I’ve worked as a qualified therapist since 2017, and have recently completed a doctorate in counselling psychology, with full HCPC registration expected in December.
I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to talk about what you’re going through. I work with people experiencing anxiety, low mood, difficulties with sleep, grief and loss, and times when life feels hard to manage. Together, we can explore what has happened, how it affects you now, and what might be helpful at your pace.
You don’t need to know which type of therapy you need before contacting me. I work in an integrative, person-centred way, drawing on different approaches to suit your needs. I see clients in my private therapy room in Milnrow, Rochdale, and online.

The call is a chance to tell me a little about what brings you here, ask questions, and see whether working together feels right for both of us. There is no obligation to book a therapy session. If you decide you would like one, you book the session yourself after our conversation, at a time that suits you.

How do I work as a therapist?
I’m a humanistic, person-centred integrative therapist offering compassionate support during some of life’s most challenging times. Difficulties can often cause us to experience anxiety, depression, insomnia, grief and loss. My approach is rooted in creating a comforting, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard and accepted. This enables us to gain a more compassionate understanding of what has happened to you, why you might be experiencing your difficulties in the way that you are, and how we might work together to be curious about what is most helpful to you and what is not. I hold Carl Rogers’ core conditions at the heart of my work: empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard, walking alongside you as we explore your experiences together.
I support people from all walks of life who are experiencing difficulties that are affecting their ability to live the way they wish to live.
Book your free initial consultation by phone, and you can find out more about how we might work together in a way that meets your specific needs. There is no obligation to book a therapy session during the call. In fact, the only way to book a session would be for you to do it yourself, at a convenient time for you, after our conversation ends. This enables you to hold full control over what feels best for you, without experiencing any pressure.
If you choose to have therapy with me, I tailor each session to your unique needs by integrating a range of therapeutic theories, approaches, tools and techniques.
These can include: Solution Focused Psychotherapy, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, Person-Centred Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (including third-wave approaches such as CFT, ACT, START), Creative Relational Psychotherapy, Psychodynamic approaches, and creative relational methods such as using objects like stones to symbolise emotional experiences. I also use timeline work to help us understand how early life experiences and attachments may influence current patterns of thought, behaviour, physical sensations, and emotions.
I’m passionate about anxiety, loss, social justice, dementia, and helping you explore the deeper roots of your struggles, gently guiding you toward greater awareness, encouraging you to process difficult experiences, and initiating meaningful change. Together, we’ll work towards interrupting unhelpful cycles and moving you toward the life you want to live, at your pace, in your way.
How can talking therapies help me?
Having the opportunity to sit with someone in a safe, non-judgmental space, where you can explore your concerns with curiosity and compassion, can feel incredibly powerful. Therapy can offer you the space to better understand yourself, while feeling supported as you consider the changes you might want to make in your life.
Together, we might explore your childhood and the significant memories you hold of important or difficult moments in your life. We may be curious about what coping looked like for you then, why those ways of coping were important, and how they may have helped you to survive or manage difficult experiences.
Sometimes, the ways we learnt to cope in the past continue with us long after we needed them. They may have worked very well for you at one time, but perhaps they no longer meet your needs in quite the same way. Together, we can gently explore this and consider other ways of coping that feel more helpful and valuable to you now, based on everything you have experienced and learned throughout your life.
We might also think about what is maintaining some of the difficulties you are experiencing now, and even how those patterns may be supporting or protecting you in their own way. With greater understanding, it can become possible to notice unhelpful cycles, begin to break them, and gradually create new ones that feel more supportive.
After our work together, people often describe feeling more understanding and less critical of themselves. Some have described feeling more reflective and compassionate towards themselves, and better able to recognise when something has triggered an old pattern of behaviour. Instead of reacting in the way they always have, people have reported being able to pause and notice what is happening, even asking themselves: Is this what I need in this moment, or do I want to choose something else I know is helpful for me right now?
For me, therapy is not about telling you who you should be or what you should do. It is about helping you understand yourself with greater curiosity and compassion, so that you have more freedom to choose what feels right for you now.
