My Approach
People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected — from themselves, from others, or from a sense of meaning in their lives. You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what’s wrong or what you want to change. We can begin from where you are.
I work in a way that is collaborative, thoughtful, and responsive to you as a whole person. That means we pay attention not only to thoughts and emotions, but also to how experiences are held in the body and shaped by past relationships and life events.
In sessions, we might explore patterns that keep repeating, make sense of difficult emotions, or gently look at earlier experiences that still have an impact today. We may also slow things down and notice what’s happening in the moment — helping you develop greater awareness, self-understanding, and choice.
I don’t believe in offering quick fixes or telling you how to be. Instead, I aim to create a steady, supportive space where you can think, feel, and reflect openly. Over time, this can help you build trust in yourself, feel more grounded, and respond to life with greater clarity and confidence.

What to expect
Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and it’s natural to have questions or uncertainties about what to expect. My aim is to offer a calm, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where you can bring whatever feels most present or important.
Sessions are confidential and take place in a comfortable setting in Kings Heath. I work with individual adults, offering a pace that respects where you are and what feels manageable.
Each session is an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and connect more deeply with yourself. There is no agenda or expectation — the work unfolds through conversation, curiosity, and careful attention to what emerges.
Over time, therapy can help you to develop greater clarity, self-understanding, and resilience, supporting you to navigate life’s challenges with more ease and authenticity.
Ways of working
I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. I support clients with issues including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma and PTSD, bereavement and loss, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, anger, abuse, identity and sexuality, eating difficulties, health-related concerns, and periods of significant life change. You do not need to fit a category — many people come simply feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure, and that is enough.
Alongside my core counselling training, I have undertaken extensive ongoing professional development in areas including trauma, relational work, mindfulness, creative and expressive approaches, and working with the nervous system. This continued learning supports a thoughtful, responsive approach that can be adapted to each individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in accordance with their ethical framework. I attend regular clinical supervision to support safe, reflective, and effective practice.
