About me
As a licensed therapist committed to supporting individuals of all ages, including children aged 10 and older, I strive to appreciate the unique experiences and needs of each person. My practice encompasses a broad spectrum of concerns, including ASD, ADHD, bereavement, loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. Should you have any questions about how I may assist you, please feel free to reach out. I'm here to help.
My professional experience includes a substantial number of client hours acquired through my private practice and contributions to the charitable sector. I have worked with esteemed organizations such as the Queen's Award-winning Solihull Bereavement Service and the community interest company Choices CIC, and I have provided impactful counselling to neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals in both primary and secondary schools.
I take into account your mental, physical, and emotional needs, along with your unique background and life experiences. My main aim is to cultivate a trusting and compassionate relationship where you feel safe to express yourself. Your choices will always be valued and respected, empowering you on your journey to well-being.
Expressing and processing challenges in a safe environment not only brings clarity and relief but also fosters the courage and curiosity necessary to discover new, healthier ways to overcome emotional and physical pain. This proactive approach already empowered many individuals to transform their struggles into growth opportunities.

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.
