About me
I specialise in helping adults overcome anxiety and low self esteem so that you feel secure in your romantic and platonic relationships, calm and confident at work, stop worrying what people think and free from negative overthinking.
For example:
Do you worry what everyone thinks and analyse social interactions so that you feel anxious or low?
Do you compare yourself to others, beat yourself up and never feel good enough?
Does overthinking and insecurity effect your friendships and/or romantic relationships but you don't know how to stop?
Maybe you can't say no to friends, family or colleagues but people pleasing makes you feel stressed and resentful?
Do you struggle to switch off after work or feel overwhelmed due to fear of making mistakes and being bad at your job?
When we worry what people think, fear rejection, criticise and compare ourselves to others it can create anxiety and stop us from living the life we want.
Often this is due to childhood experiences that we need to work on with professional help. Or sometimes we have no idea why, but anxiety has crept up on us so that we don't recognise ourselves anymore and we feel powerless to stop it.
If this sounds like you we can work together on:
*Self esteem and confidence
*Friendship Anxiety
*People pleasing
*Perfectionism
*Self criticism
*Social Anxiety
*High Functioning Anxiety
*Feeling not good enough
*Work stress and burnout prevention
*Sleep problems
*Imposter syndrome
*low mood.
*Feelings of anxiety and panic
*Relationship problems
*Alcohol use
*Excessive worry
*Feeling guilty or ashamed
*Stressful childhood experiences
You will always be offered a supportive space to share but also practical, evidence based tools designed to improve self esteem, anxiety and stress beyond our sessions.
I work face to face in from my counselling room in central Glossop or can offer online if you live in Manchester or elsewhere.
About me
I am an integrative therapist and mindful self compassion teacher. I am passionate about helping people feel good about themselves because I know how debilitating it can be not to.
I know how that nagging sense of not being good enough and living with a constant need for approval feels. In the past I have been so worried about what other people thought that its held me back from living the life I want and created stress & anxiety in my work and personal life.
When I discovered techniques that helped me reduce anxiety, accept myself, be comfortable in my own skin and meet my own needs it inspired me to train as a therapist and so that I can share these techniques with others.
When working with me you will always be offered a safe space to share so that you can work through things yourself including difficult events from the past if thats helpful. But I will also teach you proven, practical tools to help you move forward and feel better about yourself for life.
I work face to face in Glossop or can offer online if you live in Manchester or elsewhere.

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.
