Mental Health

Seeking support and guidance is a common part of being human and is sometimes needed to overcome difficulties. We aim to provide a confidential, professional and welcoming service that is paired with a non-judgemental, containing environment where trust and compassion can be valued and developed. 


Sutton Coldfield Counselling is aimed at adults, adolescents and children above the age of 6. Whether the purpose of therapy is learning more about yourself and your circumstances through personal discovery, gaining strategies to help with change or a different intention entirely, we can work collaboratively towards experiencing wellbeing. Not all therapy is about specific, labelled difficulties but some of the areas that we do manage in therapy are detailed below:

Children's Therapy

Children can experience similar emotions to adults but may not have the self-awareness, language or insight to know how to express and manage these feelings.  These may therefore show up in different ways, for example, poor behaviour, withdrawal or self-harm.  Children's therapy provides an opportunity to feel safe to explore and communicate some of these emotions, as well as learning helpful coping strategies. 

Often, it is advantegous to do some of the therapy indirectly with children, i.e. through play, drawing and acting, as well as direct conversation.   


Whilst it is important to provide a space for exploration and growth for children, much of this needs to be scaffolded by the significant people within their lives. Working with children can often involve meeting with parents also.

Online Therapy


With much research over the last couple of years during lockdown, online therapy has been shown to be a viable, alternative option to in-person therapy due to its convenience, safety and time-saving aspects.


It is possible to book online sessions or telephone sessions if this is your preferred way of accessing therapy. 


Those who do not live within the geographical area but would like to benefit from the expertise of the Psychologists within Sutton Coldfield Counselling are also very welcome to book online appointments. Please do send an enquiry if you are located outside of the UK.
