About me
If life is difficult and you’re looking for a safe and welcoming space to talk about your difficulties, you’ve come to the right place.
I practice Person-Centred Counselling, which means that I offer you a safe space where we can explore your feelings and whatever you’ve got going on at this point in your life. This is a non-directive approach, which means that you have the autonomy to decide what we discuss in our sessions; and I will be by your side to support you, in an empathic, non-judgemental way. I believe that people have their own internal resources to control their own life, yet at times, life can feel unmanageable, and people need support to feel empowered and feel better about themselves.
I offer in-person counselling in M6, Salford, as well as online or telephone counselling; whatever you feel will work best for you – you are at the heart of everything I do. I deliver both short-term and long-term counselling support.

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
As everybody is unique, I offer a free 30-minute consultation, for you to decide whether person-centred counselling is the right approach for you. It will also give us the time to discuss your needs and for you to ask any questions about how I work and the service I provide. I will collect some relevant details about you.
