I am a person-centred counsellor, which means in my approach the whole person is central and leads the sessions rather than the issue you come with. I do not work in a prescriptive way.

I have been practising since 1996
and most of my work has been in clinical settings both NHS and private health and more recently private practice. I see adults, young people and couples and will consider home visits.
I have a particular specialism in Eating Disorders [8yrs EDU] and bereavement, but have encountered, self-harm, abuse, employment, anxiety, depression, stress, sexual issues, domestic violence.
However, despite what as a client you bring to a session the focus would always be your needs, your pace giving you acceptance and trust to explore your world without judgement or discrimination to help gain understanding.

My setting is professional yet informal, it's a very safe, confidential and relaxing atmosphere. Appointments are available Day-time/evenings and occasional weekends.

I believe it is important to take a holistic approach to achieve lasting happiness and well-being.

I have a specialist interest in personal-growth / meditation.

I offer effective, evidenced based therapies (e.g. CBT, CAT, Mindfulness) & cutting edge techniques (EFT & Voice Dialogue) to help a wide range of stress-related, emotional, relationship and physical health issues.
My desire is to help you improve your potential; to break through barriers to empower you to achieve your goals/ values, well-being and ultimately feel in control of your life. My diverse skills are tailored to meet your needs. Sessions are confidential.

I have seen many amazing benefits of Reiki healing - used in both the prevention and cure of physical illness and stress-related difficulties. I offer treatments and full training. I practice in Manchester/ Lancashire/ Cheshire. I am registered with healthcare insurance companies.
I am happy to answer questions.






ABOUT COUNSELLING...


COUNSELLING is a way for you to talk about and explore your feelings in a safe and confidential environment, something you may find difficult or impossible to do with family or friends. Counsellors are trained to listen, support and assist you in your desire to make positive changes in your life, without judgement, criticism or attempting to influence you towards a particular course of action.

Although Counselling may be offered within many holistic professions as an integral part of their service (sometimes referred to as spiritual counselling), this usually refers to the use of listening skills and intuitive responses, relating to the client's soul purpose, life choices or difficulties encountered with spiritual beliefs.

The commonly understood term Counselling, however, generally refers to the therapy offered by highly trained professional counsellors, which is often integrated with Psychotherapeutic practices as a way of resolving difficulties. Whereas Psychotherapy may be beneficial for people with deeper, ongoing problems, Counselling may be more suitable in the short term, perhaps helping you to deal with a recent emotionally painful episode such as bereavement, the break up of a relationship, or losing a job.
This is only a general guideline however, and Counselling sessions can last over a longer period of time if necessary, depending on the issues that arise.

By creating the space for you to talk freely and release any bottled up feelings you may have, such as grief, anger, anxiety or guilt, counselling can help you better understand these feelings, where they are coming from and what triggers them off. A trained Counsellor will listen in an attentive and supportive way, to try and gain an understanding of your point of view, and by helping you to work through your problems as they surface, you begin to see things from a different and more positive perspective.

Regular commitment to attending Counselling sessions is a part of the process, and sessions are generally held at least once a week - this allows the relationship between the client and the counsellor to develop into one of confidence and trust.

Counsellors undergo different types of training, and employ various methods of working within their profession. These can these include Person-Centred Counselling, Behavioural and Cognitive therapies, plus many more, and one type might be more suitable than another for a particular problem.

To find out which method best meets your requirements, or for in-depth explanations about Counselling and related therapies, the 'Mind' charity website is an excellent source of information: www.mind.org.co.uk/Information.htm
