About Me

​

People usually come to me because something is not working. They may feel anxious, low, stuck in a relationship, overwhelmed by the past, or frustrated that the same problems keep coming back.

​

My job is to help you make sense of what is happening and why.

​

I originally trained as an integrative counsellor, with person-centred, Gestalt and psychodynamic approaches at the heart of my training.

 

I am now undertaking further professional training in Jungian Analytical Psychotherapy with the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy (WMIP).

​

This means I am interested not only in the problem you are facing now, but also in what may be driving it underneath.

 

Sometimes we know what we do, but not why we keep doing it.

​

Before moving into private practice, I worked with adults in a community counselling service in Birmingham. I have also taught clinical skills at postgraduate level.

​

I usually begin with an assessment period.

 

This gives us a chance to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you want help with, and whether I am the right therapist for you.

​

I mainly offer longer-term psychotherapy, but I do not force people into one way of working.

 

We start with what is happening in your life and work from there.
