Hello, I am Aga, an Integrative Counsellor, who specialises in LGBTQ+ related issues, gender identity, sexuality, addiction, codependency, anxiety, autism, OCD, intrusive thoughts, relationship difficulties, depression, low self-esteem, self-confidence, religious belief, coping with life changes, and more. I am dedicated to helping individuals from diverse backgrounds overcome various challenges.

Life and emotions can feel like a tangled mess of uncertainty and miss-direction. With 2 location in the area of Solihull, Serenity Psychotherapy offers a safe, welcoming, confidential space which contributes to supporting you through your difficulties. I am experienced in working with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and low self-esteem. My professional background has been in working with Autistic young adults with non-verbal communication and within a Sexual Health service as a psychotherapist. My approach combines different techniques associated with Person Centred Therapy and Transactional Analysis.

Counselling is effective in allowing you to make positive changes to your life, so you are able to deal with any overwhelming issues that are causing you emotional pain, unhappiness, or stress. Perhaps you're feeling trapped or blocked by the past, feeling stuck in survival mode with old patterns that keep resurfacing. Maybe you are recently grieving from a bereavement or a loss of some kind, or simply can’t make sense of a general flatness or despair with feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety. I provide a non-judgemental, inclusive space to explore these difficult thoughts and feelings to gain greater understanding.

My professional journey spans over two decades. I've dedicated over 20 years to the field of education, where I have played a crucial role in supporting children's mental health to foster resilience. This experience includes two years as a school counsellor and mental health lead, providing students with the guidance and support they need to overcome their challenges. I've also spent five years as a divorce coach, assisting couples and individuals as they navigate the often difficult process of separation and divorce.

Sometimes we experience difficulties in our lives, whether that be individually or in our relationship. As an Integrative Therapist working with individuals and couples, we can work together to explore those individual or relationship difficulties at whatever pace you feel comfortable with. Working in an integrative way means I am able to tailor your therapy sessions to your needs and goals combining a variety of modalities including, Person-Centred Approach, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment Theory.

A young person facing various emotional and mental health challenges. They may be struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, or family conflicts.

I am an experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor working with children and teenagers, from differing ages and levels of understanding, using creative interventions like art and play. Topics and concerns that have been explored include self esteem, worries, anxiety, low mood, self harm, and identity, amongst others.

We all experience fear, panic & sadness in our lives, and this can sometimes feel overwhelming. My focus is to help individuals understand the thoughts and behavioural processes that can maintain these emotions. I support & encourage healing by identifying inner strengths and develop strategies to manage and reduce these feelings in a healthy, helpful and productive way, in a neutral, safe & non-judgemental environment

Expressing your thoughts and feelings in confidence, and with someone who can ensure a caring and empathetic space is empowering.  Making changes is not easy, and that is precisely why I engage a very human approach to a number of models of talking therapies.

Whether you know what problems you want to address or if things just don’t feel right, talking to someone can help. Together we can identify and work to overcome the issues that are creating difficulties or distress. As an integrative therapist I use a variety of trusted therapeutic modalities, which are tailored to your personal needs, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), attachment theory and person centred therapy. I provide a safe environment where you can talk openly without judgement, with a friendly down to earth therapist to achieve emotional and psychological wellbeing.

I am a kind and creative Child Therapist with an unwavering Passion for helping children and adolescents deal with life's crises. With a profound love for nature and a heart full of Patience, I feel I have a rich background as a teacher for primary school-aged children, a nursery and theatre school owner, and a counsellor specialising in supporting individuals through various challenges. I have a particular affinity for working with children who have Special Educational Needs (SEN) and those with attachment issues.

Perhaps you have a sense that something is not right, that you are not able to enjoy life fully. Through our child & adult experiences, we often ‘take on’ other people's views of ourselves, meaning we have beliefs about ourselves that are not true to who we really are. For eg-I will only be liked if I do what others want/I cannot cope with life because I am weak/why can’t I be like others, or perhaps you notice your behaviour changes when you are around people. We can adopt negative behavioural patterns that influence the way we relate to ourselves & others, impacting the way we live and inform us of who we are.
