We can all get stuck navigating life changes and demands at various times on our journey to wholeness. My training and qualifications in Counselling and Psychotherapy enable me to provide a safe and confidential space for clients to explore their feelings in support of being a truer reflection of who they really are and living a life they love.

Although I work with different issues that people face, my work as a Psychotherapist at Talk Therapy Service is working with the impact of trauma; helping to make the really hard stuff easier to sit with and holding a space to process memories, thoughts and feelings as well as finding new ways of coping.

Having completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Drama my interest and career in mental health band physical well-being began. Initially I lectured in Psychology for several years focusing on developmental and social aspects of the field.

In order to make a difference to the community I lived in, I worked for 7 years as a Youth Worker for the Birmingham Catholic Archdiocese, specialising in the 16-30 age group and continued my professional development to Post Graduate level.

I am an Accredited member and registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Using an integrative approach and working holistically with clients I often incorporate the psychological, physiological, spiritual and emotional aspects of the challenges experienced in being human. Encouraging greater self-awareness and facilitation of the release of tension caused by life’s struggles.

As practising Catholic, I take an open approach to spirituality and welcome people from all faiths and backgrounds and from none.

I am a compassionate and dedicated Counsellor with a commitment to helping my clients navigate life’s challenges and achieve the growth they desire. As a firm believer in the power of the therapeutic relationship I offer open communication, empathy and non-judgemental support.
