About me
Life can be difficult and challenging. Even more so when you're feeling anxious, stressed, lonely and misunderstood. When you're feeling alone, scared, exhausted and torn - I can be there for you and hear you. I can be by your side in a safe, comfortable place, where we can begin to make sense of what is going on, and strive towards making positive change.

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.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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 understand that starting counselling can feel like a big step, and it isn't always easy to know what to expect. My aim is to provide a calm, welcoming space where you can talk openly without fear of judgement.
I offer face-to-face counselling in Wigan, as well as online sessions if that feels more comfortable for you. I work pluralistically, which means I draw on different approaches and tailor our work to your individual needs rather than following one set way of working.
Every person is different, and I believe counselling should reflect that. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, self-esteem or simply need somewhere to untangle your thoughts, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you.
If you're unsure whether I'm the right counsellor for you, I offer a free 20-minute consultation. It's an opportunity to ask questions, talk about what you're looking for, and decide whether we'd be a good fit—without any pressure or obligation.
