About me
I take a person-centered, humanistic approach, offering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and understanding. My priority is to create a safe, confidential space where you can explore your feelings, develop self-awareness, and build self-worth at your own pace. I believe in working collaboratively, tailoring my approach to suit your individual needs, and empowering you to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience.
I am always open and honest about any limitations I may have, and I approach every client without judgment. My role is not to give advice but to help you find your own answers by providing support, insight, and new perspectives. I understand that therapy is a deeply personal journey, and I respect that everyone’s process is different.
I also recognise that anxiety can make reaching out difficult—even picking up the phone can feel overwhelming. If that’s the case, feel free to send me a message, and I’ll be happy to answer any questions and explain more about how I work. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Warwick, specialising in a person-centred approach. This program is accredited, and I am in the process of completing my individual accreditation. With over 14 years of professional experience, I have worked extensively as a counsellor at Open Door, a service contracted by Forward Thinking Birmingham, providing therapeutic support to individuals facing a wide range of challenges.
Currently, I provide counselling services at King Edward’s High School and Heartlands Academy, offering tailored emotional and psychological support to students. Additionally, I collaborate with an organisation dedicated to supporting women and children who have experienced domestic violence, helping them navigate trauma and rebuild their lives. My practice encompasses working with clients of all ages and diverse backgrounds, addressing a broad spectrum of emotional, psychological, and behavioural concerns. My approach is client-centred, empathetic, and evidence-based, ensuring that each individual receives the care best suited to their needs.
If you require counselling support or would like further information about my services, please feel free to contact me via the phone number provided or email. I would be happy to assist you.
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.
