MY THERAPY APPROACH
-

HUMANISTIC FIRST
I value the therapeutic relationship above all. I work to create an environment where you feel heard, understood and respected.
-

TRAUMA INFORMED & COLLABORATIVE
We will co-create a therapeutic plan that feels right for you, working together at a pace that is safe and manageable
-

EMPOWERING & INCLUSIVE
I am neurodiversity-informed, queer-affirming, and committed to anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive practice

I'm a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor based in Manchester City Centre, offering both in-person and online sessions throughout the UK. I offer short and long-term therapy, working with a range of experiences including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse. I have a particular interest in, and significant experience of, working with people within the neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ communities.
My aim is to offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted, and begin to make sense of the things that matter to you. I believe that feeling safe enough to be yourself, without fear of judgement, is an important part of the therapeutic process.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in empathy, genuineness and respect for your individual experiences. I hope to support you in developing a greater understanding of yourself, exploring patterns and experiences that may feel difficult or confusing, and recognising what you need moving forward. Therapy isn't about becoming someone else, but about having the space to understand yourself more deeply and feel more empowered to make choices that feel right for you.
I recognise that taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, and finding the right therapist can sometimes feel overwhelming. You don't need to know exactly what you want to work on or where to begin. Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to ask any questions or discuss how we might work together.
I support adults across a wide range of emotional and psychological experiences. I have particular interest and experience in:
Women’s & AFAB health issues (e.g. PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS, menopause, fertility)
ADHD and Autism (formally diagnosed or self-identified)
LGBTQIA identity, relationships and wellbeing
Other areas I support include:
Depression and low mood
Anxiety and panic
Low self-esteem and perfectionism
Trauma and PTSD
Relational difficulties
Work stress and burnout
