About the Therapist

About the therapist:

Are you finding life particularly difficult right now, or sensing that something just isn’t quite right—even if you can’t quite put your finger on it? Whether you're facing a specific issue like anxiety, low mood, or grief, or simply feel overwhelmed by life, therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of your experience.

I offer counselling in South Birmingham and online, creating a warm, supportive environment where you can feel truly heard. Here, you’re invited to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges without fear of judgement. Together, we’ll work to deepen your self-understanding and support meaningful personal growth.

My approach is grounded in person-centred counselling, focusing on empathy, acceptance, and your lived experience. Where helpful, I integrate other therapeutic approaches to tailor our work to your unique needs. I have experience supporting individuals with a wide range of issues including stress, depression, anxiety, low self-worth, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

I have specialist training in Gender, Sexual, and Relational Diversity (GSRD) and work in an affirming way with LGBTQIA+ clients and diverse relationship styles. My practice is also neurodivergent-affirming—as someone diagnosed in adulthood with Autism and Dyslexia, I deeply understand the need for a validating and non-pathologising space. I regularly support Autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent individuals in exploring life on their own terms.

Additionally, I hold advanced training in working with complex trauma (CCTP-II) and often support people navigating the ongoing impact of difficult or overwhelming past experiences.

If you're looking for a therapist who offers real understanding, flexibility, and affirmation of who you are, please feel free to contact me.

Supervision Services:

I am currently training to become a CPCAB Level 6 Supervisor, offering supervision for fellow counsellors. Sessions are priced at £25 per hour or £37.50 for 1.5 hours (fees will increase to £50 per hour starting in June).

As a supervisor, my aim is to provide you with support and challenge, working in line with your ethical framework to help you grow and reach your full potential. I draw from the Seven-Eyed Model Framework to guide our supervision sessions, encouraging reflection and continuous professional development (CPD).

In addition to my counselling practice, I have experience teaching and mentoring students, as well as providing supervision for counsellors from a variety of backgrounds. My commitment to inclusivity involves continuously challenging and reflecting on assumptions, biases, and stereotypes. I engage in regular ongoing CPD to further my education and improve my practice.

If you’re looking for supervision or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me for an initial conversation.
