About me

Each counselling session lasts around 50 minutes. This gives you time to talk, reflect, and explore things at a steady pace.

Most clients attend weekly sessions at the same time each week, as consistency helps build trust and momentum. We can discuss what works best for your circumstances.

It varies for each person. Some people come for short-term work to focus on a specific issue, while others prefer longer-term counselling for ongoing support or deeper exploration.

In-person sessions take place at Milton Hall, 244 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 4BQ.

I also offer online counselling via secure video or phone if you prefer to meet remotely.

Yes. I’ve completed specific training in online counselling to make sure sessions are safe, ethical, and effective. Remote counselling is ideal if travel, distance, or flexibility are important.

Yes. I currently accept Bupa private medical insurance (PMI).

I may work with additional insurers in the future, and this information will be updated as needed.

Yes. I work with companies and EAP providers that offer counselling for employees. If you’re enquiring on behalf of an organisation, please contact me to discuss options.

No, you can contact me directly to arrange counselling.

The first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and talk about what’s brought you to counselling. We’ll discuss what you hope to gain and how we might work together.

Please give at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. This allows the time to be offered to someone else.

Yes. Everything discussed in counselling is treated with confidentiality in line with the BACP Ethical Framework.

The only exceptions are if there’s a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, or if required by law — which we would always discuss first where possible.
