I have face to face sessions available in Ancoats in Manchester city centre on Mondays.

Online sessions are available for the rest of the week.

Perhaps you’re feeling anxious, carrying grief, or navigating health challenges. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to face it alone.

In our sessions, you’ll find a space, without judgement, where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. My approach is person-centred which means I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you discover what feels meaningful and right for you.

I want therapy to be accessible for everyone and I aim to be neurodivergent-, LGBTQ+, and racially inclusive.

I work with individuals and have experience supporting people with bereavement, anxiety, depression, chronic health conditions and neurodivergence. I’m especially interested in how therapy can support people through times of change, whether expected or unexpected.

You might be feeling stuck in difficult family dynamics, carrying long-held patterns from childhood, or finding that becoming a parent has stirred up old feelings you can’t quite place.

Many of the people I work with struggle with:

• Feeling emotionally alone, even when in relationships

• Emotions that feel hard to understand

• A sense of carrying things on their own for a long time

• Patterns in relationships that feel painful or stuck

• Wanting deeper, more authentic connection — with others and with themselves

You don’t need a clear “reason” to come to counselling. Often people begin therapy because something just doesn’t feel sustainable anymore.

What matters most to me is creating a genuine, trusting relationship where you feel heard, accepted, and supported as you explore both the painful and the hopeful parts of your life.
