About me
From the outside, it probably looks like you’ve got it all together. You’re managing the daily routine, showing up for everyone else, and keeping everything afloat.
But on the inside, it feels like you’re running on autopilot. You're exhausted, disconnected, and wondering where your spark went.
Maybe you keep finding yourself in draining relationship patterns where you give everything and get very little in return. It’s a frustrating cycle, and it’s heavy to carry. It is exhausting pretending to be strong when you secretly feel stuck or misunderstood.
When we're in this space, it’s easy to blame ourselves. But these patterns are rarely just about what’s happening today. Often, they go back to childhood. They’re old coping mechanisms you built long ago to survive, keep the peace, or make others happy. Your younger self did what they had to do to feel safe, but staying in survival mode means you don't actually get to live.
Recognising that these old ways of coping don’t work for your adult life anymore isn't a failure. It’s actually where real change starts.
Therapy with me won't involve sitting in awkward silence while you do all the heavy lifting. I don't do clinical judgment, and I don't believe in rigid, one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, our sessions will be an active, warm, and collaborative partnership.
Together, we’ll gently look at the root causes of what's holding you back. The goal isn’t just to passively talk about the past, but to help you reclaim your agency, set firm boundaries, and build a life that feels genuinely authentic to you.
Taking that first step can feel daunting, so I keep the process as low-pressure as possible.
Just click the 'email me' button to drop me a quick message. From there, we can set up a brief, free introduction over the phone or online. It’s just an informal chance to chat about what you're going through, answer your questions, and see if we’re a good fit. There's no obligation, just a confidential space to figure out your next steps.
I offer face-to-face counselling from a private room in St Ann’s Square, Manchester city centre, as well as online sessions across the UK.
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.
