Profile

I am an integrative psychotherapist with over 15 years post qualifying experience.

I am a registered ukcp psychotherapist and a qualified supervisor and trainer of counsellors. 
I teach on a diploma in therapeutic counselling and a Diploma in Integrative counselling at two Birmingham colleges.

I provide training to organisations on many counselling related issues and offer clinical supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists. I also offer group supervision to both organisations and groups of private psychotherapists.

I have had considerable experience working with survivors of abuse and trauma and with issues around sexuality and have also provided training locally and nationally in these areas. I have also worked extensively with stress related distress and issues of self esteem and confidence. I also work with couples on relationship and psychosexual issues, and I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when appropriate.

I have extensive experience working therapeutically with young people. I run a counselling service at a Birmingham 6th form college and am the external counsellor for an independent school in worcestershire.

I am based in Alvechurch which is in between Birmingham and Redditch, 5 minute drive from junction 2 M42. My practice is easily accessible from Worcestershire, Warwickshire and West Midlands.
