Welcome
I am an integrative therapist, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), and my work is guided by their ethical framework.
I work with individual adults (18+) in-person and online from my practice in Chorlton, Manchester.
I offer both long-term and short-term therapy, depending on clients’ preferences and needs.
My Practice
I believe that challenges are inevitable over the course of a life, and it can be useful to seek support rather than suffer alone.
Therapy is a unique opportunity for you to understand your relationship patterns and liberate yourself from behaviours that are no longer serving you.
In my practice I will gently encourage you to bring your whole self into the room, even those parts that might feel messy, scared or confused. I aim to create a safe, collaborative and confidential space where you can share your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
I am committed to non-discriminatory practice, and welcome clients of all identities, cultures, faiths, genders and sexualities, as well as those with health conditions or disabilities.

I work with clients on a range of emotional experiences, including:
Depression and anxiety
Loneliness and isolation
Relationship difficulties (with partners, friends, family members or colleagues)
Grief and loss
Pregnancy and parenthood
Confidence, self-esteem and resilience
Negative body image and disordered eating
Trauma (including sexual abuse, domestic violence and intergenerational trauma)
Identity issues (culture, race, gender, sexuality, disability)
Existential issues (including life transitions, meaning and purpose)
Our Sessions
Making contact
Reaching out can feel scary, but my aim is to put you at ease when you make contact. If you are interested in working together, the first step is to send me an email, or give me a call or text. If I am unavailable, you can leave a message and I will get back to you within 24 hours. We’ll discuss what regular session times are available, and whether you might like therapy online or in-person.
First session
We will then meet for a 50-minute assessment. This will give us the chance to get to know one another, and decide if we make a good fit. We’ll discuss what’s bringing you to therapy and your aims and expectations. You may also have questions for me and the kind of therapy I offer. All information in the assessment will remain confidential. This session is charged at my usual fee, and it is entirely without further obligation.
Our ongoing work
If we decide to work together, we will agree upon a counselling contract outlining the terms of the therapy. We will then meet at the same time and day each week going forward.
