Perhaps you found my page because you have been feeling down, stressed, depressed or anxious.
You might be wondering how counselling and psychotherapy could help?
Stressful life events can affect us in many ways: some of us have difficulty sleeping or struggle to find motivation. We can feel agitated and be short-tempered, struggle to make decisions and begin to doubt ourselves; we can lose trust in our capabilities.
If you would like support to work together to help you through a challenging time in your life, I can help.
I appreciate that finding the right therapist for you can be daunting, I will give you the opportunity to share your feelings without judgement or prejudice, but with compassion and acceptance.
I offer one-to-one counselling and psychotherapy in a quiet and private environment; a safe space to explore deep feelings can provide a fresh perspective on your circumstances.
For over 25 years I held a position of responsibility in a busy city centre office.
My career was beginning to take its toll on my health and well-being. So in 2012 I made the decision to pursue a more rewarding career better suited to my personality: my own next chapter.
I graduated with Honours in Counselling and Psychotherapy Professional Practice from The University of Salford. My foundation is in person-centred therapy.
I have also undertaken training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Mindfulness and can incorporate these approaches if required and with prior agreement with you.

Counselling can help with many of life's obstacles. For example if you're experiencing work or relationship stress, feeling overwhelmed by grief, anxiety or depression, counselling can help.
I offer a non-directive, person-centred approach. I consider you to be the expert on you. Often talking through the issues affecting you with a qualified therapist will offer you a new insight into events or feelings and emotions.
I will value you as an individual and respect your views and wishes.
I will offer you confidentiality, acceptance and empathy.
I will not usually give advice or tell you what to do; my aim will be to remain by your side as you rebuild your trust in yourself.
I operate a no obligation first session at a cost of £45. This initial appointment provides us the opportunity to establish your requirements, and to make sure I am the right therapist for you. If after this you feel comfortable with us working together, and I am confident I can support you we will arrange a second session and establish an agreed therapeutic plan to suit your needs.
*Payment for this first session is payable 48 hours prior to the session time*
Sessions are typically 50-60 minutes; longer sessions may be available on request and with prior agreement. Longer sessions do cost more, depending on length and costs will be agreed at the time of booking.
Sessions can be either long or short term, depending on each individual circumstance. Many people find short-term therapy is suitable; for other clients longer-term therapy is preferred. Details such as this will be agreed together as appropriate.
