Bupa Counselling in Smethwick
Therapy is a journey of self-discovery — one that unfolds in the presence of another person who truly listens and supports you. As your therapist, my priority is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and accepted. This foundation of trust is where meaningful change begins. In our sessions, we’ll work with the whole of who you are — your experiences, your relationships, your patterns, and your strengths. I draw on evidence-based approaches that I believe in deeply, but I also know that therapy is only effective when it’s tailored to you. You are a unique individual, and I’m committed to making therapy a personalised experience

Hi, my name's Sarah and I'm a clinical psychologist. The decision to see a therapist can feel daunting and anxiety provoking. Please be reassured that this is absolutely normal.

If work has pushed you past your limits, you may recognise the pattern. Exhausted but wired. Irritable with people you care about. Unable to switch off, and starting to wonder whether this is burnout or something more like depression. Many of my clients are professional men who carried this for a long time before contacting anyone. Therapy with me is confidential and practical, and we work to a plan agreed between us.

Many people today are successful in their careers but feel confused, disconnected or unfulfilled in their relationships. We are rarely taught the emotional skills required for healthy relationships, communication and genuine partnership.

Many people who come to therapy feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking or self-criticism that seem difficult to break. You might find yourself replaying conversations long after they’ve happened, struggling with confidence, or carrying the emotional weight of difficult past experiences. When this happens, life can start to feel exhausting or overwhelming.
My role is to offer a calm, compassionate space where we can begin to make sense of what’s happening and gently move forward. From the moment we meet, my aim is for therapy to feel collaborative, supportive & purposeful - somewhere you feel genuinely heard & understood.

Is life getting on top of you and you feel as though you can’t catch a break? Maybe your past is coming up for you in ways that affect you today and continue to make you feel stuck, despite overcoming challenges on the surface. Self limiting beliefs holding you back? Let’s talk- I’m here to help,
I understand how difficult it can be to embark on a journey of self healing and discovery such as counselling- whether you are ready to pick up the phone right this second or you are just browsing for now, the fact that you have made it this far is a huge step. I believe that no two individuals are the same and my practice reflects this.

Being challenged is an inevitable part of life and everyone may experience difficult moments at times in day-to-day life. Our natural reactions to life challenges may involve experiencing unpleasant emotions such as anxiety, low mood, shame, humiliation, and guilt. These reactions, however, may become “sticky” and you may feel unable to get rid of them. This can significantly and negatively affect your personal and professional life. My therapy offers a safe space and an opportunity for you to go through and develop a new understanding about your unprocessed emotions that would help you begin formulating a new way forward.

Hi, I am Susie, a friendly psychotherapist who has experience of working with a diverse range of clients within a confidential environment. For me, the heart of counselling is a good relationship between client and counsellor.

Being emotionally triggered can cause so much suffering for so many of us. But in the toxic society in which we live, we learn to either push down our pain or, worse still, judge ourselves harshly for having strong emotional reactions. Alternatives to responding to ourselves in this way can be found through learning to relate to our suffering with a compassionate understanding of the factors that have shape our emotional experience. Developing self-compassion helps us to develop the courage to process and be with the wounded parts of ourselves with the care and empathy they have always needed.
