Please note that I have launched my new website for this service Talkwellcounselling.co.uk so feel free to visit that as well it has additional features like a videos blog page offering free therapy tips. https://talkwellcounselling.co.uk/ If you prefer to stay put on this site then read on🤗

I offer online video call and telephone counselling/psychotherapy and life coaching services to individuals, couples, families, and organisations. The integrative techniques I use incorporate Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming approach (NLP) Sandplay, Story Telling and Emotional Freedom ‘tapping’ techniques when working with both children and adults tailored according to the needs of the individual.

I am also trained in EMDR which is a powerful, effective and efficient process for treating trauma, PTSD, overcoming addictions and curing phobias. To learn more about the types of therapy I offer and what each one entails read the “Therapy Types” page.

Therapy is open ended with regular reviews but can also be short term and focussed, it all depends on what you need. Sessions are 1 hour long and take place on a weekly basis in my therapy room based in South Birmingham, or nationally via phone and skype.

I can offer session’s onsite within organisations such as schools, colleges and offices that are able to provide a suitable space, by prior arrangement.

My specialism is in supporting individuals, couples and families; in particular foster carers, separated families, and public sector workers in stressful jobs such as teachers, social workers, nurses and other public facing professionals.

I also offer specialist therapy that takes into account  sensitive faith based and cultural issues within diverse communities.

How do I start counselling?

Use the details on the ‘Contact‘ page to get in touch via phone, text, email or by completing the online web contact form below.

During the initial consultation we would have an informal discussion about your needs, and expectations and then decide if we felt comfortable to work together. We would discuss the likely length of therapy; if it is to be short or long term and plan 6 weekly reviews to discuss how things are progressing. Sessions take place at the same time and day weekly as agreed by us both. I will work collaboratively with you to help you achieve an improved state of health and well being.
