About me
Does this sound familiar? I don't know what to think? What is going on? Who can I share this with? How can I deal with this? When will it end? How can I change this? Who will support me? If you can relate to any of these you have come to the right place.
I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and life coach working with adults, and teenagers. My major interest is helping others to build up fulfilling relationships, develop effective communication skills and connect to who they are. I work towards synergy between the mind and the body. I’m also qualified and trained to use the Rewind Technique, this technique is predominantly used for those suffering from PTSD, Phobias and/or trauma-related issues.
I offer one to one counselling and career development. It is my privilege to provide a confidential, encouraging and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts to gain personal understanding, insight and direction. My practice is based in Sutton Coldfield.
At times life is really challenging and clarity is difficult to find, but it is possible in a private, accepting and supportive environment where thoughts can be explored fully without interruptions. I take a flexible approach, determined by your pace and comfort, or use one of my programs that works on various areas of personal development.

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.

FIRST STEPS AND FEES
After an initial contact by e-mail or phone we will arrange an appointment as convenient.
The first session is an opportunity for us to meet and get to know each other. It will be a space for you to ask any questions you may have about me or the counselling process and to talk about what brings you to counselling. At the end of this session we should have a good idea as to whether we want to work together and continue with further sessions. Alternatively, you may want to go away and think about it for a few days.
Once the decision is made to continue we will establish a ‘contract’ that we both feel comfortable with. This will make clear the confidential nature of the sessions, the cancellation policy and establish our commitment to working together in regular weekly sessions. For example we may initially contract to meet for 8 weeks, to see how that works out. This may be a sufficient number of sessions or you may then decide to continue open-endedly. A review of our work together is taken part way through the therapy.
Fees: Each session is 60 minutes, £60.00
