Happy New Year! What would you like to change in 2026? What's holding you back? The future depends on what we do in the present. "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". Carl Jung
I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist with over 23 years experience helping clients find peace, confidence & emotional balance. Footsteps Counselling changes lives without a waiting list. I am passionate about helping my clients overcome stress, anxiety, low mood, addictions, dealing with loss, relationship problems and many other issues. I will be here for you as long as you need me, from 6 weeks to 6 months or longer. I currently see clients referred through Bupa private healthcare, ComPsych - worlds largest EAP & private clients through my website. Most of my clients say they start to feel better after just a single session and around 95% feel they have made significant progress after six.
I can appreciate how difficult it can be to engage in counselling for the first time or with a new counsellor. I recommend that we arrange an initial session to identify and explore the issues and concerns you may be experiencing, and your hopes for how counselling may help you. The initial meeting is very relaxed and just for you to have space to explore your thoughts. There is no obligation to continue further sessions at that point. You may decide you feel comfortable and would like to return at another time in the future or it may be a one off session, your choice. I know from experience that when you reach out for help, it is a strength, not a weakness. I am here to help you work through any challenges you may be facing.
Face to face sessions now available in my therapy room in Rodley LS13, home visits available in surrounding area including Horsforth.

Reflect - In the first session I would like to get to know you and identify the symptoms you are experiencing, the emotions and the events that trigger them and the root cause by exploring your core beliefs.
Recover - This is not a quick fix approach. To achieve personal change requires lifestyle changes and sustained effort and commitment from you. We will work together to meet your goals of therapy and an action plan for maintenance of your improved mood.
Refocus - One of the biggest benefits of CBT is that after your course has finished, you can continue to apply the ‘tools for life’ you have learned. This should make it less likely that your symptoms will return.
Leeds CBT Counselling
My Leeds story...
I first came to Leeds in 2008. I was working for NECA - North East Council for Addictions in Middlesbrough. I also travelled to Sunderland, South Shields & York to support clients in established centres. I was re-located to Leeds city centre to set up a new practice as the company was expanding it's support to West Yorkshire. I started off with 1 client and ended up with a full-time caseload and a long waiting list. After 2 years of commuting from Redcar, 150 mile round trip, I moved to Leeds to offer support to my clients. I became a private practice psychotherapist in 2013 supporting clients with symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. In 2018 I moved back to Redcar to care for my Dad with Alzheimers and again commuted to Leeds until Covid lockdown in March 2020 when I started working from home supporting clients though the pandemic.
July 2024 I am happy to be back in Leeds city centre offering face to face sessions to new clients on Mondays 10am - 8pm
Update May 2025 - I am moving back to Leeds and will be offering face to face sessions in LS13 & LS1 Leeds City Centre from September. £80 per 60 minute session includes room hire. I also offer home visits near Rodley LS13 including Horsforth. Monday - Friday 10am - 8pm.
