Aldridge & Jewellery Quarter-based counsellor (and woman with ADHD)

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Stoney Meadow website - if you are in or around Aldridge or the Jewellery Quarter and are considering counselling, it is important that you find a professional with whom you think you will be able to build a strong therapeutic relationship.

I have a particular interest in helping women become aware of and free themselves from the rules they live by, rules created for them by society, culture and the family in which they grew up in. I also provide a healing relationship for women who have experienced trauma and abuse, or have not had their natural relationship needs met in their lives so far.

I really enjoy working with couples in my Aldridge space too. I have had the privilege of witnessing two people who have a strong love for each other reconnect and gain greater understanding of and compassion for one another in the warm and welcoming therapy space I provide.

However, I have also helped individuals with many other issues, including divorce, bereavement, issues around sex, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, family relationships and workplace stress.

Given my background in secondary education I also have a keen interest in child development and parenting, particularly fostering greater acceptance of one-child families by choice. Following my own journey of transitioning into midlife I run therapy groups for women considering existential perspectives on this new life phase.

I adore the work I do and look forward to meeting you soon. I welcome clients from Aldridge, Walsall, Streetly, Mere Green, Sutton Coldfield, Brownhills, Pelsall, Walsall Wood, Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham city centre, Great Barr, Perry Barr, Aston and beyond!
