Personalised CBT Therapy in Manchester

Every client presents unique challenges. Therefore, I avoid a rigid, one-size-fits-all protocol. Instead, I develop bespoke treatment plans based on your individual goals. By tailoring the approach to fit your needs, therapy becomes more effective and meaningful.

Decades of Clinical and Academic Experience

Since 1996, I’ve delivered psychological care across a wide range of sectors. For 10 years, I worked as a senior lecturer in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and helped shape the Advanced Practice PGDip Course at the University of Cumbria. I continue to offer honorary lectures when required, ensuring my academic engagement remains active.

Additionally, I served as an external examiner for three years at The University of Teesside. There, I reviewed courses focused on complexity, CBT, and dual diagnoses.

Currently, I run my own private practice, offering individual, couple, and family therapy. I also supervise other clinicians in the field, providing expert guidance and support.
