Hello, I am Mahalia. I am a person-centred psychotherapist. Sometimes we need space to feel heard, sometimes we need space to think and be present with ourselves. I am non-judgemental regardless of my own values and beliefs. As your therapist I will accept you for who you are and meet you with empathy. I will be with you in your chaos, in your binding and I will be patient with your process. With a person-centred approach I welcome people from all walks of life providing empathy, honesty, and unconditional positive regard.

You have made it this far because you have realised that this issue is now causing you emotional or psychological pain. You owe it to yourself to take the next step and go and reach out for help whether it be with myself or another therapist. Don't let yourself down any longer, I wish you well and know from my own experience a little more awareness can create in you the healing you ache for. I will provide a unique tailored therapy that is yours alone.

Maybe you’re looking for some support right now? I can help, working online means I work across the UK. Maybe you have anxiety or depression? Do you want to manage different transitions in life, or perhaps your confidence feels low? I work with a variety of topics, utilising techniques to best suit you. Talking about your difficulties may feel overwhelming. However, I provide a safe space for you to be listened to and to help you to see things differently. I believe you’re the expert in you and will support you to explore your difficulties at a pace to suit you. I’m a registered member of BACP, currently offering online sessions.

My way of working is somewhat dependent on you and your wants from a therapy space. I am trained to work with CBT, person-centred and attachment based therapy. I have done additional training in: Somatic Abolitionism, Emotional Regulation Skills and CBT adapted to work with those that self-define as autistic. I have worked with many clients and believe therapy works best by meeting the client where they are and towards what they identify they need. I work openly with race and other forms of systemic oppression in therapy and support clients from minoritised identities to explore this in therapy.

I help women overcome trauma, domestic abuse and sexual abuse, so that they can fall in love with themselves and with their ideal partner, reclaim their confidence, and never have to endure harmful relationships ever again. Are you struggling with flashbacks or nightmares, feeling embarrassed about someone mistreating you or having moments when you suddenly feel numb, angry or tearful out of nowhere? If yes, then therapy will help you stabilise your mood, feel safe again and rediscover pleasure in daily life. Even if you have had therapy before, specialist support will get you from where you are to where you want to be.

Hi there :) Are you looking for support around coming out? Transitioning? Questioning your gender, sexuality or another aspect of your identity? Recovering from experiences of harm? Or perhaps need a safe space where you can feel understood and respected so you can get on with talking about what's going on for you? When we are unable to (safely) be our authentic selves we can experience great stress, anxiety, low mood as well as other challenges. Counselling and an exploratory listening approach such as the one I practice can really help to improve self relationship, reduce distress and isolation & increase well being.

Hello and welcome. We all face difficulties at times, things that happen to us can feel overwhelming and result in worry, sadness or anger. Perhaps you want to feel more in control of your feelings, want to do more of the things you enjoy, or spend more quality time with others. Talking therapies can help you understand what may be causing and maintaining your problems, and can explore how to manage your feelings and thoughts in better, healthier ways. As a result, you may feel more able to cope with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, bereavement and other issues and life challenges.

I can offer a warm, empathetic and compassionate environment for us to explore your troubles, and what might be underlying these.

As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw on a range of theories to work in a way that best suits your individual needs. I can work with a range of presenting issues such as anxiety, depression, body image and bereavement, with the aim of helping you make sense of your experiences and cope with the often difficult world we live in.

Do you sometimes feel crushed under the weight of traumatic experiences from your past? These experiences can prevent you from moving forwards and keep you hostage, repeating unhelpful patterns. I would like to support you on your journey to becoming who you really are and in trusting that inner voice. Working together towards self love with gentle compassion we can create a space where you can go beyond just surviving. At your own pace we will challenge stories and patterns of behaviour that block the path to meaningful change, wholeness and healing.

I strive to create a space that works for everyone no matter your age, gender, sexuality, race or disability status.

I am Sade and I aim to support you with varying emotional, psychological and general difficulties. I also realize that not everyone has a main 'problem' as such. We sometimes simply want to understand ourselves better, explore our feelings discreetly and without judgement, develop healthier relationships and have better life experiences. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy at this time, you are welcome to my practice, Simi Sara. I hope we can develop a relationship that supports you in reaching your goals, dealing with hard issues and being heard. Sessions with me are usually weekly, at a time convenient for us.

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.

Sometimes we reach a point in our life where feelings of anxiety or depression take over. Together we can explore what brought you to this point in a caring, non-judgmental and welcoming environment. We will look for any patterns or early decisions made in childhood and work towards making new ones that work better for you. I have found that the journey of psychotherapy is a challenging but very rewarding journey of self-exploration, self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Hi my name is Matthew. The chances are that you have found your way here because you have realised that you need support or would like to work through certain problems and anxieties. My experiences have allowed me the opportunity to help people through issues such as Depression, Anxiety, Bereavement, Panic attacks, Anger and loneliness to name a few. As a counsellor I have spent the last two years offering counselling support to young people in a secondary school and allowing them to work through their issues in a creative and helpful way to them.

Do you feel you don’t have goals or you can’t achieve them although you have tried everything? Do you feel paralysed or overwhelmed facing certain situations? Do you feel everything is annoying or your anger, sadness or fear last for long time? Do you feel stuck with some thoughts and you can’t stop overthinking them? Do you see these features within a member of your family? I think everyone will feel like this over the course of our lives, even it can be adaptative. However, sometimes we can struggle to find clarity and understanding , at the same time that respect both ourselves and others.

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.

My clinical framework is integrative which means that I am trained in several specialities and I use whatever the individual client needs.

You feel like you can’t cope, you’re fed up, you’ve had enough. Your life isn’t what you want it to be. Living has become hard and there’s no joy in your world. It’s like everyone else except you is happy. You’re haunted by your past. You think you’ll never be happy again. You feel alone like no one else understands how hard your life is at the moment. On the outside you look fine but inside you feel like you’re dying. Everything you do feels like an act to look like you’re okay. You don’t know how to change things or what to do about it anymore.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in Birmingham?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Birmingham specialise in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or counsellor who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
Can I afford counselling?
Yes. Most counsellors offer reasonable rates or will work on a sliding scale basis. Many accept health insurance. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the counsellor.
