About me and my therapy practice
I am an experienced counsellor who has worked with many issues included bereavement, anxiety and depression, trauma and identity. I realise how hard it can be to speak to a stranger, but I aim to help create a welcoming space, work at your speed, and stay by your side.
I have experience working at Mind, with women in prison and, as well as having my own private practice, I train others to counsel. We will decide together on ways of working, as I am a pluralistic therapist, who enjoys expressive methods, but will always be led by you. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and am GSRD aware.
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.

Practice description
I am a person-centred pluralistic counsellor and believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship for results, which is why it is so important that you find the right therapist for you. I am also qualified in mindfulness and eft (tapping) and so can offer practical tips such as on ways of grounding and dealing with negative thoughts. If working more creatively suits you, we can use sandtray, miniatures, cards and stones or you may chose to draw a Tree of Life to examine your life and goals but again this will depend on how you wish to work.

About me and my therapy practice
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).
