About me
Are you experiencing feelings of stress, low Self-esteem, anxiety or depression? Do you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts. Do you overthink everything? Are you suffering from feelings of panic and you’re not sure why? Have you been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD or have ongoing issues in the family which don't ever seem to get resolved? I can support you with these issues and we can unravel piece by piece all these thoughts and feelings that don’t seem to make any sense. It can be enormously helpful to talk things through with a professional person who is unconnected with your family and friends.
I provide a safe, confidential space where you can express yourself freely and process complex thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. I will work with you to understand your goals and support you as you move towards resolution, to help you to begin to make sense of your situation, and perhaps bring about change.
I am warm, empathetic and genuine. I'm a qualified therapeutic counsellor with over 15 years’ experience working with both adults and young people. I am a registered member of the BACP, working in accordance with its Ethical Framework. I am based in Hindley, near Wigan.
I offer daytime, evening and weekend appointments. I also offer online sessions.
I offer a free 15 minute consultation either on the phone, by email or online.
If you would just like a chat, with no obligation with any questions you may have then please get in touch.

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.
