Hello

About Me

I am a trainee counsellor & psychotherapist, offering therapy online and in-person in Manchester.

I believe strongly in the value of growth and change throughout our lives. Whether it is learning new ways of living in the world, developing our creativity, broadening our experiences or changing how we relate to others, the underlying principle should be to enable moving towards greater vitality.

I work with a broad range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma and abuse.  Whatever problems you are facing, I will work with you, with compassion, empathy and respect to build a therapeutic alliance. Our goal should be to find a solution to your difficulties in the shortest possible time.

 You might come with a specific issue, or an awareness of being held back by unhelpful thinking, painful feelings or problematic behaviour. You might feel withdrawn and isolated, or you might feel your relationship with a loved one is intolerable, or that you are living a life that does not suit you, no matter how good it looks on paper or how impossible alternatives might appear now.

Talking things over with family or friends can help. But you might also feel like something in your relationships maintains your difficulties or you are not being truly heard. Or you may have reasons why it's not appropriate or why you need specialist help.

Then is the time to speak with an impartial professional, in confidence.
