Hello….I am your counsellor practising from The Hale Village Therapy Centre which offers a variety of other practitioners specialising in emotional and holistic well being. I also practice at The Therapy Rooms, Macclesfield.I am in my mid 40’s and became interested in counselling and psychotherapy when I went through a difficult life experience. I found the therapy process not only to be comforting and supportive during this time, but unexpectedly to give me choices and insight about myself that led my friends to comment on the positive changes they saw in me and how I began to live my life. Therapy was not always easy and sometimes challenging, change is often uncomfortable, but the therapy process has shown me a better way of living and experience.
Before I re-trained, I worked successfully in Marketing in the manufacturing sector for many years researching new products and then bringing them to market. I experienced all the difficulties of a fast paced, dead-line orientated career with the added demands of a partner and children. The stresses that this life put on me would show in various ways which I now understand trace back to ways in which I learned to cope when I was a child. It is this insight into why I feel, think, and behave in familiar ways when faced with certain situations that has led me to make changes and give myself choices.
As well as my private work at The Hale Village Therapy Centre, and The Therapy Rooms in Macclesfield, I also work as a voluntary counsellor at The Counselling and Family Centre, Mayors Road, Altrincham in South Manchester.
I am experienced in helping clients with many life difficulties and am always happy to discuss your needs and answer questions before you commit to a session.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and The Institute of Transactional Analysis. I abide by their published Code of Ethics and as such receive regular supervision for my practice
