About me

I am a BACP accredited therapist offering short and long-term therapy online and in person from a warm and inviting room based in Chorlton, Manchester. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to talk openly and freely. You may come with a specific issue or perhaps just a vague sense that things don’t feel quite right.

I offer support in holding difficult emotional experiences, identifying patterns that may no longer serve you and helping you move toward finding a way forward.

My practice is neurodiverse friendly & affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities, non-monogamy and kink.

My Approach

My approach is trauma-informed and relational. I am an integrative therapist who draws from the psychodynamic and person-centred approach.

My core role is to offer a warm and supportive relationship where you can find a sense of steadiness within yourself and in relation to others, so that living feels more secure, loving and connected.

Sessions are led by you and what you would like to discuss. You may like to talk about your moods, dreams, memories, desires, relationships, uncomfortable feelings or long-standing coping strategies. I welcome complexity, messiness, contradiction and stuff that is hard to articulate or feels 'wrong' to say.

Although you will take the lead on what you bring to sessions, I see therapy as ‘two minds in the room’ meaning that I will also offer thoughts and reflections, engaging actively in our relationship.

During our work, I will likely enquire about your past experiences and formative relationships, to understand more about who you are and to help us draw connections between your past and present.

We may come to identify patterns in how you relate to yourself and others, noticing how this plays out in our relationship with one another. At points, we might widen the lens to think about collective issues or systemic oppression, thinking about how they impact you or others in your life.

This could involve recognising expectations, norms or scripts that could be limiting you, helping open up space to think in new and expansive ways. We may engage in a process of (re)thinking, feeling & imagining together.
