I work Monday to Friday. I can offer some evening and early morning appointments.

If you phone me and I do not answer it is probably because I am with a client. Please leave a message and I will get back to you.

Often our anxieties and difficulties can weigh us down and we are unable to find a way forward. Perhaps you experience intrusive anxious thoughts or you inner critic is loud and holds you back. Perhaps past trauma feels all to present and still dictates how your mind and body react today. Maybe you repeat the same unhelpful behaviour again and again. Our thoughts and feelings can be confusing and talking to friends and relatives about our concerns may be too difficult. I provide a confidential, safe, respectful and non-judgemental space in which you can explore your difficulties, gain insight and discover a way forward.

I provide a counselling relationship where you are heard, understood and accepted. This is extremely powerful because it allows you to open up and express all of your emotions, feelings and thoughts. This new awareness and clarity leads to the potential for positive change.

My specialist areas of interest are Anxiety, such as Social Anxiety, Panic, Phobias, OCD; and Trauma, whether that be a one off trauma or exposure to repeated long lived stressful or dangerous situations. My research into trauma and the impact of traumatic childbirth has been published and a chapter in the book "Listening to less heard voices" by P Gubi is dedicated to this research.

I am an experienced BACP Accredited Counsellor, with an MA in Clinical Counselling. My counselling experience includes NHS Staff Counselling; Mental Health Social Inclusion Programme; a Counselling Charity and Employee Assistance Service Providers. Prior to that I was a workplace Trainer, Coach and Management Consultant.

I hold Professional Recognition with Aviva, Aetna, AXA PPP Healthcare and WPA

I know that deciding whether counselling is right for you can be daunting, never mind deciding which counsellor is a good match for you. I therefore offer a 20 minute consultation, free of charge, which can help you make your decision.

I offer face to face sessions from my office in Ilkley and for the convenience of my clients I also offer online sessions. I find that so many people prefer the convenience of being able to access online therapy from the comfort of their own home.

Having worked in Manchester for most of my professional life, I  have recently relocated to Leeds. As I still get many referrals from Manchester, I have decided to offer online therapy to my Manchester clients. For those seeking trauma work and EMDR, I use an online platform specifically developed for for EMDR therapists. I find the vast majority of clients are very happy with this way of working and many prefer the flexibility and time efficiency it provides.
