she/her
PG Dip Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy, 20+ yrs experience.
I support adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, addiction, relationship challenges, confidence, self-esteem, bereavement….
Whatever has brought you here, there’s no pressure right now to have it all figured out.
Readiness to engage is an important part of the process and you may wish to dip your toe, scratch the surface, or dive right in and hit the ground running in therapy. I am able to hold a safe space, while you figure out the best options going forward.
I tailor every session to your individual needs, because no two people and no two journeys are the same.
I care about therapy being accessible. Traditionally, private therapy has often felt out of reach unless you have a high income, and that doesn’t sit well with my values. My aim is to offer high-quality support at fair rates, with a small number of reduced-fee spaces for students and low/one income households (subject to availability).

Background
I’ve worked across a range of settings alongside private practice. In 2023 I relocated from Manchester to the Ribble Valley and delivered perpetrator behavioural change programmes in Lancashire. Other roles include counselling within a specialist Tier 4 residential rehabilitation unit for substance misuse, and working with EAP services as well as drug and alcohol daycare services.
