About me
Covid-19 update 01/08/20. I have now returned to my offices and am back to seeing clients face to face. There are procedures in place to observe the ongoing government advice. As always, non face to face options are available for those not yet comfortable attending at the office.
I have many years experience working in the caring professions, I completed a post graduate diploma in Social Work and spent time working with the elderly and disabled.
In recent years I decided to train in psychotherapy after experiencing the benefits of this process for myself. As I have been through therapy myself, I know how difficult it can be to begin this process, but have also experienced the great benefits. I like to work using our relationship, and do this in a warm and empathic way. I believe that the therapist and client come together as a team to work through issues that may stand in the way of you reaching your potential. Through the training, I have mainly used Transactional Analysis, but also have some experience working in a solution-focussed way and like to work integratively as each person is an individual who may like to work in a different way.
As a therapist I offer one-to-one confidential counselling and psychotherapy. I offer this face to face at my office in Chorlton, and also via voice call or online video call. I am experienced in working with clients who are struggling with:
- Depression
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Low self-esteem
- Relationship issues
- Childhood issues
- Stress in the workplace

I have trained at the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy for 4 years, completing 480 training hours. I am also a member of the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy, where I have regular supervision with a Certified Transactional Analyst.

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.
