About Me

I am a gentle but challenging counsellor experienced in both primary care and private practice. I understand that you are coming for counselling because there is some aspect of your life that is troubling you. Our sessions can look at this and work out how to achieve the result that you would like.

I qualified in 2003 and as a Registered and Senior Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am a trained and qualified Supervisor offering supervision to other counsellors. Also, I work as a Supervisor for the University of Salford on the BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy course, supervising student counsellors and helping them to develop their counselling practice.

I have researched in-depth into counselling, looking at what clients find useful in their sessions. My goal is to work with a client to find the most effective therapy that helps them. I use a range of therapeutic approaches aiming to create a bespoke therapy that meets each individual client’s needs.

I have a great deal of experience working with work stress, anxiety and depression and working with relationship difficulties.

I am available for all types of general counselling but with a particular interest in working with bereavement and loss. I also offer counselling for dealing with cancer and associated trauma, for patients themselves and family or friends also affected by a cancer diagnosis.
