About me
Take the First Step Towards a Brighter Future Today
Hello! I’m a Manchester-based counsellor with an MSc with distinction in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I’m here to support you. If you're facing daily stresses, significant life changes, relationship issues, or dealing with loss and bereavement, I offer a safe, confidential space where you can express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Let’s work together to help you navigate this challenging time.
Empathy is at the core of my approach. I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but I’m committed to creating a space where you feel truly heard and understood. Together, we can explore your experiences, fears, and hopes at a pace that suits you. My collaborative, personalized approach ensures that your journey toward well-being is tailored to your unique needs.
Start Seeing Positive Changes Now
Therapy is a powerful tool for transformation. Many clients begin to notice positive shifts within just 3-6 sessions. I use an NHS-approved assessment tool to track progress, ensuring that each session contributes to your overall well-being. My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling more confident, fulfilled, and ready to face life’s challenges head-on.
I offer both face-to-face sessions in central Manchester and remote sessions to fit your lifestyle. My therapy room is fully accessible, and I provide flexible scheduling options, including daytime and evening appointments, to accommodate your needs.
Get in Touch Today!
Don’t wait to take control of your well-being. Reach out via email or WhatsApp text message, and let’s discuss the best course of action for you. Whether you want to book a full assessment session or have a brief introductory call, I’m here to help.
Invest in Your Well-being
With transparent and fair pricing, my sessions range from £60-£80 depending on your budget. Pay per session with no hidden fees, ensuring you only invest in the therapy you need. We can discuss pricing and any concerns during our initial contact, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
If you’re drawn to my approach and believe I can help, don’t hesitate—send me an email today. Let’s start a conversation about how we can work together towards a more fulfilling future. Your journey towards healing and growth is just an email away. Many of my clients have described their experience as "life-changing"—yours could be next!

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
I offer kink aware counselling in Manchester city centre. I am LGBT and GSM affirmative and also welcome clients from the kink/BDSM and poly communities. I am affirming of sexual and gender minorities and alternative sexual lifestyles and practices such as polyamory, kink, swinging etc. If you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, polysexual, asexual, genderqueer, trans, kinky or other, I will not pathologise you or try to change who you are. I am a sex positive therapist and also sex worker positive, believing that all adult informed consensual expressions of sexuality are legitimate despite often not being accepted by mainstream society and policy.
I also have an interest in psychedelic integration and transpersonal psychology. I am very curious about people's transcendent and "peak" experiences and non-ordinary states of consciousness, which may be enhanced or initiated with the use of entheogens or other psychedelic substances (as well as through other means, such as meditation, or sometimes they are just "gifted"!). Although I do not condone the use of illegal drugs (and certainly do not/cannot provide any!), I am committed to sensible discussion and harm reduction - and if people have happened to use psychedelics or other drugs in countries where they are legal, or are planning to do so (for example attending a mushroom or ayahuasca retreat) I am willing and able through my own experience and knowledge to support and help people with such matters.
