Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile especially during these uncertain and difficult times. Thinking about therapy sessions is a huge decision, one that you may have been thinking of for quite some time, If you feel the time is now right for you to consider talk therapy then please do not hesitate to get in touch for more information.

I have over 8 years experience as a counselling professional throughout that time I have worked in private practice and with numerous different organisations. 

I offer a safe space to explore feelings and emotions whilst looking at ways of working together in a therapeutic relationship.

I work with clients online either by video or phone call alongside working face to face in my comfortable and safe therapy room based in Bolton Greater Manchester.

Areas of study I have covered throughout my degree and private practice are - 

Person centred practice, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution focused therapy, Neuro linguistic programming and motivational interventions. I also have a passion for using mindfulness in mental health.

I specialise in working with Anxiety, cancer, chronic illness & depression.

I am a realist, who has been through life’s journeys taking the good with the bad this has enabled me to gain true life experience which enables me to connect with each individual client.

As your therapist I will not judge or advise you, everything discussed is in the strictest confidence, I will listen and work alongside you to enable your journey is a unique/empowering experience.

Before our first session starts i  offer a FREE 15 minute consultation by phone to have a chat about therapy and how it could help you. This is a chance to talk about your expectations and why you have decided to seek talk therapy with myself.

FIRST SESSION- 

Your first session can seem quite nerve racking and raise some anxiety. I aim to make it as calm and informative as possible having been through counselling sessions myself in the past  I totally understand how much of a huge step walking through that door is or engaging on that first zoom call.

We will go through the therapy contract together and some basic information with an assessment then generally have a chat about the things that are going on for you at this moment in time and what has brought you to try talk therapy. Thereafter we will discuss about ongoing sessions, timescales and pricing.
