Before training at The Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy, I focused solely on my artwork after achieving my BA (Hons) in Cornwall. I’ve always had a love and passion for painting and all the dramatic mythological stories within the arts and my own unconscious. However, something was always psychologically missing for me; through the discovery of dream analysis, I began my psychotherapy journey, which changed my life for the better.

I completely understand what it is like to sit in a chair and feel vulnerable. For some phenomenal reason, sharing our vulnerability brings great strength, self-awareness and sometimes even clarity.

It’s been an honour to train and now work at The Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy.  My training is within Integrative Transactional Analysis, though I do have many other areas of interest which I draw upon within my therapeutic practice. I have a great interest in Jungian analysis and dream work. I believe that the body, mind and spirit support one another, which is why I also take a more holistic approach using phenomenological inquiry. (Focusing on behaviours, words, tones of voice, body language, and other non verbal responses).

Whatever you choose to share will be held completely within a confidential and respected environment. I take a non-judgemental approach when working with my clients, and respect their individuality. I offer a safe and secure space whilst I accompany you on your journey. I will be there as a support and guide for you throughout the whole process; you will lead the way and choose when to open certain doors, and I will respect your choice when choosing to do so or not.

Face to face therapy is how I choose to work as I find it is far more rewarding, as it holds a much more potent therapeutic experience. However, I am aware times are changing. I do offer very limited times and spaces for those individuals with exceptional circumstances for online therapy.

I am passionate about the potential for personal growth, change and empowerment. I believe that through the therapeutic alliance you can experience nurture and challenge, healing and growth, and the realisation of your potential. 

I love introducing the simplicity and inclusivity of Eric Berne’s model of psychotherapy to clients. I genuinely believe that therapy should be open, honest, and authentic and I like to use the therapeutic relationship as the vehicle for personal change. I provide warmth, nurture and empathy whilst also offering gentle and constructive challenge.  I believe that it is only in challenge and discomfort with the right guidance and support that the shift will happen for you.

After leaving university I trained as an Advice and Guidance Counsellor and worked for 16 years as a Connexions Personal Adviser with young people aged 16- 19 helping them overcome personal barriers to attainment. I was a holistic practitioner providing advice, guidance, and support on a range of issues including housing and homelessness, alcohol and drug misuse, parenting, and teenage pregnancy, being in care and leaving care and youth offending. I undertook a Masters in the Psychology of Education to complement this work and to satisfy my curiosity in psychology.  After a career break when I had my children I returned to work at a private care organisation providing supervision and support to the most amazing and caring staff.

I am a reflective practitioner committed to my own personal therapy and to clinical supervision – I do not advocate for something I have not personally experienced and believe in.
