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.
Fees
My fee for treatment is £55/hour for an adult individual, £80 for 90 mins (adult individual) and £75/90min for couples. A reduced rate is available for a limited number of clients on low incomes. Let me know on first contact if you need to discuss this, although do please note that there are a very limited number of these places available.
