Nuffield Health Counselling in Manchester
I am a Psychological Therapist with over 18 years of clinical experience in mental health care, spanning both public and private sectors. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed therapy, helping clients understand and address the early experiences that have shaped their emotional distress in the present.
I take a neurobiological approach to healing—integrating brain and body—to help clients make sense of their nervous system responses. When we experience trauma, adversity, or chronic stress, our bodies adapt in ways that can feel overwhelming or confusing. My work involves demystifying these responses and empowering clients.

I became interested in Youth and Community work when I was a teenager and started to work for Manchester Youth and Community Education Service
I quickly realised that most of the young people and adults I engaged with, needed the support of a trusted adult who they could confide in and talk to about a whole range of issues.
This lead me onto my counselling path and in 1986 I undertook a Certificate in Counselling
I have been working with young people and adults in a wide range of settings and in particular people who are Neurodiverse/SEND and have faced Adverse Childhood Experiences.

Waitlist for new clients
I am a consultant psychologist and work specifically with people who have OCD or Trauma or both. In 25 years of specialist practice, I have helped 1000+ people regain their lives. It's not your fault if previous therapy hasn't yet yielded the desired results. Often, this is due to a lack of therapist expertise. I tailor therapy to exactly what is needed for YOUR issues. Therefore, your time & monetary investment is often less with me than with other non-specialist psychologists. I see only a small number of clients, so I can offer you the highest level of service. I currently hold a waitlist. Not currently accepting AXA insurance.
