My priority is to provide a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential space for you to just ‘be’ without any expectation, so you can explore any issues or struggles that are impacting your life. You may know what these struggles are, or you may not have the words or an understanding of what is going on for you. And that is okay. You may come to therapy with a set idea of what you want to explore, or you may come to therapy with just a hunch that something isn’t right. Therapy isn’t linear but I’ll be transparent in our work together and guide you in what can be difficult but ultimately enlightening work.

Hi, I am a Person-Centered counsellor and clinical supervisor based in South Manchester. I believe the first step to therapy can be the most difficult yet courageous. There are times when we could use some space to talk about and process what we are feeling and explore life issues, allowing yourself permission to reach out and talk to someone can be half the battle. My practice is holistic in its approach, connecting with the mind and body. As well as talk therapy I use somatic experiencing, EFT, grounding and mindfulness to help you connect with and explore your emotions and work through issues to re-balance.

I am proudly a combination of Autistic and ADHD. AuDHD has a nice ring to it. I draw on 15 years of experience in private practice as well as lived experience of being neurodivergent. I work exclusively with Autistic and/or ADHD people who do not have learning disabilities. This used to be called the Asperger category of Autism. Although these people are considered to be high functioning, I am careful using this term. It can cover up the deep seated struggles under the facade of “doing well”. My approach is to help you thrive as an Autistic / ADHD person rather than cope with symptoms by carrying on living a neurotypical life.

I specialise working with people who have experienced traumatic relationships, traumatic attachments, issues of abuse and neglect in a relationship - no matter how big or small this may feel.

I help people feel confident, develop boundaries, be more assertive, improve their self-esteem after feeling panicked, anxious, or walking on eggshells.

Welcome to my page! My journey to Soul Psychology started 30+ years ago during the extensive study of Yoga, Meditation, and Eastern Philosophy. This led me to become a Meditation & Yoga teacher to assist others to find their way back 'home' to wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. Eventually I was led to a study of Western Psychology approaches, specifically Psychodynamic, Somatic work, Jungian Archetypes, Dreams & Shadow Work. I believe that my experience in the fields of spirituality and psychology has given me the tools for accessing deeper layers of human psyche to facilitate self- healing, inner peace and self-empowerment.

Transpersonal Counsellors

How does transpersonal therapy work?

Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.

How long does transpersonal therapy last?

Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.

Is transpersonal therapy effective?

Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.

What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?

There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
