Counselling in Birmingham

I am an MBACP registered counsellor & coach specialising in men's mental health relating to loss & bereavement, anxiety and overwhelm, and relationship issues.

I’m a psychotherapist, lecturer & supervisor specialising in trauma and longer term therapy. I was the trauma lead for the counselling service of TfL for 6 years & currently teach psychotherapy at Regent’s University London. I integrate different approaches to therapy including EMDR, psychoanalytic and humanistic ways of working. A primary focus of the work tends to be on relationships, recognising patterns and exploring different ways to relate to yourself and others.

Hi, my name is Simon and I work as a Psychotherapist in Private Practice in London. Clients who come to me for help usually have high levels of anxiety or depression and find themselves in repeating patterns within their relationships or at work that make them unhappy. I would offer you a safe, containing space where you could talk about and explore anything that’s difficult or overwhelming. We all have emotional needs and problems often arise when those needs are unmet. I would carefully explore which of your emotional needs were unmet during your childhood and possibly in your present life.

Perhaps you're feeling down; depressed, anxious, confused, overwhelmed, stuck or lonely. Maybe you're unsure about a relationship, challenged by life transitions or a relationship breakdown.You might be struggling with childhood trauma, parenting,adoption, infertility, loss and identity issues. Or just feeling that you aren't living the life you deserve. Life gets tough sometimes, yet out of our vulnerabilities lie our strength. Therapy is a process of self-discovery & growth that helps you to understand aspects of your life that may be holding you back, heal and ignite passion and fulfilment. I have faith and welcome you as you are

Anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties are all symptoms of our inner struggles and efforts to deal with discord, pain and distress.  We suffer. We feel overwhelmed, lost, hurt and confused.   Work, friend and family relationships are affected and our usual sources of support often become strained or break down.  We may turn to alcohol, drugs or self harm for comfort.  These are all very human reactions to painful life circumstances. Your distressing symptoms are life’s way getting your attention and guiding you towards a healthier and more fulfilling life experience.

I am a conscientious and caring counsellor/psychotherapist fully qualified insured experienced and NCS registered offering advice, support, rehabilitation and guidance to clients who have experienced hardship. Comfortable working and communicating with people from all backgrounds and help clients journey from diagnosis to post treatment. Theoretical approaches are an understandably integral part of the therapeutic process.

In my experience every client comes to therapy with a unique set of life circumstances. Sometimes these contribute to personal and emotional problems which can feel overwhelming or even insurmountable. Often, it is at this point that a person reaches out for professional help. They may identify that low mood, negative thinking, stress or relationship problems are impediments to living a good life and they will want help to restore healthy self-esteem, confidence, balance and self-worth. Often clients are looking for a supportive, non-judgmental, compassionate and caring professional to guide them on their journey to wellbeing.

My ideals clients are mainly Adults, Couples, EAP, Families, Groups, Older adults, Organisations, Trainees, athletes and Young people.

I am committed to supporting people in healing from relational trauma, developmental trauma, childhood trauma and interpersonal trauma of all kinds. Human beings are amazing, remarkable and resilient in our ability to cope with adversity. We often compartmentalise or dissociate what happens to us so we can carry on living. We also turn to all manner of addictions and behaviours that on the surface may seem disordered and destructive yet at the same time they make perfect sense. They protect us, help us to stay in control, help numb the pain, help us to survive, and help communicate our stories.

A Principal Clinical Psychologist with 16 years of experience of working in and leading NHS Psychology Services, and an expert in CBT, Psychodynamic psychotherapy, Emotion-focused therapy, EMDR, Acceptance-commitment Therapy and Mindfulness approaches. I offer incisive, experiential, and highly effective treatments designed to help you overcome your distress and effect lasting changes. Seeking help is a major life step. I commit to providing a safe, professional and personalized treatment experience to sensitively support and empower you, deepen your self-understanding and create positive changes for a life that you can truly value.

Hello and welcome. I’m here to help you find the inner strengths you need to unblock what’s troubling you and move on with your life. My clients tell me I’m warm, kind and insightful – which is good, because my main aim is to offer a safe, welcoming place where you feel willing and able to consider making changes. Most of us aren’t used to reaching out for professional support. We’re brought up to think asking for help can be a sign of weakness. But whatever you’re facing, working together with a professional therapist can let you see a way forward.

One of the most difficult parts of the therapeutic process is taking that first step – deciding to talk to someone. The counselling that I offer provides a safe, confidential space for clients to explore difficult issues, obstacles, choices, and aspirations. I work in a psychosynthetic context that within each individual there exists both a personality (patterns of behaviour) as well as a spiritual aspect (our innate potential) encompassing work at the levels of mind and thinking, body and feeling, spirit and purpose. In our personal and professional lives each of us is a Self that is both divine and human.

I deeply believe that in all of us there is the capacity to grow, to heal and to become more fully who we want to be. Our sessions would provide a safe space to help you feel less alone in exploring whatever you are currently facing, whether life-altering challenges, day-to-day difficulties, or just feeling that your life isn’t quite how you’d like it to be. In our work together, we would develop a shared, holistic understanding of your situation, identifying patterns and making connections between past experiences and the present, and going on to think about the best way forward.
