About me and my therapy practice

I work with clients on a wide range of issues but a lot of my work is around issues to do with trauma in childhood. Clients may have experienced physical, emotional or sexual abuse in childhood and are looking to address the impact this has on their lives. Others grew up in homes where someone else was dealing with chronic illness, mental illness or addiction which has greatly affected their outlook on life and the way they relate to others. As a counselor with the LGBT foundation in Manchester and in my independent practice, I do a lot of work with clients who are addressing issues to do with sexuality and gender identity. I also have an interest in working with people who are exploring the intersection of faith/community and identity and with people who are addressing spiritual abuse or abuse within a faith community/setting. My continuing professional development is focused on the areas of trauma and identity.
