I have flexible availability and offer morning, afternoon and evening sessions. Do get in touch for booking queries.

Welcome! If there are issues in your life you would like to work on, then I can help you. I know that reaching out for support can be difficult at first and I will make the process as easy as possible for you. Deciding on the right therapist and the right approach can be confusing and I am happy to chat with you to find your best options.

I am a person-centred therapist and an EMDR therapist and I have many years of experience working with a wide variety of clients and presenting issues. This enables me to provide the best support to you. My wide range of experience means that I can help you with many issues including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, bullying, workplace issues, and more. In addition, I have a particular interest and expertise working with anxiety, stress, self-esteem and confidence issues.

For over fourteen years I have been helping people to overcome their difficulties and empowering them to manage their well-being. As everyone is an individual, I use my experience to tailor all support to you.

I take a holistic approach to your well-being and will work with you to both address your underlying issues and build your resilience. I also have a strong interest in the healing power of Nature which forms part of my ongoing doctoral research.

I provide counselling, EMDR, coaching and mentoring and I also run a variety of courses and workshops. If you are unsure which route is best for you, do reach out for a friendly chat about your needs.

To discuss your needs and to get started, do get in touch today. Together we’ll find out what it is that is getting in the way of things. We’ll then work through what is troubling you and I will give you the understanding, tools and techniques to empower you to manage and overcome those negative feelings.

As a vegan therapist I also offer a safe space for any vegan clients to navigate any particular issues they may be experiencing.

I have been providing therapy to individuals and businesses across Merseyside and the North-West, as well as nationwide, via my private practice for the last eleven years.

I use my wide range of experience to provide a professional, warm tailored service, helping you to move forward positively and build your resilience.

In addition to my private practice, I also have considerable experience gained through working with a large national mental health charity, survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, as well as extensive experience of EAP and occupational health.

I take a holistic approach to your well-being and am also an EMDR therapist, a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist; a Reiki Master Teacher, a Life Coach, a Mentor, a Student Mentor and a Wellbeing Practitioner. 

I offer all services online and/or via telephone. This means I can work with clients nationwide. It can also make it easier for you to fit your sessions into your schedule. 

Although I have vast experience working with a wide variety of issues, I have a particular interest and expertise in the following areas:

• Anxiety
• Stress
• Phobias
• Recovering from abusive relationships
• Personal development
• Self-esteem
• Confidence-building
• Workplace issues
• EAP
• Climate anxiety
• Vegan issues

Take that first step today and get in touch for a friendly discussion about your needs and your options. I look forward to hearing from you.

During our first session we will discuss what has brought you to therapy and find out what you would like to achieve with your sessions. This will help us to plan a way forward which is tailored to you.

I am happy to have a chat with you about your needs prior to booking your session.

I am a Clinical Supervisor with a Person-Centered background. I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ Accredited Member and hold a certificate in Clinical Supervision. I am also a Doctoral researcher.

I use the Seven Eyed Model of Supervision.

I provide a safe and supportive space for supervisees to reflect on their client work and build their skills. Supervision is a supportive space, enabling you to provide safe and ethical support to your clients, whilst maintaining your own well-being and developing your professional skills.

I am pleased that you have come to find out more about my practice and I encourage you to get in touch for a friendly chat about your needs. I am always happy to answer any questions you may have.

For over fourteen years I have worked with a wide range of clients and presenting issues and also in a number of settings including Private Practice, Occupational Health, EAP, Rape Crisis and domestic abuse support and mental health charities.

I believe it is incredibly important to provide a safe and supportive space to both clients and supervisees, to ensure that you get the most out of our sessions. When we work together, I provide you with a space to explore and develop your client work and also to develop your practice and professional development. I tailor all sessions and work to your particular needs, as everyone is an individual.

I work with therapists working in a variety of settings and I have a particular interest in working with supervisees in private practice. I also enjoy working with trainees as they develop their skills.

I am experienced in facilitating consultative support and reflective practice groups.

I welcome you to get in touch for a chat if you would like to find out more.

Our first session will be a space to discuss supervision and how we will work together.

We will discuss the supervision contract, along with frequency of sessions to ensure a smooth start to our work together.
