I currently have availability for face to face sessions in two venues in Redditch as well as online and via telephone. 

Please contact me for specific availability. 

Hello, and welcome to my page. 

I’m a neurodiversity-informed counsellor offering short term CBT & Solution Focused Therapy and long term Person Centred Therapy. 

I understand how difficult it can be to choose the right therapist to meet your needs, so my aim is to offer you the right conditions for you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non- judgmental way. I’m a warm and gentle practitioner with a compassionate approach.

I use humanistic approaches to underpin our work together, as I believe that developing self-compassion can help the healing process. I may use other tools and techniques from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), if we are working in a short term, solution- focused way. 

I have experience working with adults and young people of varied ages and backgrounds, working with a wide range of issues including anxiety disorders, depression, bereavement, trauma, abuse, relationship issues and neurodiversity conditions such as ADHD and Autism. I completed my training working in a domestic abuse setting for West Mercia Police and The Mix. 

I chose to train as a counsellor after overcoming turmoil in my own life and experiencing chronic anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder from a very early age. This has given me the understanding and drive to help others affected by this debilitating condition. 

Counselling sessions are 50 minutes long and face to face appointments will be held at either:

The REDI Centre, 54 South Street, Redditch, B98 7DQ

or 

Redditch Therapy Centre, 91 Birchfield Road, Headless Cross, Redditch, B97 4LB.

I offer a free informal telephone consultation so we can establish what you hope to gain from therapy and if you’re happy for us to work together.
