About me
Welcome to my Counselling Directory page. Counselling provides a space to talk about your worries and concerns so that you can explore them and seek to have a better understanding and/or greater awareness about the issues that you are facing. You can explore your emotions, thoughts and behaviours in a safe environment and seek to make changes or to understand these experiences further.
I aim to create a non-judgmental, accepting space in which you can discuss your emotions and thoughts to obtain more understanding, acceptance or change and you can discuss your experiences, emotions and thoughts in collaboration.
Counselling is confidential and I adhere to the BACP ethical framework. The approach, that I use, is integrative-this means that I use a range of approaches to explore and help you with the struggles that you may be facing using an integrative framework. The techniques that I use may be CBT, Humanistic or Psychodynamic depending on your presenting concerns and the course of action that you wish to take. Ultimately the counselling relationship is very important and this is discussed within the initial meeting where you can discuss your aims and concerns.
My professional counselling status is that I am registered with the BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and am eligible for accreditation. I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework and have a degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Counselling.
I have attended numerous training courses (in a variety of approaches) and have provided counselling for adults, young people and families in various organisations and in private practice. Currently, counselling is offered within the Stockport area.
My approach values you-as an individual and your own individual life experiences and I endeavour to offer respect, honesty and empathy within the counselling process.
If you require counselling or have any questions regarding the service, or counselling generally, then please text me on 07507072204 or email
Training, qualifications & experience
My experience, as a counsellor, has spanned the previous 16 years. I have conducted counselling within a variety of organisations : Beacon, Oakwood House, Relate and Saneline. My counselling has included providing therapeutic support for clients of all ages and from diverse backgrounds.I have counselled young people and adults who have presented with relational difficulties, anxiety, eating issues, self-harm, anger management concerns, self-esteem, bullying, loss and bereavement, identity items, depression, trauma, emotional and psychological abuse histories, addiction, hopelessness, stress, behavioural concerns, phobias and obsessive compulsive behaviours.
Currently I offer private practice counselling appointments. I have provided personal therapy for student counsellors and supervise practicing counsellors. In my other professional role, I teach counselling modules within Higher Education and have a passion for counselling and psychotherapeutic support. In previous roles, I have used counselling skills and approaches within a range of non-counselling roles too- as a community outreach worker with children and families in crisis, as a Special Educational Needs co-ordinator, as a Primary school teacher and as a residential care worker with Looked After Children. These experiences enable me to connect and empathise with a wide range of issues and experiences.
