About the Therapist

About the therapist:

Life can bring unexpected challenges that leave you feeling deeply isolated, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. Whether you are dealing with a recent bereavement, ongoing relationship difficulties, or a general sense of hopelessness, your feelings deserve a safe, validating space to be explored.

My practice is built on honesty, transparency, and collaboration. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, we will look at your unique experiences together to understand what is keeping you stuck and discover how you can move forward with confidence.

To ensure therapy fits comfortably into your life, I offer complete flexibility in how we meet:

Face-to-Face Sessions: Welcoming you into a comfortable, completely confidential physical space in Salford.
Online & Telephone Sessions: Allowing you to access high-quality therapy from the comfort of your own home anywhere in the UK.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting. Because of this, I provide an open, straightforward, and supportive environment where you can speak freely without fear of judgment.

Experience and approach:

My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I tailor my skills to suit your specific goals. I bring extensive experience across the public, private, and charity sectors, allowing me to support clients facing a wide spectrum of mental health challenges.

I actively work within the NHS as a specialist counsellor for depression. This clinical role keeps me at the forefront of evidence-based psychological frameworks, giving me a deep understanding of how to effectively treat persistent low mood, emotional stagnation, and anxiety patterns.

Additionally, I have spent five years working within and supporting sexual violence charities in the third sector. This background has given me specialized expertise in trauma recovery, helping individuals navigate the complex emotional aftermath of past abuse, grief, and life-altering events.

I frequently support individuals and couples navigating:

Depression & Low Mood: Breaking free from exhaustion, hopelessness, and lack of motivation.
Anxiety & Panic: Managing intrusive worries, chronic stress, and social anxieties.
Bereavement & Loss: Processing grief, life transitions, and identity changes.
Relationship Difficulties: Improving communication, managing conflict, and repairing emotional connections.
