I'm a BACP registered, person-centred counsellor based in Congleton, Cheshire, offering face-to-face sessions locally and online sessions across the UK.

I first encountered the power of counselling when I, myself, felt lost and unsure how to resolve what was going on in my life. Counselling helped me understand the patterns in my life that weren't helpful to me, and to make changes towards feeling more happiness, more contentment, and more like myself. That experience is part of what led me to train as a counsellor.

My approach

My approach is person-centred, which means we cultivate an equal relationship: no one else can be the expert of your life but you. As the client, you lead the direction of each session, discussing what feels right for you each time. I'm not there to offer my opinion or advice, but to listen and walk alongside you through the counselling journey.

I have a wealth of experience helping people understand difficult relationships, and I've taught mindfulness practices for over 15 years, drawing on some of those calming techniques within sessions where they might be useful to you.

Qualifications and registration

I hold a Level 4 Counselling Diploma and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working within their ethical framework for the counselling professions.

I have experience working with relational issues, including domestic abuse and violence, alongside the wider range of difficulties clients bring to sessions.

Areas I can help with

Every client's situation is different, and you don't need to fit neatly into a category to get in touch. Some of the areas I regularly work with include:

If you don't see your situation listed here, please get in touch anyway. I offer a free consultation so we can talk through whether counselling with me feels like the right fit.

Getting started

I offer a free 20-minute telephone or online consultation before we begin, so we can talk through what's bringing you to counselling and how we might work together, with no obligation to continue. Sessions take place face-to-face in Congleton or online, whichever suits you best.
