I offer a warm, non-judgemental confidential counselling service in the heart of Greater Manchester. I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT), who is Accredited by the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) with a background in Humanistic Counselling and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
Over the years I have provided Counselling and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to a number of psychological services and have had the privilege and experience of teaching as a Lecturer in Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Salford.
My training journey has been Wigan, Lancashire, Salford and Manchester and previously I have worked throughout the Northwest for local and national charities, schools and colleges, Lancashire Mind, Private Occupational Health and NHS Primary Mental Health Team.
I work with Adults, Young People and Couples, helping with a number of problems that may include - Anxiety, Bereavement, Child related issues, Abuse, Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post- traumatic stress (PTSD), Relationship issues, Pregnancy related issues, & Stress.
My client base covers the Northwest, including - Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire and Lancashire, I also work nationally and internationally with clients/couples/groups using internet, online resources. Referrals to my private practice come through as self- referrals, G.P referrals, Healthcare Organisations, Psychology Services, Insurance companies and Solicitors.
There are options in how you can attend the sessions, whether face to face (including outdoor ecotherapy) or if preferred, we can work online. (This also applies to working with therapeutic groups and supervisees.) My Wigan based practice also offers Clinical Supervision, Group Therapy, Eco-Therapy and provides bespoke workshops within the Northwest.
As my background involves working with both Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT) and Humanistic Psychology I am able to draw on my experience and knowledge to integrate these therapies into our work. My practice is a ground floor office near the centre of Wigan offering easy access. There is ample street parking, as well as it being 5/10min walking distance to both the train and bus station.
If you would like to get in touch, I offer a free 20min introductory session to see if I'm the right person to help you. This is also a good opportunity for you to get a feel of who I am and how I work.
Ground floor rooms with access to toilet and kitchen facilities. Anytime - Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Other days and times available on request.
