Areas of Specialism

During my practice I have worked with a wide range of issues including bereavement, depression, stress, anxiety, low self esteem, domestic violence, sexual abuse, bullying and relationship issues.

Background

I have a very varied and experienced background within counselling. I have gained a diverse experience by working within a local GP's surgery, the Well Women Centre at Leigh and from the Worsley Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy as well as from my own practice. As a result I am able to offer guidance and support covering a wide range of issues to both male and female adults as well as children and young people.

I provide a warm, friendly but professional service to my clients in an empathic and confidential environment to help you feel relaxed and comfortable. My practice is governed within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework.

I am currently an Outreach worker, working with vulnerable teenage girls, and have experience of working with young people within Social Care having been a volunteer Independent Visitor.
