About me
Are you experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, relationship or family issues? I can help you.
Sharing problems with someone can help you through difficult times in your life. As an experienced counsellor with over 10 years experience, I will work with you to help make those difficulties become more manageable.
Working together we can find positive ways forward.
How I work
As an Integrative Counsellor, I believe there is no single approach that suits everyone - I tailor my work to your specific needs and work effectively with each person in a unique and individual way.
Our relationship is key, so I aim to create a warm, welcoming and nurturing atmosphere to help you feel comfortable to explore your issues.
Working together, we can find positive ways forward.
Life can feel very challenging and sometimes overwhelming, but change is possible. I feel privileged to be a part of my clients’ journeys, and I hope to be a positive part of your journey too.
What to expect
Through my work with clients and my own personal experience, I understand how difficult life can feel.
All sessions take place in a warm, welcoming, accepting and non-judgemental environment, providing a comfortable space to explore your issues.
I am an experienced counsellor with over 10 years experience, providing confidential therapy for adults. I am based in Kings Heath, Birmingham, and have daytime appointments available.

Experience
I have many years experience as a Counsellor. I have been working in private practice for several years, and have also worked as a therapist for several charity organisations, including Barnardos.

In particular I have experience of counselling clients through issues such as: anxiety and panic, depression, childhood trauma, anger management, self-harm, relationship issues, self-esteem, phobias, grief, loss and change, domestic abuse, abuse, negative thoughts, stress, bereavement, PTSD/trauma, eating disorders, sexual orientation, suicidal thoughts and health issues.
Professional
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical framework for good practice.
I attend regular supervision sessions to help develop and focus my practice and ensure that I am working effectively.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
