About me and my therapy practice
I offer counselling for adults in Birmingham and Solihull, including outdoor and walk-and-talk therapy. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, overwhelm, burnout, low self-esteem and the feeling of having lost connection with themselves. Many of the people I support have spent years overthinking, pushing through or trying to cope alone. I help you navigate your distress through nature-based sessions that allow you to breathe, hear yourself think and simply be.
Session take place outdoors in Clowes Wood in Earlswood, as well as both outdoors and in-room sessions in Kings Heath. I also offer remote walk-and-talk sessions and traditional online sessions nationwide.
Nature as Part of the Process
Our sessions take place within a private area of the woods. In this setting, the woodland is more than just a location; it is an integral part of the therapeutic process that helps us to bring about a deeper connection to your own internal experience. We work outside across the seasons, allowing the changing landscape to support and reflect your own process of change.
A Neuro-Affirming Space
My practice is neurodiversity friendly. Having lived experience of ADHD, I provide a low-pressure environment where you are welcome to be muddled, to move, or to drop the mask you carry in daily life. Whether you are navigating the specific challenges of neurodiversity or feel stuck in a cycle of overwhelm, this is a space where you are understood without having to perform.
The Therapeutic Relationship
My approach is grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own experience - my job is to provide the support needed for you to discover a way forwards and a way of being in the world that is right for you.
Many of my clients find that by slowing down in this environment, gently beginning to untangle their troubles, they begin to 'wake up' to a gentler way of being - relating to themselves with more patience and kindness, even when life is difficult.
Practice description
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP-registered counsellor (MBACP) with a Level 4 Diploma in Person-Centred Therapeutic Counselling.
My professional background includes:
- Addiction & Recovery: Several years working in addiction services and gambling rehabilitation.
- Neurodiversity: Lived experience of ADHD, professional experience in working with autism and currently undertaking further specialist ADHD training.
- General Counselling: Experience working in community counselling settings with adults navigating a wide range of life difficulties.
- Environment & Nature: A Level 3 Certificate in Countryside Management and Environmental Studies, following a period of working in the nature conservation sector.
I work with adults (18+) and have a specific interest in neurodivergent experiences and shame. My background in conservation and environmental studies informs my choice to work outdoors, while my experience in addiction services allows me to sit with complex and difficult life situations.
Because I have lived experience of ADHD, I provide a space where you do not need to explain the mechanics of your neurodivergence. We focus instead on your current experience and how you feel.
