About me
I am a warm, open, trauma-informed counsellor. My approach is informed by nearly twenty years of helping clients to make long-term changes in their lives. I work in a relational, holistic and creative way. I provide a non-judgmental space for you to explore your issues and to develop understanding and self-compassion. This in turn leads to the possibility of deep and lasting change.
My work is rooted in the person-centred approach. I have helped many clients overcome a variety of issues including: anxiety, attachment issues and trauma, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, work related issues, loneliness, stress, sexual violence, trauma, peri-natal issues and menopause.
My practice is neuro-affirming and I welcome clients from all backgrounds. I am an LGBTQ+ ally.
I completed EMDR training in 2019 and offer this within my practice, alongside other trauma interventions and resourcing. EMDR is a NICE approved therapy for trauma.
I worked at Manchester Rape Crisis for ten years. I also provide work place supervision in the third sector.
Therapy is a collaborative endeavour and finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is important. I offer a free initial call to find out if we might work well together; to help you live life more fully.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an accredited member of the BACP and a member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Union.
Qualifications include:
- EMDR Professional Certificate, 2019
- PG Diploma in Supervision, Temenos, Sheffield, 2013.

I worked at Manchester Rape Crisis with survivors of sexual violence for ten years and have a great deal of experience in working with trauma and supervising counsellors in this field.
I worked as a counselling tutor and group supervisor on the professional counselling degrees at Salford University for two years, giving me insights into the needs of trainee supervisees and clients.
I provide work based supervision in the voluntary sector to a range of professionals. I have been in private practice since 2016.
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.
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.

Additional information
I charge £65 per hour. I work from my home office in Whalley Range and the Manchester Gestalt centre in Fallowfield.
To find out if we can work together, I usually suggest a video call of 20- 30 minutes, free of charge, at time convenient to us both. This gives you an opportunity to tell me about the issues you are facing, for me to answer any questions you may have and to find out how we might work together. You can then decide to book in or take some time to think things through.
