About me and my therapy practice
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, which means I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to support you in the most effective way. If something isn’t resonating or hasn't worked for you in the past, we can use that insight to tailor our sessions to better meet your needs.
I am trained in several therapeutic modalities:
- Integrative Psychotherapy: This combines psychodynamic and humanistic techniques. We may explore how past experiences, including childhood, may influence your current thoughts and behaviours, while also focusing on the "here and now" to help you make practical changes in your life today.
- Dance Movement Psychotherapy: This approach helps explore non-verbal ways of communicating, such as identifying and expressing emotions through body awareness, movement, and art. It can be particularly helpful for those who find it difficult to put their feelings into words.
- I specialise in child and adolescent psychotherapy, working with young people, families, and parents to address a range of presenting needs. My work with children and adolescents includes navigating challenges such as anxiety, self-esteem, behaviour issues, and emotional regulation. I also support parents in understanding and responding to their child's needs, fostering stronger family dynamics.
By integrating these methods, I create a flexible and personalised approach that adapts to your unique needs, supporting you on your journey to healing and personal growth.
Practice description
Currently, I can offer online sessions, providing flexibility and convenience for you. However, if you prefer face-to-face sessions, I can arrange appointments at South Birmingham locations on request.
Specialising in Parents, Young People, and Families:
I work predominantly with parents, young people, teenagers, and students. However, I welcome adults who feel they may benefit from exploring their childhood, past experiences, and how these may influence current challenges within their relationship dynamics.
My first session
After receiving your enquiry, I offer a free 20-minute telephone (or Teams) consultation to understand your queries and initial reasons for seeking therapy. This consultation allows us to get to know each other a little better and ensures we’re a good fit for working together.
During this call, I may ask you some of the following questions:
Why are you looking for therapy now?
What do you hope to explore or work through in therapy?
Have you had therapy before? What was your experience?
How regular would you envision having therapy in your current lifestyle? (e.g. weekly, fortnightly, etc.)
Following this, we can arrange our first session, which lasts 50 minutes. This initial session allows us to explore your concerns in more depth and begin to work together towards your needs, well-being, or any areas you'd like to address.
