Clinical qualification grounded in military service.
I served from 2003 to 2011 as an ex-Combat Medical Technician, completing operational tours of Afghanistan and Bosnia. That background provides me with an authentic understanding of military operational demands, the challenges of transition, and the reality of traumatic stress.
I followed my service career with academic training, earning a BSc in Psychology, Psychotherapy & Counselling and an MSc in Positive Psychology & Counselling.
I am trained in the Rewind Technique (Human Givens), a non-intrusive clinical protocol that helps your brain re-file traumatic memory into standard narrative memory without requiring you to speak about traumatic events aloud.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to practical concerns.
Where are in-person sessions held?
In-person sessions take place within clinic and community hire rooms located across the Rochdale borough, booked according to room availability. Online video and phone sessions are available nationwide.
What times and sessions are available?
Appointments are offered across daytime and select early evening timeframes. Exact availability will be reviewed during your free 15-minute introductory call.
What is the Rewind Technique?
The Rewind Technique (originating from Human Givens) is a non-intrusive treatment for trauma and phobias. It enables closure by reducing emotional arousal attached to traumatic memories without forcing you to re-live or describe the event out loud.
Is my therapy confidential from military or employer records?
Yes. All sessions adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework. Nothing is disclosed to military chains of command, NHS records, or employers without your explicit informed consent, subject only to statutory safeguarding and legal constraints.
