Accredited Psychotherapist - MSc

About me

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or anxious - unsure how to move forward? I offer a calm, supportive space to explore what’s going on for you, and to work at a pace that feels right.

I’m a UKCP registered psychotherapist with an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and other challenges that affect how we relate to ourselves and the world - such as issues in relationships or navigating neurodivergence. 

Whether you're looking to understand yourself better, process something painful, or make lasting change, therapy can help. I work in-person in Kings Norton and online, offering short or long-term therapy depending on your goals.

If you’d like to see if we’re a good fit, I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute call. Please contact me to arrange a time that works for you.
