Everyone will become ‘unstuck’ at various times in their life, may find themselves in emotional turmoil and may not know which path to take. I truly believe that every adult should have counselling available to them, if we have a broken leg we go and seek medical attention, if we experience psychological/emotional hurt or distress we should seek psychological/emotional therapy. I am trained to a very high level (MA Clinical Counselling) yet I am very down to earth, warm and friendly. 

Coming from a nursing and counselling background, I have worked with clients who have long term physical health problems, mainly cancer, which may or may not be life limiting, helping clients learn to live with a diagnosis and adapt to a new way of living. This is particularly prevalent at the moment with increasing numbers suffering from Long Covid. I have helped clients adjust to living with a terminal diagnosis, and to live with a 'new normal' of having gone through cancer treatment and coming out of the other side still looking the same but feeling incredibly changed. I have worked with  the carers of those suffering with illnesses and supporting their emotional needs during this very difficult time.   I have worked extensively with bereavement, individuals  whose loved one’s have died and are finding it difficult to cope with their grief and loss. 

I have facilitated bereavement groups for several years and will be starting this again soon once it is allowed to do so ,  I have helped clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, living and dealing with domestic abuse both historically and currently, traumatic events, work related matters, relationship issues, self-esteem issues and identity crises. I now work as a self-employed psychotherapist/counsellor. 

I work from home and have a purpose built counselling suite which has its own entrance, waiting area, and parking area. I offer face to face counselling/psychotherapy, on-line (via zoom) and telephone counselling sessions. I have private access to a  public footpath in Lymm and can offer walking and talking therapy if this would be preferable to you. I have a large therapy dog that can sit in on sessions, who has a calming, loyal and solid presence however this is optional, she doesn’t mind either way.

If you have any queries or questions please feel free to get in contact, and I will reply as soon as possible. 

If you decide that we could work together, we will meet for an initial 30 minute session, free of charge, for you to get a feel for if we can work together well. The most important part of therapy is the relationship that is built between you and I, the therapist and the client.  I will welcome you in an open, non-judgemental, warm and caring manner.  Our sessions will thereafter be weekly or fortnightly for 50 minutes as we will arrange to suit us mutually.
