Often our anxieties and difficulties can weigh us down and we are unable to find a way forward. Our thoughts and feelings can be confusing and talking to friends and relatives about our concerns may be too difficult. I provide a confidential, safe, respectful and non-judgemental space in which you can explore your difficulties, gain insight and discover a way forward.

I am an experienced BACP Accredited Counsellor and hold an MA in Clinical Counselling. I provide a counselling relationship where you are heard, understood and accepted. This is extremely powerful because it allows you to open up and express all of your emotions, feelings and thoughts. This new awareness and clarity leads to the potential for positive change.

The foundation of my therapeutic work is Person Centred. I firmly believe that we are our own best expert but that sometimes we need a helping hand to find ourselves again. Where appropriate I also use other therapeutic techniques,  EMDR for trauma, CBT, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused.

I have counselling experience as an NHS Staff Counsellor; Mental Health Social Inclusion; a Counselling Charity and Employee Assistance Service Providers. I hold Professional Recognition with Aviva, Aetna, AXA PPP Healthcare and Vitality Health.

My specialist areas of interest are Anxiety and its management; and Trauma. I have carried out a considerable amount of research into trauma, in particular perinatal difficulties, for example, miscarriage, stillbirth and traumatic childbirth. A chapter in the book "Listening to less heard voices" by P Gubi is based on my research into the impact of traumatic childbirth  

I know that deciding whether counselling is right for you can be daunting, never mind deciding which counsellor is a good match for you. I therefore offer a 20 minute consultation, free of charge, which can help you make your decision.

Since training in EMDR over 5 years ago, much of my work has become trauma focused. 

My specialist areas of interest include Trauma, whether this be a one off incident or prolonged exposure; anxiety and it's management;  and perinatal difficulties such as birth trauma. My research into traumatic birth has been published and a chapter is dedicated to it in "Listening to less heard voices" Editor Peter Gubi. .

Having worked in Manchester for most of my professional life, I  have recently relocated to Leeds. As I still get many referrals from Manchester, I have decided to offer online therapy to my Manchester clients. For those seeking trauma work and EMDR, I use an online platform specifically developed for for EMDR therapists. I find the vast majority of clients are very happy with this way of working and many prefer the flexibility and time efficiency it provides.
