About me
Therapy is a powerful process that gives people the tools and confidence to transform their lives. As well as helping people with broader issues such as anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, self-esteem etc, I have a specialist interest in helping people understand and navigate relationship patterns and difficulties, and to find freedom from painful relational dynamics. So whether you’re feeling unhappy with a friendship or family bond, or struggling with an intimate or sexual relationship, with limerence or with sex, I have the experience to help.
But if you don't know what it is that is upsetting you, then that's ok too - just drop me a line and we can talk about what can be done to help.
I deeply respect all my clients, whether they find counselling terrifying, challenging, or a relief. The therapeutic work my clients undertake, and the courage they show in their willingness to explore difficult and painful experiences or emotions is both humbling and inspiring.
I particularly welcome individuals who identify as autistic or having ADHD, or are who exploring diverse relationship structures and identities, including consensual non-monogamy, polyamory and those within the LGBTQIA+, trans, kink or non-binary communities.
Life is challenging, and we all benefit from someone wholly on our side to help us navigate it. When we’re ready to face whatever is holding us back, talking to a good therapist can bring about transformative change.
I work from a large, comfortable consulting room in central Manchester. I work online too.
Fortnightly appointments welcome.
You can learn more about me and my approach on my podcast This Won’t Fix You (www.thiswontfixyou.com) or as a contributor to the Counselling Tutor Podcast.
I am also available to speak publicly about limerence and obsessive love. If you are looking for help in this area, you may be interested to know that I’m taking expressions of interest for a course I’ll be running in the new year, designed for those seeking relief from love that feels painful.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am an effective, experienced and ethical integrative therapist.
As an Accredited BACP therapist, I’ve undergone rigorous assessments that ensure high standards of practice, including skills, theoretical understanding and self-awareness.
I was trained at the University of Salford on the BACP-accredited Person-Centred PGDip in Counselling & Psychotherapy course; I also draw on aspects of TA (Transactional Analysis), psychodynamic theory and the IFS (Internal Family Systems) model.
I have a psychosexual qualification (accredited by the leading sex and relationships professional body, COSRT) after training with the Grove for a L5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy.
My couples training is with Juliet Grayson and is approved by the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP).

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.
