Counselling in B68

I currently work part time within the NHS as a Senior Psychotherapist and enjoy private practice alongside this. I enjoy my private practice above all experiences within various organisations, as this allows me to work to my fullest ability and support clients on a more profound level - one that is catered to the client's needs, timeframe and is trauma-informed.

I am a dedicated counsellor with a decade of experience, working in helping roles. I've spent my career supporting people towards improving their physical and mental wellbeing. I’ve worked with vulnerable adults in the community to manage severe and ongoing mental health conditions such as PTSD, Schizophrenia, Severe Depression and Anxiety. I also work as a Specialist Mentor supporting university students with ongoing mental health difficulties.

Life can present difficulties that we struggle to cope with. This may be due to relationships, work, loss, trauma to name but a few. Or it may be our reaction or the way we begin to cope with something that becomes the problem. We may get angry and start acting out because we struggle to assert ourselves. We may bury our feelings or seek to control them with addictions or compulsions ( such as alcohol, drugs, food, sex). These may provide temporary relief but in the long run create more difficulties in our relationships, our health, our finances and our safety.

Our life experiences and relationships with others can, at times, feel confusing, complex and painful. This can impact on our well-being and perhaps even the relationship we have with ourselves. I am passionate about helping, whether you are struggling, or have a need to feel connected with another. I offer a unique therapeutic relationship that I feel is a powerful experience, and an important part of the healing process. Whether you are experiencing difficulties with your mental health, struggling with a current situation or past experiences, or if you are wanting to grow and reach your full potential, I am here to support you.

I am a humanistic and integrative counsellor & psychotherapist working within Birmingham and surrounding areas. My aim is to meet each person as an individual and where they are in life. Exploring with you what is happening, your feelings, which are stopping you from achieving all your hopes and dreams. I believe that under the right circumstances, we all have the ability to grow and flourish and my aim is to walk alongside you, supporting you to a greater understanding of yourself. Face to Face sessions are held at my centre on Pottery Road, online sessions are carried out through Cliniko Telehealth.

I am a dual qualified BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and registered Social Worker. I use evidence-based psychological approaches to support adults to learn simple, practical, and effective techniques to help them cope better and keep moving forwards. My methods are based on deep pool of scientific research into behavioural, cognitive, emotional, neurobiological, and evolutionary principles. I am also qualified as an EMDR Therapist. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.

I’m Fran, an integrative counsellor here to walk alongside you through life’s twists and turns. Life can throw some pretty tough stuff our way, and managing thoughts and feelings can be quite the maze. If you’re finding it a bit tricky right now, know that it’s okay—I’ve been there too. Sometimes, all you need is someone willing to lend an ear, and that’s exactly what I’m here for. I get it; sharing your problems and difficulties can feel like opening up a whole can of worms. But, it’s also the first step to making sense of everything. In this safe space, we can unpack those thoughts, and dissect those feelings.

I offer a Professional Counselling and Psychotherapy Service. If you are searching for a Therapist then it is likely that you are feeling some kind of emotional distress, dissatisfaction, emptiness or a lack of purpose. From time to time virtually everyone will experience life events that cause significant distress. These events maybe recent or may have occurred many years ago. Counselling and Psychotherapy are not only helpful for big traumatic life events but can also be beneficial when you are feeling ‘stuck’ or at a ‘cross roads’ point in your life.

I’m a Registered Clinical Psychologist specialising in persistent mood difficulties and traumatic events (PTSD). With regards to trauma, I have expertise in treating single event and chronic trauma and the impacts of these experiences such as flashbacks, extreme emotional distress, reliving and unpleasant physical sensations. I also have significant experience in treating issues such as anxiety and low mood, feeling stuck and alone, and emptiness. I offer a compassionate and sensitive approach that takes account of your unique life story and provides the basis for meaningful change and resolution of your difficulties.

I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist who offers face to face, telephone and video-based therapy. I have a PG Diploma in CBT and have trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which allows me to utilise a combination of techniques most suited to individual needs. I work with both adults and young people aged 16 upwards. I am experienced at working with individuals who are struggling with low mood, depression and anxiety.

Well done for taking the first step to accessing support, alleviating some of the feelings of distress. This Is the hardest step and a daunting one, but hoping my profile encourages you to start your therapeutic journey. The integrative approach enables me to be responsive to your needs, to tailor the therapy to suit your specific concern. I am experienced in providing therapy to clients - suffering from complex and enduring mental health issues in difficult situations at times. I am well practiced in a wide range of skills, techniques and interventions to facilitate change, growth and to strengthen where there may be distress.

My name is Karen and I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor. I imagine you are here because something in your life is troubling you, holding you back and preventing you from feeling secure, happy and fulfilled. Please be reassured that it is perfectly normal at certain points in our life to face difficulties that can leave us feeling distressed, out of control and overwhelmed, resulting in us suffering mentally, emotionally and physically. You may want to look at the past, work on the present or question what matters to you and decide on goals for the future. We often struggle alone with our problems but you don't have to....
