what i do   

As a gay therapist with specialist training and Advanced Accreditation through Pink Therapy, I offer LGBTQ+ affirming therapy for people navigating shame, anxiety, trauma, relationships, identity and self worth.

My APPROACH

My approach to counselling is integrative, relational, trauma informed, and grounded in a person centred philosophy. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted without judgement.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches depending on your individual needs, experiences, and goals. These include Transactional Analysis (TA), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), mindfulness based approaches, Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) Therapy, and trauma informed ways of working, particularly in relation to complex and relational trauma.

flexible counselling options

I understand that life, work, relationships, energy levels, and personal circumstances can all affect what feels manageable when starting counselling. That’s why I offer flexible counselling options, including both online and in person sessions from my Manchester city centre practice.

Some clients prefer the comfort, privacy, and convenience of online counselling, particularly if they feel anxious travelling, have demanding schedules, or live outside Manchester. Others value the dedicated physical space that in person counselling can provide, away from the distractions and pressures of everyday life.

For many LGBTQ+ people, flexibility can also feel important emotionally. Finding an affirming counsellor you genuinely connect with isn’t always easy, and online counselling can make specialist LGBTQ+ support more accessible regardless of location.

Together, we can decide what feels most supportive, practical, and comfortable for you.
