Services
Addiction Counselling
Our specialist addiction counsellors address repetitive behaviours impacting mental and physical health. We support clients dealing with substance abuse, gambling, and behavioural addictions through tailored one-to-one sessions. Our approach focuses on identifying root causes while developing practical coping strategies for sustainable recovery.
Anger Management
Led by certified specialist Martin Hogg, our anger management programmes address disproportionate emotional responses. Through workshops and individual therapy, we explore underlying causes and teach practical techniques to manage anger constructively in personal and professional contexts.
Grief Counselling
We provide compassionate support for navigating loss and bereavement. Our counsellors help clients process complex emotions like guilt, shock, and confusion while developing coping mechanisms. Sessions address both recent losses and long-term grief affecting daily functioning.
Online Counselling
Secure online sessions offer flexible access to qualified therapists. This service accommodates clients with mobility challenges, busy schedules, or those living outside Birmingham. We maintain the same professional standards and confidentiality as in-person sessions.
BSL Therapy
Specialist therapy available in British Sign Language with qualified practitioners Matthew Shrine and Jay Thomas-Morton. Sessions cater to Deaf and hearing BSL users, with free options available for eligible low-income clients.
