More about me and my practice

I've always viewed therapy as a tool. A tool that can be used to facilitate growth and change. Its a space to be seen, heard and acknowledged. An opportunity to learn new skills and practice them without fear of the repercussions. To explore your own internal world. In the words of Bessel van de Kolk “Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel, is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going inside ourselves.” Therapy is a space that's just for you, in a world that doesn't prioritise that enough.

In my Private Practice I work with adults over the age of 18. This includes individuals of all genders, sexual orientation, religious and spiritual beliefs. Sessions are offered on a short or long term basis to meet your needs, face to face in my office in Macclesfield or online via Zoom.

Experience

I have extensive experience working in the mental health and wellbeing arena. Currently I share my time between two therapeutic roles.

The first as an Integrative Counsellor in my own Private Practice which I opened in 2018, offering individual 1-2-1 therapy sessions. In my second role, I am a member of the therapy team at The Priory Hospital Altrincham. I have worked at The Priory since 2015 in varying supportive roles. Initially supporting inpatient clients receiving psychiatric care, this gave me in-depth experience of working with individuals in crisis. In 2021 I moved from working on the wards to the onsite therapy team. Here I deliver group therapy, bespoke workshops, and 1-2-1 therapy sessions to inpatient and outpatient individuals.

Prior to my current roles I worked for Beacon Counselling Stockport (2017-2019), as an Integrative Counsellor on their Private Practice service, and as a mentor for Pure Insight (2014-2016), a local charity who support care leavers as they transition to independent living.
