About me
I offer a non-pathologising, sensitive, and dignifying person-centred therapy service in central Manchester which facilitates your growth and healing.
During our confidential sessions together we will welcome all of who you are into the room without judgement - but instead with curiosity, recognition, and empathy - to understand the ways in which you emotionally process your lived experience.
Through identifying and exploring narratives that you tell yourself about yourself, and the world around you, we will unburden you from that which no longer serves your authentic self, supporting your ability to self-right and live in a way that is present and intentional.
I do not view you as someone who is broken and in need of fixing; instead I understand that you are simply responding to, and coping with, the circumstances of your life up until this point. You deserve to be listened to, to be respected, and to flourish. I am dedicated to providing you with the therapeutic space within which you can author a new chapter in your life - one in which you own yourself on a deeper level, and exist in a way which honours the fullness of your selfhood.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified person-centred psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Having worked within NHS Manchester Talking Therapies, and volunteered for various therapeutic listening services such as Samaritans, I have experience assisting a wide array of clients and presentations. My certificates include a PGDip in Counselling and Psychotherapy from The University of Salford, as well as an undergraduate qualification in Philosophy from The University of Durham.
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.
