Women's Issues Counselling in Birmingham

Hi, my name is Gemma and I’m a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years experience in the NHS and independent practise. I specialise in supporting people who are experiencing psychological difficulties due to a physical health problem, perhaps from illness, injury, a medical problem or a long -term condition. I have particular interest and expertise in pain management, oncology, palliative care and women's health (e.g. peri-menopause, fertility).

Are you having more bad days than good? Feeling fed-up, depressed, anxious or grieving and having trouble ‘to shake’ those difficult feelings? Perhaps you are feeling stuck or having trouble with your relationships? We can feel we ‘should’ be able to cope which can be make our differcult feelings more tough and feel very isolating for you too. I know how daunting it can be to share your thoughts and feelings with someone. Before becoming a therapist, I felt the same. Together can create a create a sanctuary, a place where you can ‘come as you are’ and share what is you are experiencing. A time and space, just for you

I feel passionate about helping other women thrive. So, I typically work with women, who are looking to effect change in their lives. Over the years, I have worked with thousands of women, who felt stuck, with little or no control over their personal or professional lives. They reported feeling hopeless, frustrated, and tired of the status quo. Some, saw their identity no longer aligning to their values, or their purpose threatened by the natural order of things like children leaving, unworkable relationships, loss of loved ones, stress at work, or hormonal changes and even traumatic experiences that left them wondering...What Next?

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.

Starting therapy is brave! It is not often that we give ourselves the opportunity to explore our emotions on a deeper level. My belief is that sharing our innermost feelings with another can be one of the most healing human experiences. The space we share is non judgemental, accepting and warm, it is our shared connection which contributes to your growth, self acceptance and the change you are looking for. My clients are from all walks of life, with a range of challenges, from low self worth and crippling anxiety to depression and loss of identity. What they all share is their desire to grow and the courage to start exploring.

Hello, I am Dr Rima Lamba. I'm a feminist counselling psychologist with an interest in the unique experiences of women from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I work closely with women who have struggled with self esteem & identity, relationship issues, difficulties in motherhood, life transitions, attachment and early trauma, and transgenerational trauma.

When emotional problems arise it can be difficult to know where to turn and pressures to cope can leave us isolated and desperate. There may be people around who offer their time but feelings of shame and fears can make it difficult to make use of them. It might be that there is no-one to speak to and problems originating in the past are getting in the way of you finding satisfaction in life. Traumas can remain unprocessed and present themselves in everyday life. Psychotherapy is a way of exploring oneself and relationships to try to make sense of the patterns and issues that are blocking you.

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.
