As an integrative psychotherapist I am here to go on a journey of self-discovery with you with any difficulties that may arise on the journey. Whether you’re seeking a simple improvement or healing from deep wounds, within yourself and/or with others, I can help. I understand that at times your family/friends may be part of the problem, this is where I come into your situation with fresh eyes, an open heart, and much experience and strength to help you regain your sense of who you are.

I have worked as a counsellor/psychotherapist since 2003. I work with short-term clients using CBT and solution focused models. The aim here is to help clients to learn strategies and solutions for coping with their difficulties. I also work with gestalt and the person centred models. These models are more relational working in the "here and now" of what is going on relationally between the client and myself. These models are more suited to longer term work to assist clients to find their way through the difficulties they are experiencing. I work with body, thoughts, feelings & emotions. I work with both individuals and couples.

Are you struggling with life and it's challenges? Maybe you are feeling anxious or depressed or maybe you are finding it difficult to make choices. We all find ourselves facing difficult situations at various times in our lives and sometimes having someone to listen can be all we need. I offer counselling to individuals who wish to explore the difficulties that they face in their lives in a safe, confidential, supportive and non-judgemental environment.

I am an accredited member of BACP and UKCP with experience in the NHS, university, and voluntary sectors, and in private practice since 2002. Sharing what troubles you, in a professional setting, is a positive step towards creating a better life for your self. Perhaps you have become frustrated with bringing about change in your life or maybe life events are beginning/continuing to cause you difficulties. You may be aware of thoughts or feelings about these - or experience them physically in your body. You may also feel stuck in trying to bring about change on your own, or to be different from how you experience yourself right now.

I can help you explore and make sense of previous events and recurring patterns in your life such as childhood experiences, trauma, relationship problems and breakdowns. By exploring your issues in the confidential space I offer, your understanding of how you have arrived at this current position in life will increase. I will listen to you with great attention and respect. For 10 years I have helped many people to reach a place of acceptance and fresh insight on how to move forward positively. I am able to work in a Solution Focused way to assist you identify your strengths, achieve your goals and regain a greater sense of purpose.

Hello and welcome to my profile. Life can throw some unexpected and difficult times at us. This is probably even more true than ever at the moment! Reaching out for support is a first step towards working through these difficulties. Sometimes it might feel like you will never feel better, but counselling or psychotherapy can support you towards finding life's challenges more manageable.

I work with over 18s, and with anyone who wants to work with someone who- at last - will meet them not judge them, and bring maturity, tolerance, patience, compasison -and challenge to a longer for change process . You'd choose me if you want to work with a genuine person who's spent his life in the service of growth and change, used his own extensive personal therapy to develop the skills and safety to work effectively with others and who's had over 20 years experience of supporting successful outcomes for clients. Whatever your difficulty -short term or chronic- my breadth of experience with our common human suffering is on offer

As an integrative psychotherapist, I work from a humanistic approach, which means I view my clients holistically, considering their views, backgrounds and experiences. I believe that we all have an innate ability to develop ourselves and our potentials. Over our lifetimes, we all form ways of thinking and being to adjust to our environments. However sometimes these habits and beliefs are no longer useful and can become hurdles, preventing us from progressing. This is where contacting a psychotherapist can be your first step towards self-development.

Everyone needs a bit of help sometimes. Life can get overwhelming and it can be hard to see a clear way through. I work with you in a secure and confidential environment to work through issues that are holding you back. It may be depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief or general feeling of a lack of fulfilment in your life. Talking to a professional can help you to untangle your thoughts and feelings and navigate a path towards better peace of mind.

It can be daunting or confusing figuring out which counsellor or psychotherapist to choose that will fit your needs best. However, the important thing right now is that you have started the journey of wanting to understand yourself better and bring about the changes you want and need within your life; I am here to embark this journey with you where you are listened to, seen and heard in a professional, confidential but also a comfortable environment. We will together explore the issues you raise up where your therapy is tailored toward your needs. You are not alone.

