Welcome to The Healing Space

Welcome to The Healing Space - a warm, trauma-informed counselling practice based in Lymm village, Cheshire.

I offer in-person therapy for children aged 7–12, in-person or online therapy for teens and adults, and parent support, supporting individuals and families across Warrington, Altrincham, Sale, Leigh, Irlam, Urmston, and South Manchester.

My practice is grounded in person-centred experiential therapy, with a strong attachment- and trauma-informed focus.

I’m particularly interested in how early relationships and life experiences shape how we feel, how we relate to others, and how we see ourselves. Often, the things people are struggling with in the present make more sense when we understand where they’ve come from.

Over time, my work has developed into a more focused approach, with a growing specialism in ADHD; particularly how it shows up in everyday life and in the therapy room. This includes things like emotional intensity, overwhelm, masking, and that frustrating gap between knowing something logically and actually feeling or doing it differently.

My training in family systems also shapes how I work, helping me understand people within the wider context of their relationships, especially within families and early environments.

I work integratively, which means I don’t follow one rigid model. Instead, I draw from different approaches depending on what’s needed; including CBT, psychodynamic thinking, Transactional Analysis (TA), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and inner child work, but always in a way that feels relevant and grounded in your experience. This means I adapt to you, rather than expecting you to fit a particular way of working.

I also have a strong background in working with children and young people, and tailor the work depending on age, needs, and how someone naturally expresses themselves.

Where helpful, I use creative and practical tools, especially when talking on its own doesn’t quite reach what’s going on underneath.

Above all, I aim to create a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences, understand the patterns shaping you, and begin to move forward in a way that feels more manageable and grounded.

Appointments are available in person and online, giving you flexibility to access support in a way that suits you.
