to work with clients who have been charged with sexual offences.

Further information
I am integrative therapist and use tools from various approaches within a humanistic framework including; existentialism, CBT, attachment theory, narrative therapy, gestalt, trauma focused and other methodologies tailored to your process.
Therapy is not about diagnosing or labelling. Therapy is about what you want for your 'self'. It is very individual. It is hard work for you, my role is to be alongside you through that process. Because it is about you and your 'self' we move at your pace and in a way you feel comfortable with.
