About me

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships - giving more than you receive, struggling to say no, or feeling like you're not quite good enough?

Even when you try to change things, something keeps pulling you back to the same place.

These patterns often have deeper roots. Therapy can help you understand where they come from - and, importantly, how to begin challenging them.

I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and start to untangle what's been happening. Together we'll explore your experiences with care and curiosity, helping you build a stronger sense of self and more balanced, fulfilling relationships.

I support adults with anxiety, depression, lack of confidence, low self-worth, ADHD and OCD, particularly when these impact confidence, boundaries, or connection with others.

Our work will move at your pace. You'll have space to reflect, be heard, and begin to see yourself more clearly - without pressure or expectation.

If this resonates with you, feel free to get in touch for an initial chat.

I'm a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor with over 12yrs experience, offering sessions online and in private practice in the West Midlands.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
