Hello, I am an accredited therapist who provides confidential counselling to adult individuals over the age of 18. BACP accreditation recognises the achievement of knowledge, experience and development in psychotherapy. To achieve accreditation you must complete a rigorous application and assessment process.I offer a warm, compassionate environment in which we can explore and understand the challenges that you are facing. I believe passionately in the power of therapy and feel that every individual should have the opportunity, time and space to talk openly without the fear of judgement. I believe that the relationship between client and counsellor is vitally important. Our relationship will be built on trust and respect. I welcome people from all faiths, backgrounds, cultures and LGBTQ communities with a non-judgmental approach.I undertake regular training and attend monthly supervision to enhance my practice and comply with BACP requirements. Within my work I have helped people who have been struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, anger and bereavement.I have previously worked for a counselling charity based in Manchester where I saw adult individuals on a weekly basis. I have also worked within an NHS setting offering bereavement counselling; this included bereavement resulting from sudden death and long term illness.I have also worked in an educational setting for twenty five years. Therefore, I have unique understanding of the challenges faced by young people today. I also recognise the demands placed on those working within the teaching profession and the educational sector.
