If you're reading this, you're probably struggling with something and don't feel like you can talk to anyone about it. I've been there, it's rough. But in reading this listing, you’ve just taken the first step towards seeing if this is for you - that’s a big thing in and of itself. Now that you’ve done it and you’re here, why not take the plunge and get in touch with me?
I provide life-affirming therapy in Manchester and online! Everyone is heartily welcome in my therapy room (you included), and I have a wide range of experience, but I specialise in working with people who are LGBT+ (particularly trans or questioning), neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, etc), or who have experienced religious trauma or spiritual abuse.
No matter what brings you here, I want to help you live authentically. I’m not going to pretend I’m some sort of perfect one-size-fits-all therapist, but I can promise that I’m not going to judge you or force labels on you. Pop me an email to find out more or book a free consultation - I want to give this a try if you do.

I use sliding scale pricing, depending on what's affordable for you. I usually charge £40-50 online and £45-55 in-person. You also have the option to pay higher, which will help someone else access therapy. I also sometimes work at lower rates if possible for me, so please do still get in touch!

I take an affirming approach to working with clients who are (or want to explore potentially being) queer, trans, neurodivergent, or nonmonogamous - that means that I don't believe that being neurotypical is inherently superior to being neurodivergent, or that being cisgender is inherently preferable to being transgender, and so on. I will never try to push you towards a preferred outcome.

  • Trans-Affirming Therapy
"
I have a pluralistic approach, which means that I draw from different types of therapy. I work in a Person-Centred way, which means I'm not going to give you advice or tell you what to do, and instead work together with you to explore what's going on for you. I also use aspects of Transactional Analysis in the way I work, which is a way of viewing how you are in relationship to other people.
