I am currently accepting new clients for face-to-face counselling in Wigan, as well as online and telephone counselling throughout the UK.

I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy and aim to be flexible where possible to accommodate work, family and other commitments.

A free 20–30 minute telephone or online consultation is available before booking your first session. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions and talk about what you are looking for from counselling.

Please contact me to discuss current availability.

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, loss, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life. I offer a safe, confidential and supportive space where you can explore what is happening for you and find a way forward.

I am a qualified counsellor since 2002, with 20 years experience supporting people through life's challenges. During this time, I have worked within GP and NHS-related services, relationship counselling services, LGBTQ+ organisations, private practice and young people community-based support roles.

My approach is integrative, with a strong person-centred foundation as I believe that each person is unique and that therapy should be tailored to your individual needs. I aim to offer a warm, accepting and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.

I have recently completed Level 5 training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) allowing me to integrate practical CBT tools and techniques where these may be helpful.

I work with adults of all ages and welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I aim to provide a respectful and collaborative therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore whatever is important to you.
