Clinical Philosophy & Practice

Greetings and welcome to my profile. Are you struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling overwhelmed and out of control? Have you experienced loss and trauma and don't appear to move on with your life? Does this have a negative impact on your life, family, and job? Are you currently waiting on a long NHS list? Your first step could be to find professional support to assist you in getting your life back on track.

I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist based in Middleton, Manchester, United Kingdom. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an active talking therapy that examines the real-time connections between how you think, feel, and behave. Together, we will identify any unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and learn how to use more useful, compassionate strategies for coping with difficulties in your everyday life.

My practice is firmly underpinned by the person-centred beliefs of humanistic treatment. This means that I will demonstrate empathy, genuineness, and a non-judgmental attitude in all aspects of our work.

Integrative 3rd-Wave Techniques

I use psychological theory, video materials, and experiential interventions combining mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy (CFT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). This holistic approach ensures therapy adapts to you as a unique individual, rather than forcing you into a rigid manual.

Specialised Risk Management & Safeguarding Background

My distinctive background is in psychological treatment coupled with extensive risk assessment and risk management experience, built over many years as a Risk Management administrator.

This equips me with a calm, methodical, and profoundly safe framework when working with adults experiencing severe clinical difficulties, complex trauma, panic, OCD, severe depressive episodes, and suicidal ideation.
