About me and my therapy practice

I provide professional counselling in Manchester, Wigan and the West Lancashire area.

I understand the daily frustration of living with depression and anxiety. Having had counselling myself, I know how it feels to sit in front of a stranger and talk about my inner most feelings. I'm here to accompany and encourage you on your own personal journey.

I specialise in person-centred counselling which means that during a session, you'll work with me by talking through issues, key events, concerns, behaviours and how you’re feeling...anything that’s bothering you. I immerse myself into your world to understand your perspective. I offer a safe and encouraging environment, one where you aren’t judged, so that you feel accepted and “held”. You’re then able to piece things together that may not have been clear before; acknowledge aspects of your behaviour; work through any hurt and get to a point where you feel capable to move forward and live your life.

Everybody who comes to counselling has different aims and outcomes that they want to achieve. Regardless of your reasons for seeking counselling, I believe it can enable you to reach your potential; help you to process your experiences and have a healthy mindset and behaviours; help you to fulfil whatever you desire; help you to develop a relationship with yourself; help you be the master in your own life.

How I Work With You:

Our sessions are 60 minutes in duration and we will talk in depth about your background, key events and people in your life and how your emotional and psychological wellbeing is affected by your history and these contributing factors.

There is no pressure, no judgement, you can stop at any time you choose, sessions are led by your needs.

By exploring key life events and relationships from your past and beginning to understand how these histories affect your behaviour and mindset today, I believe that you can take control of your mental wellbeing and lead a more confident, positive and happier life. 

Practice description

I specialise in person-centred talking therapy.

This involves discussing such things as important people in your life, key life events and how you feel about them, as well as how you respond to your environment and the people around you.

I believe that opening up your world is the first step to understanding it.

Consequently, the therapy process is driven by you and what you want to talk about. Your comfort and wellbeing are of the utmost importance, so you set the pace. No one person is the same and whether you are struggling with depression, unhealthy relationships or finding it hard to be happy with yourself and your life, everybody’s progress looks and feels different.

Therefore, how many counselling sessions you undertake and how long you come for is entirely up to you.

My goal is to promote the healing process and help you become the best version of yourself that you want to be.

My first session

I offer an initial 30-minute consultation free of charge.

There is no pressure to commit and I won’t judge the things you tell me.

This free consultation will give you an idea of how we would work together and, ultimately, will help you decide if you are ready to take your therapy and the healing process further with me.

Please note, if you can’t attend either my Manchester or Wigan clinics in person, your consultation can be done via phone or online to ensure that you are comfortable and feel relaxed with the counselling process.
