We are a small team that works with a select number of associates to provide counselling and psychotherapy to adults, adolescents and children in person from our rooms near Solihull (Knowle B93) and via Zoom. To find out more about how we work, take a look at our adults and our children and adolescents pages and our policies and documentation page.
We also work in partnership with other organisations to provide counselling to their pupils and service users. Our current partners include King Edward VI, King’s Norton School for Boys in Birmingham.
