Every now and then life puts in front of us some obstacles that can be difficult to overcome without support. When left to our own accords these hurdles can often take us on a downward spiral, and lead us to feel insufficient, insecure, anxious, stressed or even depressed. It may be a familiar relationship that brings in the challenge or a social, behavioural, financial or work related issue. The worries that keep you up at night may be due to many reasons but if they are taking over and leave you feeling isolated in life, it might be time to seek support from someone who can help navigate through the difficult period.

Asking for help and deciding to go for counselling can feel nerve racking and scary. People come from all different walks of life and there is no right or wrong reason for deciding counselling could be something that could help you. It could be something that feels quite insignificant for you or perhaps it is something that is feeling overwhelming and there is no space for anything else. Whatever it is, it seems important to me that you are reaching out by looking on here for some further help or support, please get in touch for an informal chat to see if i can help you.

Psychologist, PsychD, HCPC - Clin. Psych.
Verified
I work with adults, couples and families where issues such as depression, anxiety and stress are limiting fulfilment in relationships, career, education and personal life. These difficulties can be an outward expression of more longstanding emotional pain, sometimes caused by loss, abuse or other traumatic events. In my experience, it is possible to overcome these difficulties, whilst stepping forwards to a preferred future.

As a counsellor my goal is to provide you with a safe, confidential and compassionate place where you can receive encouragement and support as you navigate through your challenges of life. At some time in our life we will experience situations that we find difficult to cope with or make sense of, which can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Whether in our relationships or working lives, due to bereavement or any major life change. Whether you are going through, depression, stress or anxiety, there is hope.

Counsellor, MNCS Accred

My main work consists of Couples counselling as well as trauma focused work, which includes childhood trauma. The work involves psycho education around brain fragments, where clients work to assess when they are operating from the frontal lobe and when they switch to the limbic system where they are reliving old trauma memories. Since Covid there has been an increased demand for couples work. A lot of work is around working with couples in troubled relationships. I work with children and young people who have experienced trauma and sexual abuse as well as bereavement support work.
Rabina Khaliq
Psychotherapist, MSc, BACP
Verified
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.

Sometimes life can feel like a struggle, a struggle that you feel alone with. It doesn't matter how many people are around you or not, the feeling remains the same, isolation and a lack of support. Interactions with others may not feel authentic, they may bring up feelings of anxiety, a lack of safety or even feelings of deficiency or self-blaim. And the most confusing part is that your experience of yourself alone, or with others, makes little sense.

Birmingham Solihull Therapy

If anxiety is getting in the way of you living your life the way you want to, we can work together to change that. Anxiety can creep up on us and there doesn't need to have been a big trigger for it to have a real impact on our lives. I work with people to overcome a wide range of anxiety based difficulties, such as general worry, phobias, panic attacks, obsessions and compulsions and PTSD. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help you understand your anxiety, become less fearful of it and find ways to tackle it. Therapy can also help you to recognise what you are already doing that is helpful - there is always more than you think!
Evolving Journeys
Counsellor, MBACP
Verified
Life can be overwhelming at times, and we may feel that we don't have control of what is happening in our relationships, family, friends and work. We can be presented with many issues and not know how to process them. You want to speak to someone who will not judge. You want a safe space to talk through what is in your head and know you are free to be heard. Over time we can tend to bury what may have happened to us in our past and our present. These feelings and thoughts can be processed in a way that helps you grow into your awareness and healing.
