Thank you for taking the time to look through my website, I hope you find the following information helpful. My private practice is based in Westhoughton, Bolton, which is easily accessible to the Bolton area, Wigan and Leigh but also to other areas of Greater Manchester and Lancashire. I genuinely feel that with the right help, people can change their limiting beliefs and live more fulfilling lives.
The strength of the relationship between myself and the clients I work with is vital to the work we do together. With the foundations of a trusting, respectful and honest relationship we can work collaboratively to find insight and change. My counselling approach is integrative, which means that I draw on different therapies and approaches to suit each person's needs.
This may include mindfulness, solution focused therapy, coaching, hypnotherapy and aspects of positive psychology. Therapy can be on a short term basis or longer term depending on how deep rooted the issues are. Since qualifying as a counsellor I have had additional specialist training and gained experience in helping people with many issues, such as bereavement and loss, abuse, depression, stress and anxiety.

Abuse can take many forms, whether it be physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional, childhood neglect or domestic violence.
It may be that you don't realise that what you are experiencing is abuse, for example, if you are in a controlling relationship.
For some, it may be that there is only a vague recollection of something happening but you can't fully remember and so have pushed it to the back of your mind.
This may mean that you are living with troubling feelings but don't fully know the cause.

You probably already know if anger is affecting your life.
Most of us will have experienced angry feelings at some point and sometimes this is clearly justified.
It is when our anger leads to us overreacting to a situation that we may need some help to understand and manage our emotions.
Beginning to understand our anger, the things that make us angry, any triggers, anything from our past can help us to gain control over it and ultimately overcome it.
An important point is that it is not people or events that make us angry but our reaction to them.

Sometimes our thoughts may begin to run away with us and the anxiety begins to feel out of control.
