Trauma and PTSD Counselling in Birmingham
I'm an Integrative Psychotherapist with over 10 years experience, including 5 in a specialist trauma service.
People-pleasing rarely arrives alone. It brings company of anxiety that won't switch off, avoiding confrontation at almost any cost, a constant low hum of not being quite good enough. Sometimes it means saying yes to plans you didn't have the energy for, because disappointing someone felt worse than disappointing yourself.

I can help you gain a greater understanding of the issues you are facing and support you to feel empowered to make significant and lasting changes in your life.

I specialise in birth trauma, pregnancy anxiety and fear of childbirth and can help you feel more grounded and present.
I use CBT and EMDR to gently work through what happened and what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll calm anxious thoughts, process difficult experiences, and build practical tools you can use when panic or dread hits. Over time, you can move from survival mode to feeling safer in your body and more present in pregnancy and motherhood.

For love and life, let's build courage together.
Life can be very dark and difficult. During or after painful experiences, you may find yourself feeling changed somehow. Things just aren't the same. You feel hopeless, lost or at absolute rock bottom. In our space, even the most horrendous experiences can be explored openly and without judgement. I'll sit with you in your deep darkness and emotional pain without rushing to solutions or offering false reassurance. Sometimes, before we can move forward, we need somewhere safe and honest to stop and make sense of where we are, in a world where some things just cannot be squared.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety, overthinking or emotional exhaustion start to take over. You may be coping on the outside while feeling stuck or disconnected inside. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t what happened, but carrying it alone for too long. Many people come to therapy feeling tired of being strong, confused by their emotions, or disconnected from themselves. I offer a quiet, thoughtful space to slow down and gently explore what’s beneath the surface—without pressure, labels or judgement...

People seek counselling and psychotherapy for various reasons. Not everyone knows what is bothering them. Often it is the difficulties and challenges of daily life that become overwhelming and unmanageable, impacting relationships, work and decision making. It is sometimes beyond the control of the individual to address those issues without professional help.

You might come to therapy feeling anxious, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted—perhaps from difficult relationships, addictions, low mood, anxiety, or years of holding yourself together. Many people I work with worry there’s something wrong with them. I don’t see it that way. Struggling doesn’t mean you’re broken; it means you’re human, shaped by complex and often painful life experiences.
I work without diagnosis or assessment, meeting you as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms or problems to solve. Our work is collaborative and relational, focused on understanding your experience deeply, rather than fixing.

You deserve to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.....Do you agree with this statement? Sometimes life feels difficult and losing sight of what is meaningful can cause significant distress. Making time for yourself to understand your thoughts and feelings and establish what you truly value in life is so important.

My clinical experience encompasses many years working in a mental health setting and private practice dealing with a broad range of symptoms including, but not limited to, chronic trauma, loss or abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, marital difficulties, child-parent conflicts, self-harm, bi-polar disorder, addiction and border-line states – to name just some of the presenting issues.
Psychotherapy isn’t always about words because at times it can be difficult to talk. My practice incorporates the use of creative methods to aid the expression of feelings and imagery.
