About me
Hello, my name is Tricia. Welcome and thank you for viewing my profile.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to make sense of things?
Whether you’re facing anxiety, relationship difficulties, work stress, past trauma, or just a sense that something’s not right — you're not alone, and support is available.
I offer a warm, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore whatever may be troubling you, whether that's something specific or a more general sense of dissatisfaction or emotional pain.
How I Work
I provide both short-term and long-term counselling for adults, depending on your needs and goals.
My approach is relational and integrative, which means I place value on the therapeutic relationship and tailor our work to you as an individual — your history, your personality, and your pace.
Together, we might explore:
How early experiences influence your present struggles
Patterns in relationships that feel difficult or unhelpful
Your emotional responses and how you relate to yourself
Ways to develop self-understanding, resilience, and self-compassion
Areas I Can Help With
I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including:
Anxiety, stress and low mood
Relationship and family issues
Gender, sexuality and identity (LGBTQ+ affirmative. Kink aware)
Trauma and abuse (including childhood sexual, emotional and physical abuse)
Domestic abuse (supporting both men and women)
Grief, loss and bereavement
Work-related problems or burnout
General personal development and self-exploration
Some people come with a clear issue. Others come simply with a feeling — “I’m not okay” — and we explore that together.
My Background
I have worked in:
NHS-funded LGBT+ counselling services
Domestic abuse agencies
GP surgery counselling settings
Private practice
This range of experience has allowed me to work with people from many different backgrounds and with varying levels of complexity in their concerns.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Additional information
I see clients in Kings Heath, South Birmingham.
Each of my appointments lasts 50 minutes. My fees are £60 per session, although a small reduction may be negotiable depending on circumstances. After an initial assessment period, if we agree to continue, I usually see individuals on a weekly basis.
On your first assessment visit we can discuss together what brings you to counselling, what you are hoping for and whether my style of working makes sense to you and your needs. It also gives you a chance to ask any questions and gives us both the opportunity to get an idea of whether we could work together - this is an important part of establishing a therapeutic relationship.

Further information
My belief in the influence of the counselling relationship in bringing about positive change is central to my offering a relational approach in which we can explore together your current issues and concerns as well as those stemming from the past.
The counselling relationship can often bring up feelings and behaviour that can belong in the past and can mirror the patterns of relating that have caused the very concerns that may be limiting your ability to live life as you would like and which have led to you seeking counselling. By looking at your early relationships and how you came to make sense of yourself, others and the world, we can explore together such patterns in a safe, therapeutic, non-judgemental context. The aim is to help you to achieve understanding, self-compassion and acceptance by deepening awareness of and working through the origins of such patterns and to shed light on your relationships with others and to help you to make changes if you so wish.
