I currently have availability in person and online on Wednesdays & online on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday evenings.

In my practice, I strive to empower individuals to discover the best version of themselves. Whether you're facing challenges, seeking personal growth, or simply feeling stuck, I am committed to providing compassionate support and guidance every step of the way.

At the heart of my theraputic approach is Transactional Analysis (TA), a therapeutic model known for its accessibility and effectiveness. Through TA, we'll explore the dynamics of your relationships, communication patterns, and inner dialogue. By gaining awareness of your ego states and the transactions you engage in, you'll uncover deeper insights.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, stress, or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our sessions, we will explore what's going on in the present day and delve into the effects the past may be having.

Your first session is charged at my standard rate and runs for the usual session length, whether we meet in person in Altrincham or online.

I use this session to carry out a structured initial assessment. This gives us both the chance to explore what's brought you to therapy, your history and current circumstances, and what you're hoping to get from our work together. It also allows me to check that I'm the right fit for your needs, and gives you the chance to ask me anything about how I work.

I currently offer online therapy appointments daily, with availability across weekdays and evenings.

I offer flexible online sessions to make therapy accessible for those balancing work, study and other commitments.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss availability. I will always try to accommodate a suitable day and time where possible.

I am a BACP and UKCP registered Integrative Transactional Analysis psychotherapist, working with adults online across the UK. I have a particular interest in supporting people experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, life transitions or feeling stuck, including young adults navigating periods of change and uncertainty.

My approach is relational and integrative. I draw particularly on Transactional Analysis, which can help us understand how past experiences, relationships and patterns of thinking can influence how we feel and behave in the present.

I believe therapy should feel collaborative and individual to you. I won't tell you what you should do or try to fit you into a particular way of working. Instead, we will work together to understand what is happening for you and explore what might help you move forward.

You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Sometimes knowing that something isn't quite right is enough reason to reach out.

I offer a confidential and supportive space where you can talk openly about whatever is bringing you to therapy.

Sessions are led by what feels most relevant to you. This might be anxiety or feeling overwhelmed, difficulties in relationships, low self-esteem, challenges around work or study, navigating a period of change, or simply feeling stuck and unsure about what comes next.

As an integrative therapist, I don't believe there is one approach that works for everyone. I draw on different therapeutic ideas and adapt our work to your individual needs. My training in Integrative Transactional Analysis means we may explore patterns in your relationships, the way you relate to yourself and others, and how experiences from the past may continue to influence the present.

I aim to create a therapy relationship that is warm, honest and collaborative. You can expect me to listen without judgement, while also helping you to explore things from different perspectives when this feels useful.

We can work towards understanding yourself more deeply, developing greater self-awareness and finding new ways of responding to situations that may currently feel difficult.

I offer online sessions via secure video, making therapy accessible from wherever you are in the UK.

The first session is an opportunity for us to meet, talk about what has brought you to therapy and begin to understand what you would like support with.

There is no expectation that you need to know exactly what you want to work on. We can take some time to explore what has been happening for you and what you hope might be different as a result of therapy.

I will also explain how I work, answer any questions you have and make sure you understand practical arrangements such as confidentiality, session frequency and how online sessions work.

Most importantly, the first session is a chance for both of us to consider whether we feel comfortable working together. Finding the right therapist is important, and there is no pressure to commit to ongoing sessions if you don't feel the fit is right.
