About me and my therapy practice

Hello and welcome.

I am a highly-experienced, BACP-registered, integrative counsellor and I offer clients a compassionate, warm counselling experience.

I have previously worked for NSPCC and Macmillan in Trafford as well as NHS and educational settings. I have worked as a counsellor for 14+ years and have a wide range of skills and knowledge to support you.

I have 30+ years of experience in Neurodiversity (Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia /DCD, Tourette Syndrome and Dyslexia).

I have a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and an additional Certificate in Counselling for Bereavement and Loss. My practice is trauma-informed and I have a wealth of experience in supporting survivors of abuse and neglect.

As a Fine Art graduate, I can work creatively with clients, helping you to find ways to express yourself and your unique life experiences.

I offer counselling for individuals, couples, families and groups in Greater Manchester and online nationwide. Using a therapeutic approach called integrative therapy, we can work together using a range of techniques tailored to suit your needs.

You can talk to me about anything.You might know exactly what you want to talk about in counselling or it could be that you have a general sense of not feeling okay and need help unravelling it. There's no right or wrong way to begin.

In our counselling sessions, I will offer you compassion and authenticity. We can work on any challenges together, at your pace, without pressure.

If you have hopes and dreams of how you'd like life to be, we can look at these one by one, discussing any options that might help you move closer to achieving the things you wish for.

I would love to hear from you. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to get in touch on 07713 802 951. Call or send a text. Alternatively, you can email me at hello@jellyfishcounselling.co.uk . We can arrange an initial telephone consultation at a time that works for you.

My first session

Our initial consultation:

When we first speak over the phone for a free 15 minute consultation, I'll ask about what's brought you to counselling. How much you share is totally up to you. You can ask any questions you have.

Then, if you'd like to book an appointment, we can find a time to suit you.

I know that it can take a lot to reach out. We will work together to create a positive therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable to be yourself. Building on this, we can then explore what's troubling you and help you find your way again.
