I primarily work in a Person-Centred way which means I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental place to explore your emotions, thoughts and difficulties around any area you feel is important in that session. I can offer you an empathic ear, a place to leave your emotional luggage and someone to walk with whilst you’re having a difficult time. I can also provide a more structured approach utilising my Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) experience and qualification.

Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) offers you a way to offload your difficulties, but also to be able to explore your own emotions, feelings, frustrations, behaviour and how you view the world around you in order to gain a greater understanding of yourself. CBT provides you with a structured and a more solution-led format of counselling, which can assist in changing thinking patterns and behaviours which are considered maladaptive. In both modalities of counselling, my aim is to empower you to break unhelpful cycles of thought and behaviour so you can be the best version of you possible.

I also specialise in various modalities of communication, including play, music, art and performance therapies if this is something you would like to explore, but I also provide straightforward talking therapy which has proven extremely beneficial for my clients.

I offer a free 30 minute telephone consultation, whereby I explain how I work and find out a little about what you are looking for from counselling. This provides the opportunity to see if we can work well together and ensure we are able to build the vital therapist-client relationship.

For qualified counsellors and supervisors, my fees are £55 per hour or £80 for 1.5 hours.

For trainee counsellors and supervisors I charge £45 per hour or £65 for 1.5 hours.

I qualified as a Supervisor from the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy, working with the Hawkins and Shohet Seven-eyed model of Supervision. I am primarily Humanistic however very comfortable working with all modalities, particularly PCT, CBT and TA. I am an experienced counsellor, with over eight years of experience.

If you're feeling stuck with your client or need someone to collaborate on alternative interventions, please get in touch. I will provide a safe, non judgemental and open space to explore your difficulties as well as celebrating your successes with your clients. I pride myself on being down to earth, a realist and giving you an honest explanation of my viewpoint, as well also my own experiences of counselling, including interventions that worked and ones that weren’t so great!

I work very flexibly, offering a relaxed style however can be challenging when the circumstances call for it. Supervision is about exploring your client work with a fellow professional and gaining a different, or additional, insight on your work. This will help you learn, grow, and become the best counsellor you can be.

I offer a free 30 minute teletho telephone consultation with potential supervisees to explore if and how we can with week together, that you would feel comfortable sharing any client difficulties with me as well as celebrating something you’re proud of. The relationship between supervisor and supervise is just as vital as client-counsellor, therefore this consultation is essential and valuable.
