My Approach

You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. Maybe you're carrying a lot right now: stress, sadness, worry, or a sense that something just isn’t quite right. Whatever is going on for you right now, you don’t have to figure it out all by yourself.

I'm not here to "fix" you. I'm here to understand you, to listen without judgment, help you make sense of what’s going on, and walk alongside you as you find your way through it.

Adults

You might be dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, substance use, or simply feeling stuck in a cycle you can’t seem to break. Whatever you’re holding, we’ll work together to gently explore what’s going on, at your own pace.

We can look at where certain patterns or feelings might come from, how they’re affecting you now, and how to create space for new ways of coping. I’ll offer practical strategies you can use day to day, whether that’s managing anxiety, handling big emotions, or setting better boundaries.

I offer 50-minute one-to-one counselling sessions online and in person in Wilmslow, Cheshire and South Manchester. Both options give you a safe, and private space where you can talk freely and focus on yourself wherever you’re most comfortable.

If you're unsure whether therapy is right for you, I offer a free 15-minute consultation call so you can ask questions, share what’s going on, and see how it feels to connect.

Teens and Young People

Being young doesn’t mean your struggles are small. Growing up today can feel really tough, with pressures from school, exams, friendships, social media, and family life. I work with children and teenagers aged 5 to 18 who are experiencing challenges such as anxiety, OCD, exam stress, low self-esteem, self-harm, grief, trauma, or feeling stuck and unsure of themselves.

I specialise in supporting neurodiverse young people, including those with ADHD and autism. Therapy through play can provide tools to help explore emotional regulation, social difficulties, sensory needs, or the stress of navigating school and friendships when you see or experience the world a little differently.

Therapy with me isn’t a lecture or a test, it’s a safe, supportive space where young people can talk openly, use creative tools, or simply take time to process in their own way. I adapt sessions to what feels most natural and comfortable for each individual, whether that’s through gentle conversations, creative techniques, or practical strategies.

My aim is to help young people feel calmer, more confident, and better able to manage their emotions and challenges, while giving them tools they can carry forward into everyday life.

Families

Let’s be honest, family life can be messy. Emotions run high, everyone’s juggling something, and sometimes it just feels like no one’s really hearing each other. That’s where I come in.

I offer family counselling in your home, a relaxed and supportive setting where we can work together to untangle tricky dynamics, ease conflict, and rebuild connection. Whether you're navigating big changes, parenting challenges, or long-standing tensions, I’ll support your family to communicate more clearly and move forward with more understanding and trust.

How I Work

My approach is collaborative, warm, and real. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I tailor each session to your unique story, using a mix of approaches depending on what works best for you.

I draw on tools from CBT when helpful, especially for anxiety, OCD, or unhelpful thought patterns, but our work together will always come back to you: your voice, your pace, your goals.

Whether we’re working together online, in-person, or in your family home, my aim is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely seen.

A Final Word

Therapy isn’t always easy, but it can be incredibly meaningful. It’s not about having all the answers; it’s about being willing to show up, get curious, and take steps toward something better.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. I offer a free 15-minute call to talk things through and see if we’re a good fit.
