About me

I am offering face to face appointments in Urmston (my office garden) and online sessions  (Zoom) for all types of therapy - indiviual or couples.

My aim for every client is that you move away from what you don’t want and towards what you do in the easiest and quickest way.

I have probably spent several thousand of hours now working with clients who have low mood and/or anxiety and can confidently say, irrespective of how long you may have had this for, you can change it if you have the seeds of an open mind and stick with the process of therapy.

I am also a very experienced couples therapist; I spend about half of my client time working with couples in many different situations to improve their relationship (communication and trust breakdowns, affairs etc).

Our initial session will be outcome focused to understand very specifically what's going on and what you want to change and then I tailor my approach to your unique needs, drawing from different models of psychotherapy where applicable. I will give you stuff to do in between sessions if I think it will get you to where you want to be faster.

My clients regularly feedback that they enjoy the process of learning about themselves and making long lasting changes that they perhaps didn’t think were possible in the beginning…there is a lot of laughing in my room which i know might be hard to imagine..the hardest thing is to make the first contact to get help and then we can work together to change what you want (it might be a lot easier that you think).

Please have a look at my google reviews which give a good overview of client's experiences and what to expect.

Additional information

Often clients will ask me "how many sessions will I/we need?"

There is no definite answer: some people need only a few sessions and others continue for many sessions over a period of months. We will review our work together every six weeks and it depends on when you feel you have achieved what you want from therapy that we agree and plan an appropriate ending.

All sessions are an hour in length.

Individual fee £70

Couples sessions fee £80

I offer appointments during the day and evenings. I can normally fit clients in within 7 days.
