What To Expect?

When you come to therapy, you want to feel confident that you are in safe, professional hands. My focus is on offering you a highly professional service that is also warm, empathetic and grounded in many years of therapeutic experience. With over 40 years working in the field of mental health and emotional wellbeing, I bring a wealth of skills and knowledge to each session, allowing me to support you in a way that is tailored to your personal needs.

Every client is different, and so are the challenges they face. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Instead, I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques and models, selecting the methods that will be most effective for you. By combining elements of different approaches, I can create a personalised pathway designed to help you work through difficulties and make the changes you want in your life.

My professional background includes working in the NHS, Local Authority Social Services and private healthcare. This experience means I understand the many different pressures people face and can offer thoughtful, practical and compassionate support. Today, I hold sessions at Lathom House Consulting Rooms in Burscough and The Lancashire Clinic in Lytham St Annes. Both locations provide a welcoming, safe and comfortable space for you to focus on your wellbeing.

Sessions usually last around an hour, and we can work flexibly depending on what suits you best. Some people prefer to book one session at a time, while others benefit from a structured programme of six sessions, with additional support between appointments by phone or video if needed. We will always discuss the options together so that you feel comfortable and supported.

As a client, you can expect reliability, responsiveness and respect. When I say I will contact you, I do. If I recommend other services, you can be sure they are trusted and of high quality. I value the trust my clients place in me and take pride in delivering a professional service that reflects that commitment.

If you are considering therapy, I invite you to reach out for an initial conversation. This may be a phone call or a one-off consultation in clinic where we can explore your needs and decide on the best way forward. My aim is to provide clarity, honesty and a safe therapeutic relationship where you feel listened to and supported.
