About me

I am an accredited UKCP Integrative Family Therapist (no. 05157031). I am qualified and have long term experience of working with individuals, couples, young people, families, and organisations to provide family therapy, counselling, psychotherapy, consultation, and supervision. Within my integrative practise I am qualified to use a blend of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focussed and Brief Solution Focussed Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic therapy and Family therapy.

I can provide assessment and therapy for young people and detailed reports for courts or local authority to support that process.

I can also offer coaching, mentoring, assessment, training and organisational consulting. I provide a secure and calm environment where all UKCP and AFT professional and ethical standards are fully maintained.

I am close to bus routes, and can offer parking, partial wheelchair access and downstairs toilet facilities. I am accessible from Manchester, Merseyside, North Wales and the Wirral.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Doctorate in Counselling from Manchester University, and an MSc in Counselling Psychology  from the Houston Galveston Training Institute which is allied to Our Lady of the Lake University, USA which qualifies me as a Family Therapist. I hold a Post Graduate Advanced Certificate in Person Centred Counselling, and my education qualifications are a Certificate in Education and a Post Graduate Advanced Diploma in Education.

I have experience of providing therapy to support many family and life problems,  depression, anxiety, mental health issues, eating disorders, Children in Care, foster carers and individuals in the film and image business. I can also provide systemic and organisational consulting.  I have extensive experience of providing assessment and therapy for children and young people.

As an integrative Family Therapist, I am trained to work in any of the major therapy disciplines such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focussed, Psychodynamic, Narrative and Family Therapy and can tailor work collaboratively to honour your perspective and suit your needs.

My primary aim is to be supportive and non-judgemental to offer a professional therapeutic relationship where children, young people, families and individuals can feel relaxed, listened to, and secure. Through counselling individuals can come to see that there are other options and perspectives available to them to support their well being and the lessening of emotional pain. 

My employment experience includes working as:-

  • a VL lecturer at the University of Chester to teach counselling skills to undergraduates and the Introduction to Counselling course.
  • a  lecturer/facilitator to train counsellors at Introductory, Intermediate and Diploma level
  • a Family Therapist at a psychiatric crisis intervention hospital
  • a Family Therapist supporting Children in Care and their foster carers liaising with multi-systemic associated agencies to provide assessment and therapy. 
  • a therapist for young people and their parents/carers at Action For Children
  • a VL lecturer at Manchester University to provide Masters level and Phd students with an understanding of Systemic and Family Therapy.
  • a textile, image and art consultant
  • an occupational therapy aide in a psychiatric hospital.
  • a Children's and Young Person's Therapist in a Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Service.
  • a Family Therapist within an in patient adolescent eating disorders service. 

I have extensive experience of working within multi-disciplinary teams and systems to include the local authority, courts, psychological, psychiatric and education service.
