I offer a safe, inclusive, non-judgmental, anti-discriminatory counselling service to all, including those who are neurodivergent or suspect they might be.

About me and my practice
I have a masters degree in clinical counselling from the University of Chester. I worked for a number of years as a Counsellor in an NHS Talking Therapy Service. I have a private counselling practice both online and in person. I work from my therapy room, which is based in Chorlton, South Manchester, and Manchester City Centre.
My background is in the Performing Arts; I lectured in Contemporary Dance for several years before training as a High School Teacher. Working through my own adverse childhood experiences and supporting students in a pastoral capacity has led to a fulfilling career in counselling and psychotherapy.
Experience
My counselling service is personal to you, and we create a therapeutic relationship together. I listen with the aim of understanding how your experiences impact your life without making assumptions or trying to fit you into a formula. I am an interactive relational therapist; I will be in there with you without hindering your thoughts, processes, and insights. You will feel supported and held by me as your confident companion through the more painful aspects of the therapeutic process. I will be your ally as you connect with feelings you may have been avoiding or experiences you may have felt too difficult to explore or examine on your own.
