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 regularly work with clients who need short-term, focused therapy to help with a specific problem or life event. I also work with clients over a longer period — sometimes because they are processing complex trauma, and sometimes because they value having a consistent space with a skilled clinician to navigate life’s challenges. You’ll find reflections from both short-term and long-term work on my testimonials page.

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.

Specialist areas of expertise

Psychological trauma

I work extensively with trauma, supporting people through both single‑incident events and complex trauma beginning in childhood.

In recent years, a proportion of my clinical work has centred on medical trauma and traumatic grief, areas in which I’ve developed particular depth.

Whatever someone has been through, the focus is on helping them feel safer, less overwhelmed by triggers, and more able to move forward with steadiness and compassion for themselves.

Self-esteem including

  • Imposter syndrome, perfectionism and people pleasing
  • When our self-esteem is challenged by life transitions such as illness, work changes, becoming a parent, or by loss.
  • Understanding and embracing our own unique characteristics (including creativity and introversion)

The psychological impact of physical health including

  • Living with a cancer diagnosis or long term condition
  • Psychological trauma in medical/surgical settings
  • Coping with long term health conditions
  • Loss and grief
  • Psychological challenges related to fertility

Session practicalities

I am currently accepting self funding clients and insurance clients from AXA and WPA only. My self funding rate is £130 per 45-50 minute session.

I offer online sessions (via zoom) and face to face in Sale (M33), South Manchester.

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.
