You are here because you have decided to reach out for help, an amazing first step, well done. 

Whether you are suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship issues or loss and bereavement, I have experience working in this area and will do my best to help you.  I am warm, empathic, non judgmental and offer a relaxed, safe counselling environment, which might just suit you, helping you to move forward positively to where you want to be. 

Choosing a therapist can be a mine field, with so many available, all working in different ways, so do contact a few before making a decision. I am an integrative counsellor, gaining my MA in Counselling from the University of Manchester, and use a variety of methods, working with clients to identify the best fit. These include a Person-Centred Approach, expressive and cognitive methods, as well as mindfulness. 

 Contact me if you'd like to see if I am the right therapist for you. The first meeting would be free, to make sure we can work together. 

If you contact me and don't get a reply, please check your spam. I will always reply, even if I am unable to help. 

Please note, I am currently only working online due to Covid 19. 

As members of the BACP we all need to have supervision and so it's really important to find the right person to make sure supervision stays fresh, you feel supported and continue to deepen your knowledge and practice.  

I am an integrative counsellor, gaining an MA in counselling from the University of Manchester. I currently work in private practice, volunteer as a counsellor at Styal women's prison  and am a lecturer in counselling skills at Chester University. 

For supervision I use the Hawkins and Shohet 7 eyed model and am suppportive and non judgemental, combining my educative and counselling roles. 

I have experience working with adults (through Mind, private practice and Styal women's prison),  children (with Mind and Place2Be) and  young people (6th form college).

Cost:

£45 for 1.5 hours for students and volunteer counsellors.

£55 for 1.5 hours for qualified salaried counsellors.
