Services
I provide face-to-face, remote and outdoor therapy services for adult clients. I can help with past and current trauma, anxiety, anger management, depression, stress, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem and many other emotional and behavioural issues. I am a Trauma Focused therapist which enables me to support clients with trauma histories, complex PTSD and PTSD.
Face-to-face is based at my home in Bradshaw. This is a rural location within easy reach of Blackburn, Bolton, Manchester. I have a dedicated confidential space for sessions which is quiet and comfortable. I am surrounded by natural landscape that is ideal for outdoor therapy. Remote therapy uses Zoom and email for contact.
Embodied Therapeutic Approaches
I hold a Diploma in Mindfulness and Meditation with additional MBSR training, enabling me to teach both these disciplines. I am a qualified Yoga teacher with specialism in Hatha and Yin traditions. I also have Certifications in Myofascial Training, and a Diploma in Gestalt Therapy.
I am able to integrate aspects of each of these practices when requested and mutually agreed upon, to support my clients address both their emotional and body issues.
Free initial consult
I offer a no obligation, complementary 15 minute consultation (face-to-face, or on Zoom). This can be used to explore how I may be able to help you, and for us to assess the possibilities of working together. I do not offer written risk assessments or mental illness diagnoses for the purpose of court hearings.
Treatment plans and requirements
Short-term or long-term contracts can be offered.
I believe that a commitment to weekly consecutive sessions is necessary. I have flexibility around shift work, booked holidays or illness, as long as this is discussed in advance. I do not offer fortnightly/monthly sessions.
I do not hold sessions on the phone or via text-based messaging. Online therapy requires the individual or couple to be visible via webcam.
Contract
My contract is freely available for prospective clients to read. It is viewable in PDF format here.
Fees
My fee for treatment is £55/hour for an adult individual, £80 for 90 mins (adult individual) and £75/90min for couples. Reduced rates are sometimes available for a limited number of clients on low incomes. Let me know if you need to discuss this.
