If you are facing life challenges right now, and you are looking for a safe non judgemental space to explore your concerns, do get in touch. We can meet in-person in Manchester or Blackburn or via video call. Let us walk the path together. You will find a safe space as your answers unfold. I recognise that beginning counselling can feel daunting. Sometimes the work may feel overwhelming. You are not alone on your journey. I will be with you. I offer flexible appointment times if this is what you need Working with me you will find warmth, but not softness, compassion but not pity, empathy but not sympathy.

As a person-centred counsellor, I respect you as the authority on what it is that is causing you unhappiness or distress. I will listen to what it is you need to bring to the therapeutic relationship with understanding and without judgement. I recognise you as the individual you are and you will always be at the centre of the therapeutic relationship.

Whether in-person, e-counselling, or walk & talk therapy, I offer a safe, confidential space as you explore your feelings and experiences that cause you distress so you can work toward the peace you need to make the changes you wish to make. I will listen to you and hear you without judgement or criticism in an open and honest therapeutic relationship.
