Profile

I'm an experienced person centred counsellor with over 10 years of experience working with individuals aged 13 onwards from all backgrounds. I work in Moseley, B13 and Malvern. I aim to work in a way that suits the individual, exploring thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours with friendly curiosity and acceptance.
You may find that you're experiencing negative thought patterns or beliefs about yourself linked to events both recent and further back & we will work creatively and safely with these issues. Counselling can help develop self confidence and assertiveness which can enhance relationships and personal fulfillment.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I'm a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor and gained a Diploma in person centred therapy from the University of Warwick in 1998. I am also qualified in person centred art therapy skills, focusing & CBT.
I have worked in colleges, for a GP practice, for the Terrence Higgins Trust and currently work for Employee Assistance Programmes as well as privately. I am also a clinical supervisor for a range of voluntary sector organisations.
I am a certified Zero Balancer and believe that it is possible to integrate this bodywork with counselling to work with the bodymind if that feels appropriate.

    I charge from £38 to £58 per session depending on your income and offer the possibility of concessionary fees for people on benefits or very low incomes.

    Further Information

    I work from the Beacon Clinic in central Malvern and the BAC Centre, Moseley, Birmingham, B13. Both are on the ground floor.
    The first session is a chance to share information and see if we feel we want to work together. There's no commitment to continue with counselling after this session but if you do we'll generally agree to six sessions and then review where we want to go after that.
