Bupa Counselling in Manchester
Finding the right therapist for you is crucial in order for therapy to be effective and to help you make lasting changes. I offer a free initial assessment. Affordable prices. I work in a broad way. I believe humour is essential in therapy & is often the thing that keeps us going through the darkness.
I provide a safe space, in a non-judgemental environment, where people have the freedom to explore themselves. I am warm and I work at my client's pace in a gentle manner. I am an integrative counsellor and use a variety of theoretical models. This collaborative approach enables me to work in a way that suits each individual client.

Sometimes life throws us challenges both through past and present experiences, which knock us off our feet and we become engulfed in uncertainty, worry and fear. It could be that we start to doubt ourselves and feel that we are not good enough or we are unable to cope, leading to anxiety and depression. Whatever you are going through, it deserves care, attention and compassion. You may be struggling to make meaning of what is going on around as you navigate life changes or have experienced traumatic events that you need some relief from. Whatever you are going through, I hope to help.

I am registered with AXA, Bupa and Aviva.
I have been working full-time as a psychotherapist since 2002 and have over 16,000 clinical hours of experience. Trained in a number of different types of therapy, I offer a huge depth of experience, formerly as a Senior Psychotherapist with a community mental health team (CMHT) within the NHS and now as a psychotherapist in private practice. Additionally, as I have an unusual dual training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Humanistic & Integrative Psychotherapy, I am uniquely placed to offer a flexible and powerful approach to psychotherapy.

For Bupa Clients, I require a valid preauthorisation code prior to proceed with sessions.
Looking into therapy might be a new experience for you, but you’re looking into it for a reason; whether it’s work-related stress, relationship issues, feeling low or anxious, experiencing low self-esteem, or trying to process something that has had an impact on your wellbeing. I offer a safe space for you to talk, and say things that you may find difficult to say to anyone else, or even say out loud. You won’t be judged, you will be accepted, heard and valued. I’m very down to earth, open minded and do not shock easily. My aim is to help you feel at ease so that we can work together to improve your wellbeing.

Sometimes, we can feel overwhelmed by life and we don't recognize why we feel the way we do. This can lead to us feeling disconnected with others but also with ourselves. Sometimes the problem is not always clear and by talking things through in a safe space, it can help us understand what is happening. Navigating issues through a therapeutic relationship can empower us to progress in your journey of self-discovery and thrive in life. I can offer you a safe, confidential space for you to feel heard, bring any issues that may be affecting you and your ability to flourish.

I am a qualified psychotherapist, life coach, trainer and supervisor, with over 25 years experience in private practice. I work with adults who may be encountering life's stressors to a greater-than-usual degree or may be struggling to find their way forward in a diverse range of circumstances. These may be from personal or professional sources but usually involve our own, perhaps not very helpful, habitual ways of dealing with such difficulties - we all can revert to old habits in times of trouble. I am available to do both short- and long-term work according to need.

Many people I work with describe a deep sense of feeling misunderstood, overlooked, or different — sometimes for as long as they can remember. If this resonates with you, you may be wondering whether your experiences could be related to ADHD, autism, or trauma. Or you might already know these are part of your story and be trying to understand what that truly means for you. It can be painful to feel that the world doesn’t quite “get” you, to have so much happening inside, yet struggle to find spaces where you feel safe enough to be yourself.
My role is to offer a space where you can feel safe, understood, and accepted, as you are.

You may be a high-functioning professional who may be very capable on the outside, yet internally struggling with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, or feeling stuck.

I am a trauma-focused therapist working with adults who are experiencing ongoing emotional difficulties linked to past or recent trauma. Many of the people I work with have tried therapy before and are looking for something that feels more focused and effective.
Alongside my private practice, I work within the NHS as a counsellor and EMDR therapist. My background includes specialist work in domestic abuse services, substance misuse, and sexual trauma, which has shaped a careful, trauma-informed approach to therapy.
