I work Monday - Thursday 9am - 6.30pm

It can be daunting to choose a therapist online before meeting in person so let me share a little information that may help you in your search.

I believe that effective therapy is not "a one size fits all" approach and your individual needs are always a priority here.

Life can sometimes be challenging, we can all benefit from extra support from time to time & during your sessions you will find an understanding and confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences. 

Talking therapy can help you to overcome pain from past events, relieve the symptoms of mental health issues or just learn to deal with 'life' more effectively. 

The foundation of our work together is underpinned by establishing a high quality therapeutic relationship. This enables us to work together in a way that is professional & safe. My aim is to support you while you work out a way forward by offering a non-judgmental space where the focus is on you.

I am an Integrative Therapist. My therapeutic qualification is in Psychotherapeutic Counselling.  I can use a variety of different therapeutic techniques to enable us to work through your therapy goals together. 

I have specialist baby loss counselling training to support parents who have suffered pregnancy complications, the loss of a pregnancy or the death of a baby. 

I am also a qualified ADHD Coach and can provide therapeutic support if you or a loved one are struggling to process a recent diagnosis or would like to learn some effective management techniques.

I am a Certified Telephone and Online Therapist. I offer both face to face sessions and online therapy via Zoom.

As well as in Private Practice, I have experience of working for a local Hospice Bereavement Counselling Service, the NHS Staff Counselling Service, (as a volunteer and on contract), A Domestic Violence Service, Private companies, Occupational Health Programs, Local Authority & EAPs.

My practice is based in a beautiful Victorian building, a multidisciplinary clinic, in the heart of North Staffordshire.

I work with individuals (18+)

I offer a concessionary rate of £45 to Student Counsellors/Counsellors in training. (Limited places)

Your first session will be up to 1 hour to allow us time to work through our contract, Â鶹ԭ´´ ethical practice & GDPR information at the beginning of the appointment and to answer any questions you may have.

Subsequent appointments are 50 minutes.

Longer appointment of 90 minutes are available by prior request.

If you do not wish to commit to long term therapy at the moment but would still like to benefit from an appointment, I offer a 90 minute 'Single Session Therapy' (sometimes known as ONEplus therapy) in person or on Zoom where I aim to support you as much as possible in one session so that you have the opportunity to start to identify and make the changes you seek. Of course, further support is available if you feel it is needed.
