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. I offer support in holding difficult emotional experiences while also finding a way forward, thinking about growth and change that may be needed and helpful.

My role is to help you find a sense of steadiness within yourself and in relation to others, so that life feels more secure, loving and connected.

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

My Approach

My approach is trauma-informed, relational and integrative.

My training involved a BSc Counselling degree, PG Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling and an MSc in Psychology. I primarily draw from the person-centred and psychodynamic approach.

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. However, 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.

We may come to notice 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, noticing how they impact you or others in your life.

Therapy can offer space to digest heavier feelings that you may struggle to carry alone and to gently move toward finding a way forward.This may 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.
