ABOUT ME
​
In most of my work, I help people understand and navigate relationship patterns and difficulties and to find freedom from painful relational dynamics. So whether you’re struggling with an intimate or sexual relationship, with sex or sexual function, or whether you are feeling unhappy with a friendship or family bond, I have the experience to help.
​
Although working with intimate and close relationships is my area of specialism, I also have extensive experience in helping people with broader issues such as with anxiety, depression, loneliness, identity, work-related stress, sex, sexuality or self-esteem. Even if you can’t quite pinpoint what’s wrong but feel that something isn’t right, that’s okay too.
​
As an Accredited BACP therapist, I’ve undergone rigorous assessments that ensure high standards of practice, including skills, theoretical understanding and self-awareness.
​
I was trained at the University of Salford on the BACP-accredited Person-Centred PGDip in Counselling & Psychotherapy course; I also draw on aspects of TA (Transactional Analysis), psychodynamic theory and the IFS (Internal Family Systems) model.
​
I have a psychosexual qualification accredited by the leading sex and relationships professional body, COSRT after training with the Grove for a L5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy.
​
My couples training is with Juliet Grayson and is approved by the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP).
​
You can learn more about me and my approach on my podcast This Won’t Fix You, or as a contributor to the Counselling Tutor Podcast.
​
I am also available to speak publicly about limerence and obsessive love. If you are looking for help in this area, you may be interested to know that I’m taking expressions of interest for a course I’ll be running in the new year, designed for those seeking relief from love that feels painful. You can sign up for alerts on the homepage.
I work from a large, comfortable consulting room in central Manchester. I work online too.
