About me
About Me
You’re managing the daily routine, showing up for everyone else, and keeping things afloat. To the outside world, you’ve got it together. But underneath, you’re exhausted, running on empty, and feeling disconnected from yourself.
Maybe you keep finding yourself in one-sided dynamics, where you give everything and get very little back. Or maybe you're carrying the weight of painful childhood memories, past destructive relationships, and a constant pressure to make others happy.
When we feel like this, it’s easy to blame ourselves. But these patterns rarely start in the present. Often, they’re old survival strategies you developed in childhood or past difficult relationships just to keep the peace and stay safe. They protected you back then, but they aren't working for your life now. Recognising that isn't a failure; it’s where real change starts.
How We’ll Work Together
Therapy with me won't involve sitting in awkward silence while you do all the heavy lifting, nor will you get rigid, clinical judgment. Instead, our sessions are a warm, active, and down-to-earth partnership.
We’ll look at what’s holding you, helping you process past experiences, set firm boundaries, trust yourself again, and build a life that actually feels good to live.
I offer face-to-face sessions from a private room in St Ann’s Square, Manchester city centre, as well as online sessions across the UK.
Taking the First Step
Taking that first step can feel daunting, so I keep things as simple as possible:
- Drop me a message: Click the 'email me' button to reach out.
- Informal chat: We’ll set up a brief, free phone or online intro to chat about what's going on and see if we're a good fit.
- No pressure: There’s no obligation—just a confidential space to figure out your next steps.
You don't have to carry this by yourself.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
