All sessions take place during office hours. 

Holistic, affirming and supportive integrative therapeutic counselling, somatic therapy and nature therapy in Birmingham.

Thanks for being here. I'm really glad you are. I know that starting therapy for the first time, or taking the next step along the path, takes courage. What ever your reasons for seeking therapy, I’m here to support you in a compassionate, affirming and safe way.

I'm an integrative therapeutic counsellor and I work in a collaborative, non-judgemental, affirming and trauma informed way. This means taking a holistic approach where we explore your unique experience, needs and goals, using a variety of tools and approaches that work with the mind, body and nervous system.

I specialise in working with trauma, autism, and ADHD (with lived experience of both), and I support people in exploring identity and intersectional aspects of identity, including (but not limited to) LGBTQ+ identities and polyamorous relationships. 

It’s incredibly important to me that the space I offer is neurodiversity affirming, as well as LGBTQIA+ affirming, disability affirming, anti-racist and fat-positive. I’m always happy to share more about what this means in practice if you have an aspect (or intersectional aspects) of your identity that are impacted by oppression.

Whether you want to focus on a specific issue or problem, or simply to understand yourself and your experience better, therapy can offer a space for you to slow down and reconnect with yourself, while being seen, heard and supported. It can also offer the opportunity to build up tools and resources that you can use outside of the therapy room, helping you to be more resilient as you respond to the inevitable challenges of being a human.

The theories I work with include psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, gestalt therapy, mindfulness based stress reduction and somatic movement based trauma therapy. I'm also passionate about the role of neuroscience in helping us to understand and manage our experiences. Don't worry too much about whether any of these approaches are right for you though. They're just a collection of tools that can support our work together as we explore the struggles or experiences that have brought you to therapy.

Outside of my work as a counsellor and therapist, I’m a meditation teacher, a sound practitioner, a yoga teacher and a wellbeing in nature facilitator. While I don't always bring these elements into the counselling room, it's safe to say I believe that a holistic approach that works with the mind, body and nervous system can be hugely beneficial.

My approach is trauma informed and rooted in safely connecting with yourself and your experience, in a way that works for you. That might mean focussing on what's happening for you in the here and now, or exploring the past and how it affects the present. What ever you're wanting to explore, I'm here to support you.

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, with the flexibility to meet weekly or fortnightly.

My standard session fee is £60 and I offer some reduced fee places to support those on lower incomes. 

I offer a complimentary, 15 minute session so we can have a chat and get to know each other. It's important to me that you have an opportunity to share your reasons for coming to therapy and find out whether I'm a good fit for you.

I'll be happy to share a bit more about my approach, along with the ways that I might be able to support you in your specific struggles. You'll also have an opportunity to ask questions. 

If we go on to work together, our first full session will be an opportunity to explore your reasons for coming to therapy and any relevant past experiences that you wish to share. 

I work with clients from across the UK online, as well as in-person.  I work in person, in Stirchley, South Birmingham, and via zoom. 

I also offer a number of in person nature based therapy sessions at the Licky Hills. Please contact me to check my current availability. 

All sessions take place during office hours. 

Integrative therapeutic counselling grounded in somatic and neuroscience-informed approaches to wellbeing, available both in person and online.

Starting counselling, or taking the next step in your journey, can take courage. Whatever has brought you here, I offer a compassionate, affirming, and supportive space. 

As an integrative therapeutic counsellor, I work collaboratively with you, drawing on a range of approaches that consider the whole person; mind, body, and nervous system. 

My practice is neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQIA+ affirming, disability-affirming, anti-racist, and fat-positive.

I specialise in working with trauma, autism, and ADHD, and I support people in exploring identity and intersectional aspects of identity, including (but not limited to) LGBTQ+ identities and polyamorous relationships. My work is affirming, inclusive, and centred around meeting you where you are.

You might come with something specific you’d like to focus on, or a sense of wanting to understand yourself more deeply. Therapy can offer a space to reconnect with yourself, where you can feel seen, heard, and met without judgement. Through our work, you may also discover tools and resources that support resilience as you navigate the natural challenges of life.

I'll ask you to share a little about what's bringing you to therapy and I'll share a bit more about my approach, along with the ways that I might be able to support you. You'll also have an opportunity to ask as many questions as you need to, to see if we're a good fit for each other. 

If we go on to work together, our first full session will be an opportunity to explore your reasons for coming to therapy and any relevant past experiences that you wish to share.

Holistic integrative therapeutic counselling, including trauma therapy, somatic therapy, and nature-based therapy. Sessions are available outdoors, in person in South Birmingham, or online via Zoom.

Thank you for being here. If you’re looking for a fully qualified counsellor who offers therapy in the natural world, you’re in the right place. I provide a space where you can slow down, feel supported, and reconnect, whether that’s outside in nature, in a more traditional indoor setting, or online.

My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experience of being a client. Having the opportunity to explore my challenges in a safe, supportive, and affirming environment allowed me to live a more connected and meaningful life. Alongside therapy, I’ve always found grounding in the natural world, which is why I’m passionate about bringing counselling and psychotherapy outdoors.

I specialise in working with trauma, autism, and ADHD, and I support people in exploring identity, including LGBTQ+ identities and polyamorous relationships. My work is affirming, inclusive, and centred around meeting you where you are.

Whether we’re working outside or indoors, my approach is collaborative and trauma informed. You might come with something specific you’d like to work through, or you might want to better understand yourself and your experiences. 

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including nature-allied therapy, psychodynamic therapy, gestalt therapy and somatic trauma therapy. I’m also a licensed meditation teacher, yoga teacher, and sound practitioner, and I integrate elements of spirituality and wellbeing into my work where it feels supportive.

You don’t need to have any knowledge of these approaches, they're are just tools that I use to support you. We'll explore what’s coming up for you, at your pace, in a way that feels safe, respectful, and meaningful.

 I'm also passionate about the role of neuroscience in helping us to understand and manage our experiences.

You might be wondering whether counselling is right for you and whether I could be the right counsellor for you. 

It's important to me that you have an opportunity to share your reasons for coming to therapy and find out whether I'm a good fit for you. Because of this, I offer a complimentary, 15 minute session so we can have a chat and get to know each other.

I'll share how we might work together and you can go away and see if this feels like a good fit.
