*Online sessions*

I offer sessions online during the daytime and evening.

Weekend sessions also available.

My sessions offer a genuine, warm, non clinical safe place for you to talk to someone in confidence who listens without judgement, which may help you make sense of things and understand yourself better. 

I help my clients to; 

*Manage anxiety

*Low mood and depression

*Work through and process bereavement and loss

*Improve self-esteem and a sense of self-worth

*Explore transitional stages of life, including motherhood, middle age, relationship issues the menopause and retirement.

I offer no-judgement and welcome clients to share whatever is creating pain for them – no matter how dark the thoughts and feelings may be. Whilst my core therapeutic approach is person-centred my training and ongoing life learning helps me integrate other approaches where it feels helpful – I will adapt my therapy to the unique needs of my clients.

The first session is the opportunity to assess, with no obligation whether clients feel comfortable with me and their surroundings. Initially you may wish to ask questions about my counselling, qualifications and approach with no commitment to attend further sessions should you feel I am not the right option for you.

Our first session will allow us to set boundaries, discuss re-arranging or cancelling sessions, go through my confidentiality policy and other contractual agreements including what you are looking to gain from therapy, accessibility needs including any necessary adjustments or any worries or concerns you may have. 

My availability for sessions:

*Face to face in Sale, Manchester

*Online sessions via google meet

*I offer evening and daytime appointments

*With prior notice I can also work some weekends

My sessions offer a genuine, warm, non clinical safe place for you to talk to someone in confidence who listens without judgement, which may help you make sense of things and understand yourself better.  

I work in a warm, empathetic, accepting manner. I work from a person-centred approach where the sessions are client-led and we will work with what you choose to bring to the session. I am also an experienced solution focused therapist alongside. I offer no-judgement and welcome clients to share whatever is creating pain for them – no matter how dark the thoughts and feelings may be. 

Storing up difficult feelings and worries for a long time, bravely battling on alone can take its toll. Making the decision to seek counselling support can be daunting therefore I offer an initial, no obligation consultation allowing you to decide whether you wish to proceed. 

My sessions are open ended, meaning they can continue for as long as you feel necessary. Whilst it is common for sessions to be held once a week I will work with you and your needs and do not insist on weekly sessions.  

My sessions typically last for 50 minutes. 

I have a beautiful therapy room based in central Sale (South Manchester) where I can offer face to face therapy in a confidential, warm, welcoming space which may help take you away from your daily environment which can help unlock pent up emotions, worries and fears. 

My Practice is wheelchair friendly and has disabled toilet facilities alongside. 

My focus will be to encourage you to find the answers that lie within you. This may involve reflection and gentle challenging which can help you to view your feelings, behaviours and patterns of thinking more clearly which in turn may encourage positive change.
