About me: UKCP Accredited Certified Transactional Analyst (P).

What’s my motivation?

I’m originally from Cork in Ireland and have worked as a therapist for the last 10 years. In my practice, I offer you a space where you can explore and discover your identity and regain a sense of autonomy and connectedness. I seek to support you to move from a place of feeling perhaps “stuck” and “lost” to a position where they feel more connected to themselves and others. This can assist you to moving towards living a more authentic and fulfilled life.

My journey to becoming a psychotherapist began as a direct result of experiencing a challenging time in my early 20s and seeking therapy. My experience of psychotherapy at the time was life changing.

My values

I am enthusiastic about working collaboratively alongside my clients where they can be their “best selves”.

I am a firm believer in treating everyone with the dignity and respect which they deserve irrespective of their identity, background, culture, sexuality, disability, life experiences, religious affiliations. Inclusivity is a significant personal value of mine (see below). Justice and fairness are of paramount importance, and I have worked with clients who have experienced forms of injustice and unfairness in society, the workplace, and relationships over the years. My own philosophy as a therapist includes respecting and understanding each client’s perspective and treating them with the utmost dignity and compassion. I strive to support, be understanding and be non judgemental.

Client Choice and Autonomy

It is important for you to feel comfortable in deciding which counsellor or psychotherapist you want to work with. I ensure that all prospective clients can have a free 20 min chat either on phone or online to get a sense on if I am the right "fit" for you. During this chat you can give me a sense of what it is causing you distress/ discomfort at this time. I will answer any questions you may have about individual or couples counselling and what it entails.

Couples/ Relationship Counselling

I’m an Imago Relationship Therapist which is a specialist and highly effective form of couples counselling. Imago relationship therapy is a wonderful way to get to know your partner better and feel more loved and deeply connected. It is also about experiencing the joy of being in relationship and how it is important for us to show appreciations to our partner.

My practice is based in Manchester City Centre on Mondays and on Tuesdays I work in Sale where face to face and online appointments can take place from both locations. Online appointments can also be facilitated on Wednesdays. I work with individuals and also with couples. I use Imago Relationship Therapy in my work with Couples and charge £60 for individual therapy (50 mins) and £85 per hour of couples therapy.
