About me

I am a person centred, integrative counsellor and life coach based in South Birmingham. 

I offer a confidential and safe space in which to explore difficulties related to depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma, bereavement and self-esteem. 

My approach is non-judgmental, compassionate and trauma informed. I help my clients discover self awareness, develop confidence and find the freedom to live a happier and more fulfilling life. 

I am trained in walk and talk therapy – for some people being able to talk in outside space can be easier. Walk and talk sessions mean that we will be outside in nature but also that we will talk side by side. 

Examples of client feedback:

“I have felt so understood, I have not feared being judged and I have comfortable to open up to you, thank you for creating that space”

“It’s made me have a vision and work on what I want now. Your techniques and being heard was what I needed”
