My availability at the moment is that I have a completely free schedule and my working hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 9PM with a possibility of working limited hours on a Saturday. I have no planned holidays for the immediate future .

I'm trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist and qualified in the summer of 2024. Being an Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist means that I'm skilled in more than one approach to fit your needs as a client seeking therapy. At my core I use a person centred approach this utilises Carl Rogers 3 Core conditions of Unconditional Positive regard, Empathy & Congruence. As therapy progresses I can use interventions like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Solution focused Therapy & Motivational Interviewing to name but a few. I'm also a recovering alcoholic of six years sobriety and I can help with any addiction issues coming from a place real empathetic lived experience.

I have just started up my private practice here in Blackpool and I have currently converted my lounge into a therapy room. I also offer therapy sessions within your own home as long as safeguarding requirements are met and you live within 20 miles of Blackpool. I'm also trained to work online through the use of Zoom, Teams and WhatsApp and also offer telephone sessions. This enables me to see clients throughout the United Kingdom.

First session is an initial consultation to see what issues you are facing and to see if I can work within my competency to help you. Also this gives us both an opportunity to see if we can work with and feel comfortable with each other and I can answer any questions you may have about therapy and how it works.  The first session is expected to last around 30 minutes and will be free from charge.
