I offer face to face sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays and online sessions on Tuesdays. I offer some flexibility with on line sessions in the early evenings.

I have places available in my practice at the moment so please feel free to get in touch.

MSc. Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. Birmingham Newman University.

I am a qualified, BACP registered counsellor. I have a private practice offering long and short term counselling for individual adults.

I work with people experiencing  difficulties such as anxiety, stress, feelings of low self worth, relationship difficulties, health concerns, coming to terms with chronic health conditions, grief, family issues.

Drawing on my years of study in counselling and my professional background, I have cultivated a capacity to listen and think with depth and compassion which, combined with perception and empathy, helps my clients to access and work with what most troubles them.

I have been trained in a range of therapeutic approaches which I combine and tailor to meet the needs of each individual person. I draw on gestalt, relational, analytic and developmental approaches to examine issues, find patterns of thinking and behaving where people may be stuck and explore possible links to to past experiences in an effort to enable clients to gain relief move forward in meaningful ways.

At the heart of my practice is my belief that each person is worthy of respect and compassion. Therefore, I provide an emotionally safe space in which we can work with mutual commitment and collaboration in order to make sense of what challenges you are experiencing and explore new ways of coping and understanding yourself .

Therapy provides an opportunity to reflect upon and work with what is troubling you, away from the distractions and commitments of daily life.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

During the first session we can become  acquainted and a  short assessment will be conducted. This will allow us to identify what has bought you to therapy and whether working with me is your best way forward.
