Looking for a therapist can be really hard, especially as there are so many of us out there,  but if you have come to a cross roads in life, want to examine your identify, are suffering from anxiety or depression, or have experienced a loss and don't know where to turn, I might just be the right therapist for you. I realise how hard it can be to speak to a stranger, but I aim to help create a safe space,  work at your speed, and stay by your side.

I am an experienced counsellor, who also trains others to counsel, and will do my best to help you. We would decide together on  way of working, as I am pluralistic, and  I especially like to use creative methods, but don't panic, I will be led by you. 

 Contact me if you'd like to see if we are a good fit. 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. 

I offer a free 30 minute online meeting to check I am the right therapist for you. 

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,  and am a lecturer in counselling and psychotherapy at Salford University and Metanoia Institute.  

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:

£50 for 1.5 hours for students and volunteer counsellors.

£60 for 1.5 hours for qualified salaried counsellors.
