I am currently available on Fridays and some Tuesdays during school hours but this may change. 

I offer a free initial trial session first.   

I offer concessions for low income clients

Hello,

Do you feel stuck trying to work out how to manage a problem or relationship? 

Do you have a past experience or experiences (s) that negatively affect you now in your relationships or in the way you want to live your life? 

I can offer a supportive, non judgmental therapeutic space for you to explore and process past and or present experiences or specific issues,  make sense of how these affect you and support you to find ways that enable you to move forward and manage your relationships and issues in a positive way.

I am an integrative therapist and I draw on a wide range of therapy models which includes; trauma informed, person-centred, cognitive and behavioural, attachment, grief and loss). Primarily the way I work focuses on the therapeutic relationship and draws broadly on the trauma model of stabilisation, processing, re-integration and re-connection.

I have over 10 years experience working as a counsellor within the NHS with adults who have experienced trauma in childhood or adulthood. I have experience in working with a wide range of issues including PTSD, trauma, anxiety and depression, relationships, loss, attachment and the impact of abuse.

 I offer short to medium term counselling sessions. Sessions would be offered in a fully heated and private garden room at a private address in Didsbury. Online sessions are also available. 

The first session would include an assessment of your needs and goals for therapy and to see if we feel we can work together. 

You can also find out more about the type of therapy I offer and if this feels appropriate to your needs.

We would then contract for further sessions with planned reviews. 

My availability is currently Tuesday afternoons and Fridays usually within school hours, possibly some evenings.

I have been a qualified supervisor since 2022 and I am trained in the 7 eye model of supervision. 

I work in a person-centred and collaborative way and offer supervision both short and long-term that focuses not only on your practice but also on your overall well-being within and outside your counselling practice. 

Supervision sessions would be tailored around your individual needs and practice experience. 

I can offer supervision either face to face from a private garden room at a private address in West Didsbury or online.

I have extensive experience as a trauma informed accredited counsellor with the NHS working with adults, young people and parents of children who have suffered sexual abuse as adults or children. Their presenting issues have also included many other forms of trauma  such as domestic abuse, relationship estrangement, abandonment, attachment issues, complex loss, physical and mental illness, and the impact of this; such as anxiety depression, loss, relationship issues, low self-esteem, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. 

I have experience in supervising individuals from a clinical and non clinical background.

I offer supervision to support your practice whatever your level of experience specifically but not exclusively if you work with adult or childhood trauma.

 I also offer supervision to counselling trainees and would support you with any additional practice needs,  provide reports and feedback to your training provider if requested. 

I also offer supervision to professionals who work with adults or young people in social care, mental health or related settings. 

An initial meeting would be offered to see if we feel we can work together either online or face to face. 

We would then complete the contracting and further sessions would be arranged in advance usually monthly (or more frequent if you need to meet training requirements), with reviews every 6 months. 

The first session would involve an exploration of your needs, goals and expectations of the supervision process as part of our contracting.
