About me

I tailor my therapy to your needs, based on sound theory and evidence-based practice. I blend various therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and person-centred therapy, to find realistic and practical solutions to your challenges. My goal is to help you identify where you want to be, what needs to change, and how best to get there.

I offer flexible options to suit your lifestyle, whether you prefer face-to-face sessions or remote counselling via telephone or video. The choice is yours, giving you the power to decide what works best for you.

People have amazing strengths and can deal with the most difficult situations. Together, we can find and build on your strengths, instilling confidence and fostering resilience.

If you're looking for a therapist who listens without judgment and provides practical, realistic support, reach out to me. Together, we can work towards your personal growth and healing.

Training, qualifications & experience

Starting as a Youth, Community and Play Worker in 2007at Birmingham University, I've spent over a decade working with families to help them overcome challenges and thrive. This journey led me to a leadership role as Chief Executive of a Birmingham based children's charity. However, I missed the direct connection with those I aimed to help, which inspire me to further my training and transition into private practice as a counsellor. 

I now specialise in supporting adults and young people dealing with anxiety related issues and navigating challenging life events such as bereavement , family breakdown, work or exam pressures and burnout. My approach is not just about serious discussions; can can have fun along the way. As they say 'laughter is the best medicine'.

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.
