I am a Integrative Counsellor which means that I combine several models of counselling, to fit the needs of each client, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). This means I tailor the therapy to suit you, because we are all individuals with different needs.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, CBT is recommended by the NHS, NICE guidelines, as you can achieve a lot with a fewer number of sessions, therefore it may be cost effective for you. For further details, visit my website page on About Counselling for Free Self Help Guides plus a video 'What is Counselling'.

I work with Individuals, Couples, Companies, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP’s) and other Groups, in Birmingham B1, Solihull B90 and Hall Green B28. With the aim of enabling people, to enhance their lives and to live them more fully.

I also offer Personal Therapy and Supervision to Counsellors and do Clinical Supervision for Individuals and Groups.

I also work with Critical Incident Debriefing and Post Traumatic Stress.

I have worked in many different settings as a Counsellor, including NHS Primary Care Trusts, Mental Health, Addiction Services, Domestic Violence, Occupational Health, Sexual Abuse, Relationships, HMP and Probation Service and with the Emergency Services. I still continue to work with some of the organisation’s I have previously worked with and have been in private practice for 12 years.
