About me

Qualified status:

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). As an Accredited Member, I have met the BACP’s higher standard as a competent, ethical and independent practitioner and have demonstrated my commitment to the BACP’s shared value of higher standards, which safeguards clients ensuring you have access to a competent and ethical practitioner and gives you peace of mind that your Counsellor has undergone rigorous training and continued professional development in the field of counselling and psychotherapy.

I believe that counselling changes lives.

I have extensive experience working in a variety of settings with clients bringing their own unique challenges to overcome.

I am always heartened by the courage and strength in people, and by using a collaborative, warm and open approach to counselling, I have seen how powerful the counselling process can be in creating new awareness in ourselves, which can lead to real lasting change in our lives.

Today, I am finding joy in my private practice, Dynamics Counselling Service, which I launched six years ago. Most weeks you will find me working online with clients, alongside working as a clinical supervisor, supporting counsellors with their clinical work. Additionally, I teach counselling at a college and local university, which is an enjoyable part of my practice.

I have always enjoyed research and I am currently putting together my Doctorate research proposal, examining rupture and repair in clinical supervision, which is proving to be a fascinating and rich experience.

I live and work in Greater Manchester. When I’m not working, you will probably find me off in my campervan with my little rescue dog, Fudge, doing lots of walking and exploring new places.
