I have been in private practice for over 10 years as a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and Counsellor specialising in trauma and relationships. I work online, offering therapy and counselling to clients across Manchester city centre and the surrounding areas, including Spinningfields, Deansgate, and Castlefield.

You give a lot. You worry a lot. And somehow, relationships still feel harder than they should. I'm a specialist trauma therapist with over 10+ years experience helping people with relationship anxiety, people pleasing, attachment & burnout.

To the outside world you may seem fine - warm, capable, always coping. But there's a cost to wearing that mask, and often it's a loneliness that's hard to explain, even to yourself.

Maybe you second-guess yourself constantly, wondering if you're too sensitive, too needy, or simply asking for too much. Maybe you're not even sure what you need anymore, only that the way things are doesn't feel sustainable.

Not just in romantic relationships. The friendships where you give everything and still feel alone. The family dynamics you can't seem to escape. The workplace where you over-explain, or brace for criticism. The relationship with yourself, the inner voice that's never quite satisfied.

Something I've learned across more than a decade of clinical work, is that trauma often doesn't live in the past. It lives in your sleep, your body, and your relationships - in the quiet belief that you are somehow the problem. And very often, it shows up in anxiety, people pleasing, burnout, codependency, and patterns rooted in childhood trauma and relationships that were never quite safe enough.

Many of the people I work with don't arrive describing themselves as someone who's been through trauma. Because sometimes trauma is one clear event. Sometimes it's the accumulation of difficult experiences over time. You don't need the perfect label for it to matter.

Whatever brings you here, and however long you've been carrying it, change is possible. In over 10 years of this work, I've seen it happen, and it rarely looks the way people expect.

I've spent over a decade sitting with people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. That experience has given me something that goes beyond clinical training - a genuine, deep understanding of how trauma shapes identity, relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we deserve.

I bring both professional and personal understanding to this work, alongside authentic human realness and clinical experience. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation from which real healing becomes possible. I offer an integrative, trauma-informed approach tailored entirely to you, drawing from attachment theory, somatic awareness and nervous system regulation, using a three-phase approach to trauma. No single path fits everyone.

I believe every person has the capacity to heal and to build the relationships they deserve. My role is to work alongside you, not to fix you, but to help you reconnect with the part of yourself that already knows the way.

Therapy with me is an open and individual process meaning there is no set number of sessions.

I offer an initial session (50 minutes) this gives us enough time to get a sense of whether working together feels right. In therapy, the relationship between client and therapist is central to outcomes, finding someone you feel genuinely comfortable with is where good therapy begins. There is no expectation to commit to regular sessions after the initial session.

Support is available so do reach out. I reply to all enquiries within 24 hours.

Alongside trauma, I work with adults carrying what's harder to name, shame, self-doubt, a sense of never quite belonging, not knowing who you are outside of what others need from you, or the weight of relationships that have always felt complicated.

I've spent over a decade sitting with people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives, including five years as an integrative trauma therapist within a specialist counselling trauma service dedicated to supporting adults, developing deep expertise in complex trauma, childhood trauma, attachment difficulties, and relationship anxiety.

That experience has given me something that goes beyond clinical training - a genuine, deep understanding of how trauma shapes identity, relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we deserve.

I bring both professional and personal understanding to this work, alongside authentic human realness and clinical experience. As a neurodivergent therapist, I have a particular understanding of what it means to move through the world feeling subtly out of step. 

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation from which real change becomes possible. I believe every person has the capacity to heal and to build the relationships they deserve. My role is to work alongside you, not to fix you, but to help you reconnect with the part of yourself that already knows the way.

If something here has felt familiar, I'd welcome you to get in touch. You don't need a clear starting point, just a sense that this might be the right space.

Initial session: £65 for 50 minutes

Ongoing individual sessions: £95 for 50 minutes

I offer an initial session (50 minutes) this gives us enough time to get a sense of whether working together feels right. In trauma therapy, the relationship between client and therapist is central to outcomes. Finding someone you feel genuinely comfortable with is where good therapy begins.

If I'm not the right fit, I'm happy to support you in finding a different trauma therapist. There is no expectation to commit to regular sessions after the initial session.

I hold a limited number of concessionary places, because I recognise that circumstances beyond our control can affect all of us. Please mention this when you get in touch.

I respond to all enquiries within 1 working day.
