My Approach

Often in life we are expected to fulfil many roles. Some we may have chosen, others we might have had put on us. Therapy is a space where you can be yourself; where the roles you play in life can be shed and you get a chance to just be you. 

From this place of being you, we can work together to decide how you want to live.

I am not here to tell you what is wrong with you or instruct you on what to do. I am here to walk alongside you, to be a confidante and a gentle guiding hand as you work out what it is you need next. 

I offer a non-judgmental and confidential space for you to explore what you are struggling with. Talking about what is going on for you might seem small, but from those small conversations, big changes can occur.

I weave into my work the soothing influence of nature; as a metaphor, as a memory and as a place to be. If you are interested in working outdoors in nature, or want to include nature somehow in our work, please let me know.

I have an ongoing commitment to studying and learning to improve as a therapist and I hold an up-to-date enhanced DBS.

About Me

I am a therapist working in Birmingham, creating a welcoming space for people to explore they are struggling with.

I am passionate about therapy as a space where people can find time for themselves, a space to reflect on life and what they want from it, and a space to grow to their full potential.

I work with

  • Individuals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I work with depression to help people re-find purpose and to explore what it is that is at the root of the deep hurt they have been feeling.
I work with people facing all different kinds of traumas, helping them to work through their experiences. I work with the body experience to allow people to begin relearning feelings of safety before we tackle the traumatic experiences. The security of the people I work with is always the most important thing.
