I work with adult clients and am trained in a range of therapy approaches. My approach is highly tailored to each client after considering their presenting difficulties, goals and preferences. I believe that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ when it comes to therapy and I value getting to know clients and working together to find the right approach.
I am an Accredited EMDR Practitioner and use this approach with many of my clients in ways that are best suited to their circumstances. I see EMDR as a highly effective tool to use as part of therapy.
I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and have worked with many clients from the LGBTQ+ community.

Session practicalities
I’m currently accepting new clients. I offer online sessions (via zoom) and face to face in Sale, South Manchester.
I am registered with major insurers inlcuding Bupa, AXA and WPA. My self funding rate is £130 per 45-50 minute session.
I am insured to work with clients internationally, and I regularly support people based outside the UK. The exception is the United States, where state‑specific licensing laws mean I am unable to provide psychological services to clients residing there. If you are unsure whether I can work with you, please get in touch.
Please note, I do not offer a crisis service. If you are concerned about your mental health please contact your general practitioner or local crisis service.
