Counselling offers a space to talk about the issues in your life and there are many reasons for coming. Talking things through with a supportive and non-judgemental therapist can help you gain clarity and make sense out of where you currently find yourself. This in itself can provide some relief and open up the potential for positive change. Whether you are having difficulties at work, have anxiety or depression, have had a major life event/trauma, an addiction, experienced loss, or just need to make sense of your current situation I can offer you a warm, confidential and welcoming space where you feel safe, respected and supported.
I have been a qualified integrative counsellor since 2002 working in Rochdale and the surrounding area. I offer both long and short-term therapy, and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and fully abide by their ethical framework for good practice. I am also a qualified IEMT practitioner.
Choosing a counsellor who feels right for you is often an intuitive decision. Please feel free to call for an initial chat as this may help you decide if you would like to book a first appointment.
