I come from very diverse cultural background. When I thought about change of direction in life and doing something challenging I was not aware as to how much work there is involved to update your skills and knowledge. Know that i have reached my goal, I would like to support people in achieving their goals and over coming their difficulties.

You may have hit a rough patch in life and could use some support. You may be feeling a bit down or struggling with relationships. You may realise it is finally time to deal with stuff you've been avoiding. I offer private therapy and counselling to individuals looking to heal and grow.

People come to me because they identify a need for change but may not know how to achieve it, resulting in unhappiness or unease. Following assessment, we work collaboratively to achieve their desired outcome. Problems experienced could be difficulties across the lifespan requiring an open ended approach beginning with an exploration of early life, or perhaps a current situation that requires a short-term working agreement to alleviate distress. With a flexible, creative and integrative approach, together we work to make sense of and heal the root causes of pain creating life-limiting barriers.

You may be looking here because you are dealing with upsetting or challenging feelings and experiences, feeling overwhelmed, or having troubles in your relationships. If so, psychotherapy could help you. In the psychotherapy sessions you can explore various aspects of your life and feelings, talking about them freely and openly in a way that is rarely possible with friends or family. Bottled-up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief and embarrassment can become very intense and counselling offers an opportunity to explore them, with the possibility of making them easier to understand.

My main work consists of Couples counselling as well as trauma focused work, which includes childhood trauma. The work involves psycho education around brain fragments, where clients work to assess when they are operating from the frontal lobe and when they switch to the limbic system where they are reliving old trauma memories. Since Covid there has been an increased demand for couples work. A lot of work is around working with couples in troubled relationships. I work with children and young people who have experienced trauma and sexual abuse as well as bereavement support work.

If your feeling distressed, anxious, low, upset, confused, bereaved, and/or in pain then I would like to help you feel better, because feeling that way is just awful. Often talking things through with someone who has a good listening ear and other skills can help you figure things out more thoroughly and that can help YOU feel better about yourself. We are all complex individuals and at times in our lives, talking to someone can really help. Always know that your thoughts and feelings are just as important as anyone else's. Its about how you really ' feel on the inside'. Feel free to contact me to see if talking to me can help you.

Everyone goes through hard times, sometimes really hard times. When that happens, you can suddenly feel as though you’re not quite sure who you are anymore. “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” - Carl Jung. This is my favourite quote from the counselling world because I truly believe that we are all capable of doing this, we just sometimes need a little helping hand.

Hello! I'm Kayleigh, an Art Therapist who works in person and online based in Birmingham. As an Art Therapist, I use art materials and artwork to help explore expression, thoughts, feelings and different ways of communication (verbally and nonverbally), as words can sometime be difficult to find. Art Therapy can be a gentle way to express and recall memories and lived experiences. You do not need any previous artistic experiences or skills - infact, you do not even need to make any art!

Distress in life can bring about: confusion, pain, self-blame, anger, self-blame, isolation, loneliness, negative coping mechanism and many other symptoms. It is important to know that anyone of us can experience mental distress and there are several reasons why this may happen, including: trauma, difficult life events, early life experiences and biological basis. My job is to people make sense of their concerns, and find balance during these difficult times so that they can get to their optimum level of functioning again.

Hi, my name is Claire and I am a child and adult psychotherapist. Often people don't fully understand why they feel bad and this can lead to confusion and feeling ashamed. The feelings are experienced throughout the whole body and can be so overwhelming that they can lead to panic, depression, anxiety and challenging or self-destructive behaviours. I help clients understand how things are for them right now, validate their challenges and help them see their unique strengths, all within the context of an accepting and compassionate relationship. I use neuro-scientifically informed approaches to help heal

During the past 25 years that I have worked as a Counsellor, I have had the great privilege and opportunity of seeing people's lives change for the better. We all have challenges in our lives and most of the time we manage them through our own resources and with the help of trusted friends and family. There are times however, when we need professional help and assistance. I am able to offer confidential counselling in a comfortable setting. My aim would be to work with you to understand your situation and assist you in finding resolution.

Are you feeling really low and depressed and anxious but don't know why? You are stuck and do not know how to overcome this feeling....Thinking about counselling can be quite daunting and not knowing what to expect can be quite frightening.
