I am dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of care and ensuring the wellbeing and safety of my clients. With 20 years of experience working with children and families, I previously served as the Assistant Principal of a large primary school within a Multi Academy Trust. In that role, I led safeguarding, wellbeing, and pastoral care initiatives as the Designated Safeguarding and Mental Health Lead. 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. I work closely with clients, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs through a pluralistic model of psychotherapy. This allows me to draw on a wide range of therapeutic modalities, which I have training in, including:

My integrative approach ensures that therapy is personalised and effective, whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child. As a certified trauma-informed mental health practitioner and a senior national trainer for Trauma Informed Schools UK, I am committed to creating nurturing environments that foster healing and resilience. 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.
As well as being a registered therapist, I am also an Association for Coaching member coach and liscenced psychometric assessment facilitator.
