Hello...

People usually seek Counselling or Psychotherapy because they are feeling uncomfortable in their lives. Perhaps you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or low self-worth. Are you short-tempered, easily distracted, weepy, struggling to sleep, or just feeling uneasy and want someone to talk to?
I can empathise and would love to work with you, without judgement or jargon!
Do you feel like an outsider? a misfit? not part of the family? Perhaps you feel judged by others. Are you covered in Tattoos? Ride a rat bike? Listen to death metal? Lost your Faith? Dating outside your culture? Bullied throughout your childhood? Are you a sex worker? into S&M? Had your child removed by Social Services? Spent time inside? Misused substances?

Rest assured; I don't shock easily.

Therapy with me...

I live in Kingswinford in the West Midlands. My roots are humble, and I am proud of them. They have made me who I am today. I am honest, friendly and down-to-earth. It is my personal experience of counselling, and the benefits thereof, that lead me to qualify as a counsellor. I am passionate about mental health, having not only worked in the sector for over a decade but also struggled with my own traumatic history and mental health (and the stigma surrounding it). I want to give my clients time and the chance to be really heard, to be visible, validated and understood without judgement. I have many varying personal interests and hobbies from Heavy Metal, Motorbikes and Tattoos to Crochet. I am kink aware/friendly.
I am an Accredited Member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
