Counselling

Whatever the problem, talking helps

It’s time to take back control of your mental health

Affordable • Professional • Confidential

We know the first step is often the hardest and we do all we can to make counselling as accessible as possible

Counselling

Imagine having a safe space, just for you, where your thoughts are really heard. If you commit to the process, counselling can be highly effective in:

helping you deal with difficult life events
helping you make sense of things and understand yourself better
helping you resolve complicated feelings, or find ways to live with them
helping you recognise unhelpful patterns in the way you think or act, and find ways to change them

Remember reaching out for help is a sign of strength. Don’t struggle on alone, we are here to help.

A flexible approach

Everything we do is designed to make accessing counselling as easy as possible.

We are open over 60 hours a week and you can have your sessions online over the telephone or in person from our centre in the heart of Birmingham city centre.

…and, if you are unsure whether counselling is for you, you can have a taster session on us!

Therapy for everyone

…whoever you are
…wherever you come from
…whatever you believe

The different voices, perspectives and day-to-day life experiences of our team and our clients enrich our charity and underpin the comprehensive range of therapeutic approaches we offer.

Testimonials

Lauren

My therapist was extremely understanding and kind, she asked me challenging questions that allowed me to express my emotions and understand and thought processes. Every counselling session was helpful and I couldn’t have asked for more.

Counselling helped me feel listened to and understood. I’ve learned to stop judging myself so harshly. After each session, I feel lighter emotionally.
