Life in Birmingham
Why people in Birmingham reach out
Birmingham is the UK's second city and one of its youngest and most diverse, and life here moves fast across very different communities. The pressures of a big city, money worries, crowded housing and the isolation that can come even in a crowd, all take a toll, and reaching out is not always easy.
With the academic year setting a relentless pace, online sessions flex around terms, deadlines and shift work rather than fighting them.
Birmingham is home to the University of Birmingham and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, one of the largest single-site hospitals in the UK, and HSBC UK has its national headquarters in the city centre.
The relationship counselling itself
Relationship counselling here, for couples or individuals, slows down the pattern you are caught in and builds healthier ways of hearing and being heard.
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 relationship 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.

Finding support in Birmingham
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Birmingham, you can refer yourself directly to Birmingham Healthy Minds for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed.
Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout; I am glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.

If you need urgent help now
This is not a crisis service. If anyone is in immediate danger call 999. For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
Birmingham questions
Online Relationship Counselling in Birmingham: common questions
Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Birmingham?
Yes. I work with people right across Birmingham, from the city centre and the Jewellery Quarter 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 I come on my own, without my partner?
Yes. A great deal can change when one person shifts the pattern; you do not need to attend as a couple to do useful work.
Can we join the session from different locations?
Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.
Will you take sides?
No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
