About me and my therapy practice
Welcome to my profile. Contacting a psychotherapist can be daunting and it’s a challenge to choose between different therapists and approaches. This aim of this profile is to help you decide if I might be the right therapist for you.
I am an integrative psychotherapist based in Bury. I create a safe and nurturing space where we can explore together what has brought you to therapy. I will listen with openness and warmth, helping you to discover and trust your own insight and wisdom. I will encourage you to reflect deeply and support you as you work towards change. I believe that psychotherapy can help identify and address barriers to living the way we want, support us in finding more compassionate ways of relating to ourselves and equip us with the tools we need to find our way forward.
Practice description
I have spent over 15 years working in a one-to-one listening role, helping people reflect on what matters most to them and supporting people through major life decisions. This experience motivated me to train as a psychotherapist. I am particularly interested in working with people with depression, anxiety and chronic illnesses such as arthritis, CFS/ME and fibromyalgia. I have worked with people going through relationship difficulties and with those experiencing issues of religious and cultural identity.
I have completed an MA (with distinction) in Integrative Psychotherapy and an MSc (with distinction) in Psychology.
