Life Coaching Counselling in Manchester
Life has a way of presenting us with difficulties—whether it’s a tough beginning in childhood, an unexpected stressful event, a traumatic experience, or the ongoing demands of parenting.
As a clinical psychologist, I have specialised in trauma-focused and attachment-focused therapies. This means that I can help you explore how past relationships may be affecting you today and help you safely process painful experiences, reducing their impact while supporting you in creating healthier, more secure connections moving forward and resilience.

I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, relational difficulties, existential concerns, and major life transitions.
With years as a Buddhist monk and an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from King's College London, I bring rigorous evidence-based practice and profound embodied understanding. I'm pursuing a PhD in psychology and the therapeutic process.
Suffering with mental health can feel overwhelming—going in circles, losing touch with your lifestyle, wondering if relief is possible. I integrate ancient contemplative wisdom with modern neuroscience to help clients create deep, lasting change.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I work holistically—addressing thought patterns, emotional regulation, and embodied experience.

At some point, life starts to feel like something you’re managing.
You might have a “complicated” family background and aren’t sure if it counts (or if it’s “bad enough”). You’ve spent too long trying to figure this out alone and want someone who can help you see what’s actually going on, not just reassure you. This probably isn’t about effort. It’s about patterns that made sense at the time, but don't work for you anymore.

You may feel disconnected from yourself, exhausted from carrying so much, frustrated by repeating the same cycles, or aware that something is getting in the way of living the life you know you're capable of.

Late-diagnosed AuDHD Therapist.
The Clients: Late-diagnosed AuDHD adults & ASD/NT couples seeking a neuro-affirming expert who "gets it."

I believe that the therapist and client come together as a team to work through issues that may stand in the way of you reaching your potential. Through my training, I have mainly used Transactional Analysis, but also have some experience working in a solution-focussed way and like to work integratively as each person is an individual who may like to work in a different way. I work with people on a range of issues, but find that I work with people with anxiety or depression most commonly, and pride myself on working hard to make people feel at ease.

Life is often times difficult and it is very normal for people to find ways to distract, cope and manage.
