About me
I am an accredited counsellor based in Bolton, with over 12 years’ experience working in private practice as well as within the voluntary and community sector. During this time, I have supported individuals with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, family difficulties, ADHD, low self-esteem, depression, relationship challenges, grief (including bereavement following suicide), infertility-related loss, burnout, and stress—among many others.
I am passionate about helping people navigate their difficulties, discover new perspectives, and reconnect with their strengths and sense of self. I offer both short-term and long-term support, depending on your individual needs and what feels right for you.
I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable space where you can speak openly and honestly without fear of judgement. This is your time - an opportunity to focus on yourself, to release what has been weighing on you, and to find greater clarity, understanding, and peace.
Initial Consultations
Choosing the right therapist is incredibly important, as it’s essential that you feel comfortable and that we are a good fit. To support this, I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute telephone or online consultation. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each other and for you to decide whether you would like to work with me.
If you are unsure whether therapy is right for you, I am always happy to talk this through and answer any questions you may have.
I offer flexibility in how often we meet. Some clients prefer weekly sessions, others fortnightly, and some choose to check in monthly. We can work together to find a schedule that suits both your availability and financial circumstances.
I attend regular supervision and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working in accordance with their ethical framework.

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.

Further information
I am based in Greater Manchester, however I am available for remote sessions throughout the UK
** Please note - I am currently only offering remote sessions - either through Zoom or telephone call. I will hopefully have face to face sessions available very soon
I predominantly work in a person centered way - meaning we work together on the issues you want to bring each week, free of judgment. I try to come into your world and see it through your eyes and from your perspective. Much of the work is guided by you, there is no pressure to go anywhere you are not comfortable with
I also like to bring in other techniques such as CBT as and when it appropriate for the client and their needs
