About me
People seek counselling for many different reasons. I am a Multi-model Integrated Therapist based in Bartley Green, South Birmingham. I am able to tailor therapy to my clients and their needs. I have a strong duty of care to my clients and a genuine passion towards commitment in therapy.
I started my career over a decade ago in the public sector, dealing with people from all walks of life, often with people who find themselves in challenging situations. In recent years, I have expanded my career through the training company Chrysalis into talking therapies.
My work ethos is that therapy needs to be tailor-made to fit clients, to help them get the results and changes they need for a better way of lifestyle and being, with those results being maintainable in the long run, by clients, and I feel this is where integrated therapies are an advantage, with research supporting this.
Many of us carry difficult, painful experiences in life which stay with us beneath the surface. I can help release these experiences in a gentle way, which offers my clients a more fulfilling future based on personal growth.
Models that I use include Psychodynamic Counselling, Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, REBT, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Hypnotherapy. Using these models, I have experience treating many presenting issues such as depression, stress, anxiety, abuse, addiction, phobias, anger management, self-defeating behaviours, bereavement and loss, and self-development.
As a therapist, I am constantly in development of my work, keeping abreast of the latest research from the best resources out there and techniques for our fast-paced environment.
