I am a fully qualified BACP registered counsellor, based in Stockport town centre. 

I work with a lot of clients who struggle with anxiety, I understand how difficult living with this can be. Life can feel overwhelming and finding the answers can feel just out of reach. Anxiety can show up in various ways and begin following a stressful or traumatic life event or it can appear as if from nowhere. Tying to control, ignore or push down anxious feelings often results in increased feelings of panic or feeling 'out of control' My approach is to work with you to understand how the anxiety has developed and how you can learn to quieten the ‘noise’.

Although there are often patterns in the way people think, feel and behave each us have a unique way of viewing the world. The therapy room is a place to explore your life, giving you the chance to gain a greater understanding of what may be preventing you from moving forward.

My sessions are client led meaning we work together at your pace and direction. Working in collaboration builds strength in the therapeutic relationship and helps me understand 'what makes you tick' Combining CBT practice with empathic listening I can provide you with tools and techniques that you can draw on as part of your everyday life.

As an integrative therapist with person centred theory at the heart of my practice I am empathic, honest and non-judgemental, My sessions are client led meaning we work together at your pace and direction. 

In the first session we will spend time contracting which means I will explain the confidentiality agreements we need to have in place.

I will gain an understanding of what you feel you would like to achieve from our sessions and arrange the initial number and frequency of sessions to suit you.  

If you would like to arrange a no obligation phone call, we could have an informal chat to discuss working together.
