Psychodynamic Counselling in Manchester
I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches including Psychodynamic and Person Centred schools.
I am a BACP registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor.
I view therapy as an honest, meaningful conversation between two people where you will feel heard and understood. My style is friendly and down-to-earth, with a focus on building a genuine connection and then using this as the basis for exploring aspects of your life that are holding you back. I appreciate that starting any kind of personal work may be daunting and can bring up feelings of anxiety, so I place a great deal of emphasis on making sure the relationship is a good fit and we work at a pace that promotes a sense of safety before we begin to work at depth

I offer a personalised, integrative approach, blending CBT, Humanistic, Systemic, and Psychodynamic methods.
People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are dealing with anxiety, low mood, stress, or relationship issues; others feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps. Many want a space where they can talk openly, feel heard, and understand themselves better. Therapy can support people in making sense of emotions and experiences, managing challenges, and developing skills that help them feel more balanced, confident, and connected to themselves. Therapy with me is just that, it's tailored to you and your unique needs and therapy goals.

People access therapy for many different reasons, but generally we are most likely to reach out for help when our usual coping strategies are no longer effective. At these times it is not always helpful or possible to turn to family or friends, and their well-meaning support may not always help. I will provide a calm and confidential space where you will be able to safely share what is troubling you.

If you'd like to look more closely at grief, past experiences or coping mechanisms which aren't serving you, I will draw on other approaches such as Psychodynamic Therapy.
Life brings challenges we didn’t ask for that can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed. You might be experiencing anxiety, difficulties in relationships or simply feeling that something isn’t quite right. You don’t have to face these alone.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind allowing you to make sense of your thoughts and emotions. Together we’ll explore what matters most to you, at your own pace, while being met with understanding; allowing you to feel more at ease and building the confidence to navigate the best way forward.

Eventually I came to a study of Western Psychology, specifically Psychodynamic, Jungian Archetypes, Synchronicity, Dreams, & Shadow Integration work.
Via spiritual counselling, Jungian Archetypes & Active Imagination I assist my clients to access, process and release the unconscious 'baggage' stored in the subconscious, which is often related to recurring life & relationship issues & stubborn negative programmes, e.g. self-sabotage, co-dependency. I also help my clients to gain self-regulation tools.