Stress, anxiety, depression is no longer such a taboo subject, yet we often tell ourselves, I can cope with this myself or maybe nobody will want to listen because nobody has time, or how about I’m too ashamed and I blame myself so I will cope with this by myself...... Well I am here to offer you the space to speak the unspoken and explore worrying thoughts together. The problem might be a recent incident that has left you feeling unsettled or a long standing concern deep rooted in unresolved trauma that has affected you e.g. sleepless nights, social anxiety, fear, relationship issue, performance at work, mood, self worth.

Struggles with distress, rumination, self-criticism, destructive and repetitive behaviours you don’t want, relationship difficulties and loss are experiences that I believe will impact all of us over the course of our lives. Finding it hard to have clarity, understanding and compassion for yourself can also make it hard to reach out to others. It can also sometimes be difficult for those closest to us to respond in a helpful way.

I am an experienced counsellor based in Central Birmingham and the Yardley/ Sheldon area. I help clients with a wide range of issues. What they all have in common is a desire to understand better how they came to be in this dark place, and how to make changes that help them to move forward to a happier future. I work to build a relationship of trust with you allowing you to feel safe as you explore your history and your goals for therapy. Together we can find the way through the difficulties. Whatever your situation, talking to a qualified counsellor is shown to help.

Hello and welcome to my profile. You've taken the most important first step to finding some help. Life can be pretty tough at times. Hard feelings do pass, but sometimes we get stuck and need help to gain insight and options to manage those feelings. I provide a safe space for you to explore what is going on. I work in a mindful way to reduce any anxiety you may be feeling and, if you would like, we can be creative using visualisation, art materials and toys to help you unlock things that you may not be able to put into words. I am experienced in video and telephone therapy, as well as face to face when circumstances allow.

Struggles in life are inevitable. Yet feeling overwhelmed by them and not coping isn’t. Sometimes we need extra support and guidance to be able to get past these hurdles. Feeling overwhelmed / worried / anxious? Like you can’t go on anymore? That you aren’t worth it? These are the type of issues that I work with to enable my clients to change this thinking pattern into a more healthier perspective and belief about themselves. To better understand yourself and work towards letting go of the baggage is being carried around on a daily basis. Together we can do this and so much more.

Do you… want to manage addiction, anxiety, anger, stress, low or depressed moods, relationship or work issues? I'm here to help you find and maintain more peace of mind, more motivation and more contentment in your life.

Thanks for viewing my profile. I'm a Chartered Health Psychologist, registered with the British Psychological Society (membership number 170578). I specialise in Solution-Focussed Therapy, which takes client strengths and resources as the starting point for supporting change. This means I do not seek to label, or put my clients in boxes. Instead I'm passionate about helping my clients find the confidence and self-belief to make the changes they want to make. I believe that by recognising our inner power, we can all achieve the futures we strive for.

I warmly welcome you to my page. You have taken a courageous first step towards improving your life satisfaction. I know that sometimes our sense of direction and ways of coping in life can get a little out of sync and even friends or loved ones seem absent or unable to help. Sometimes they're part of the problems we are dealing with. Whether you're seeking a simple improvement or healing from deep wounds, within yourself and/or with others, I can help.

There are many reasons why someone might seek counselling; emotional difficulties and fluctuating mental health affects us all. Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and sometimes lost. Persistent difficult thoughts and feelings can often get in the way of achieving what matters to us most or living life the way we would like. Therapy can help by providing a safe and supportive environment that encourages personal growth and development. A space to reconnect with our personal values and recognise what might be causing our difficulties.

I offer a Professional Counselling and Psychotherapy Service. If you are searching for a Therapist then it is likely that you are feeling some kind of emotional distress, dissatisfaction, emptiness or a lack of purpose. From time to time virtually everyone will experience life events that cause significant distress. These events maybe recent or may have occurred many years ago. Counselling and Psychotherapy are not only helpful for big traumatic life events but can also be beneficial when you are feeling ‘stuck’ or at a ‘cross roads’ point in your life.
