About me
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low, stressed or stuck. Something may have happened in your life that you're finding difficult to process, or you might simply feel that things have become harder to manage. Sometimes there isn't one clear reason... you just know that you don't feel like yourself.
Counselling can offer you a space to slow down, talk openly and make sense of what you're experiencing, without judgement.
I'm a qualified counsellor and completed my counselling training at Birmingham City University in 2022. Since qualifying, I have worked with children, young people and adults experiencing a wide range of emotional, psychological and life difficulties. I have also gained experience working within charity and university settings.
I work with adults using an integrative approach, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on you and what you need. I don't believe counselling should be a one size fits all experience. We can work together to understand what is happening for you and find an approach that feels helpful and appropriate.
I support adults with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, stress, self-esteem and confidence, relationship difficulties, life changes, loss, work-related pressures and feeling overwhelmed. You don't need to have a diagnosis or even know exactly what you want to talk about. We can start wherever feels right for you.
My aim is to provide a warm, safe and confidential space where you can be yourself, explore difficult thoughts and feelings, and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
All sessions are delivered online via Microsoft Teams, so you can access counselling from the comfort and privacy of your own home, wherever you are in the UK.
I offer appointments Monday to Thursday evenings from 5pm and Saturday mornings.
If you're wondering whether counselling could help, you're welcome to get in touch. We can have an initial conversation about what you're looking for and whether you feel I might be the right counsellor for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified and registered counsellor working in accordance with the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
In 2022, I completed a Master's Degree (Level 7) in Counselling Children and Young People at Birmingham City University. My training was grounded in an integrative approach and included working therapeutically with both adults and young people.
During my training, I completed placements within schools and charitable organisations, supporting children, young people, and adults with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
Following qualification, I undertook specialist training in grief and bereavement counselling and worked within a bereavement charity for a year, supporting children, young people, and adults experiencing loss.
Alongside my private practice, I currently work as a counsellor within a university, providing counselling and wellbeing support to students of all ages. This role has given me extensive experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, perfectionism, self-esteem difficulties, relationship challenges, neurodivergence, and life transitions.
Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
