therapeutic support that meets you where you are at

Compassionate therapeutic support that meets you where you are at

Counselling with me is a space where you can just be yourself and know you’ll be met with care and understanding. Whether life feels a bit too much right now, you’re going through a big change, or you just want to get more in tune with yourself, I’ll be here to meet you where you’re at.

my approach

  • A small green seedling sprouting in dark soil with a blurred background.

    My work is grounded in a humanistic approach


    I believe in your capacity to grow, heal, and reconnect with your authentic self when you’re met with the right support.

    I’m committed to holding a safe, compassionate space


    I meet you with empathy, integrity, and care, creating a relationship where you can feel seen and understood.

    I take a cycle-aware approach


    Even if your cycle isn’t the reason you’re here, I keep in mind that your energy, emotions, and needs will ebb and flow. I’ll always meet you where you’re at.

    All parts of you are welcome with me


    I offer support without judgement, helping you explore both the lighter and more shadowy parts of yourself. All of you is welcome here

    Your neurodivergence matters to me


    I value and respect neurodivergent ways of being without focusing on deficits. Therapy is about exploring your needs in a way that honours you rather than trying to fix you.

  • Six diverse people with different skin tones join their fists together in a circle on a tiled ground, symbolizing unity and teamwork.

    I create space for race & identity


    Your experiences of race and identity are central to who you are. I hold space for these experiences while also doing the work myself, learning, reflecting, and leaning into my personal anti-racism work. I strive to work in a culturally competent way, helping you feel seen, valued and supported as your whole self.

    Holding a trauma-informed approach


    I bring a trauma-informed awareness to our work. I care about what you’ve been through and want to support you to move at a pace that feels right for you.

how it works

  • I am based in South Manchester and work both online and in-person*. Sessions are 50 minutes long and are typically every week.

    *I currently only have availability for online clients and am operating a waitlist for new in-person clients

  • I charge £55 per session. I am sometimes able to offer concessionary rates if you are a student or on a low income.

    I also offer reduced fee sessions with the George & Audrey Foundation CIC where funding allows

  • In short, anything that feels important to you. Some clients explore emotions, relationships, or past experiences, while others want support with daily life challenges and big transitions. Your sessions are guided by what matters most to you.

  • Nope! While I have experience here, you don’t need to fit into any specific category to work with me. As long as we both feel like we are a good fit, that is good enough for me. If we decide to work together, I will hold space for you with care and respect for whatever you bring into the therapy room.

  • Not at all! Counselling is for anyone who wants support navigating life’s ups and downs. It can be helpful to know what you want from therapy but this is something we can figure out together. There’s no requirement to have a big “problem” that needs fixing.

getting started

If you’re interested in working with me, the first step is for us to have an initial 20-minute consultation over Zoom. This isn’t a therapy session but a chance for us to see if we’re a good fit, for you to get a feel for how I work, and to share a little about what you’re hoping to get from therapy. Fill out the form below so I can book in your call.
