Life in Solihull
Why people in Solihull reach out
Solihull is a prosperous town on Birmingham's edge, close to the airport and the NEC, and its comfortable reputation can make struggle feel out of place. Demanding careers, long commutes and the pressure to maintain a certain standard can quietly erode wellbeing behind well-kept front doors.
Round-the-clock rotas rarely fit a daytime clinic, so online sessions work around whatever your week actually looks like.
Solihull is home to Jaguar Land Rover's main UK car plant and sits next to Birmingham Airport and the NEC, with Solihull Hospital serving the borough.

These figures are local context from official sources — not a description of you — but they show the scale of what people in and around Solihull are living with, and why local support matters.
21.6% of adults reported a high anxiety score in 2022/23, below the England average of 23.8%. Source: OHID Fingertips – Self-reported wellbeing: high anxiety score (2022/23).

The anxiety counselling itself
Anxiety counselling here is practical and solution-focused: we work on the worry, panic, social anxiety and over-thinking that are actually affecting your day, and on simple ways to settle a nervous system stuck on high alert.
The approach is the same wherever you live, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full — the methods, what each session covers and fees — on the main anxiety counselling page and on how I work.
How online sessions work
Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, you join each session from any private space using a phone, tablet or laptop — no software to install, no waiting room and no journey at either end.

Solihull questions
Online Anxiety Counselling in Solihull: common questions
Can I get online anxiety counselling if I live in Solihull?
Yes. I work with people right across Solihull, from the town centre and Touchwood outwards, and anywhere else in Midlands, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.
Can online counselling really help with panic attacks?
Yes. We work on what happens in your body when anxiety spikes and rehearse practical ways to settle it, which translates well to video sessions you do from a place you already feel safe.
What if my anxiety makes video calls themselves difficult?
That is common and completely workable. We can start with the camera off, keep early sessions short and build up at your pace; many anxious clients find home the easiest place to begin.
How long does anxiety counselling usually take?
It varies, but solution-focused work often makes a difference within a handful of sessions. We review together rather than committing you to an open-ended course.
