I am dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of care and ensuring the wellbeing and safety of my clients.

My extensive background in education, combined with my qualifications in counselling and trauma-informed practice, equips me to offer comprehensive support to individuals and families. I operate a private practice in Bury, Greater Manchester, where I provide therapy, training, and consultancy services.

My integrative approach ensures that therapy is personalised and effective, whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child.

At Trauma Informed Schools UK, I am part of the management team and the strategic lead for safeguarding, so continue to draw on my many years as a safeguarding lead in education. Additionally, as a previous Instructor Member for Mental Health First Aid England, I continue to provide essential training on mental health awareness and response.
