Individual and Couples Counselling.

BACP Accredited Therapist - Face-to-face in Solihull and Online Sessions.

How can I help?

Individual Therapy

Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, feeling like you're not good enough, or like you're failing in some part of life - relationships, work, parenting, or just being yourself. Perhaps there's a sadness or anger you don't fully understand, or a heaviness you've been carrying for so long that it feels like an integral part of who you are.

My therapy opens up a place where you can come to make sense of what's affecting you and start to explore your feelings in a space that I hope feels comfortable, non-judgmental and safe.

As someone independent and outside of your day-to-day life, my approach helps you gain deeper self-awareness, enabling you to make more meaningful choices and discover new ways of responding and relating to the world.

Couples Therapy

Perhaps you find yourself having the same arguments, struggling to communicate, or feeling increasingly disconnected from one another? Maybe conflict and resentment have built up, you're feeling unheard or becoming defensive, or trust and intimacy have become difficult. You may find yourselves caught in patterns of one-upmanship, repeated arguments, or emotional disconnection, or perhaps your values and needs have changed over time, making it increasingly difficult to understand one another or move forward.

Couples therapy offers a safe, supportive space to understand the patterns you've become

caught in, explore what is happening beneath the surface, and find new ways of relating to one another. Together, we can create greater understanding, improve communication, rebuild connection and create the opportunity for something different.

You don't have to be in a crisis to need therapy

You might be:

• Constantly overthinking

• Feeling anxious or overwhelmed

• Struggling with your confidence or self-worth

• Exhausted from always looking after everyone else

• Experiencing difficulties in your relationship

• Struggling with work stress or burnout

• Finding yourself repeating patterns you don't understand

• Feeling unhappy despite life appearing 'fine' from the outside

• Struggling after a major life change, loss or relationship breakdown

I understand that reaching out can feel daunting. You might be asking yourself:

Do I really need therapy?

Will I be judged?

Will it even help?

These are all normal questions. You don't have to be in crisis to start therapy. You might just be feeling a bit lost, unsure, or tired of coping on your own. That's enough of a reason.

Not sure whether I'm the right therapist?

Let's have a short conversation first. You can tell me a little about what's bringing you to therapy, ask any questions and decide whether you'd like to take things further.

Head over to my My Approach page for a more detailed breakdown of how I work as a counsellor and psychotherapist in Solihull and online.

I offer effective support with:

Relationship issues • Anxiety • Depression • Low self-esteem • Stress • Bereavement

Get in touch

Taking the first step can feel hard - but you're very welcome to reach out. I offer a free, informal call so you can ask any questions you may have and get a sense of whether therapy with me feels like the right fit. If you'd prefer, you can fill out the booking form to request a call-back at a time that works for you.

All enquiries are treated with care and kept strictly confidential. I aim to respond within 48 hours. If there are any times it's not appropriate to leave a message, please let me know - I'm happy to contact you at a time that feels safe and comfortable for you.

Fees

Starting therapy is a meaningful commitment to yourself, and I want the process to feel as clear and supportive as possible from the start.

Individual counselling sessions are £70

Couples counselling sessions are £100

Payment is usually made by bank transfer before each session. I'll share the details with you when we begin working together.

I kindly ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange a session. This helps me offer the time to others who may be waiting. If less notice is given, the full session fee will still be payable.

If you have any questions or concerns about payment or scheduling, please don't hesitate to get in touch - I'm happy to talk it through.

Location

I offer confidential face-to-face sessions at my private practice in Solihull. The practice is quiet and peaceful, with plenty of parking and easy access to public transport.

In addition to face-to-face therapy, I offer online sessions via Zoom for clients in Solihull and beyond. Contact me to learn more about online therapy.
