Kirsty | Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist

Counselling and Psychotherapy Solihull

I am an Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist that can utilise a number of modalities depending on your needs and goals of counselling. However, my predominant approach to counselling is humanistic or, more specifically, person centred, thus, I will provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you to openly talk about your issues and support you in meeting your goals, offering empathy and compassion throughout your counselling journey. 

I work in accordance with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), am a registered BACP member and offer short term and long term counselling, both in person and online via zoom. The length of time we work together will be explored together in an initial consultation and depend on your individual needs and goals of Counselling.   

I have a BSc (hons) Degree in Psychology, as well as a level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, thus, have appropriate qualifications and level of competence to practice. As a qualified counsellor & psychotherapist I have regular Supervision and attend training courses and workshops as part of my CPD. 

Currently I am working for Therapy Centre Services, an established Counselling Service, as a qualified Counsellor on an EAP programme. I offer short term integrative therapy (between 6 -12 counselling sessions) to adults struggling with a variety of issues, such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, bullying, bereavement, low self-worth / esteem and have also gained experience of working with neurodivergence and differences as well as mild addiction.

I am also currently a volunteer bereavement counsellor at Marie Curie West Midlands Hospice, offering adults who are suffering from grief and loss face to face counselling.

Prior to my role as a counsellor, I gained over nine years’ experience of working in the third sector, planning, and delivering a portfolio of programmes that aim to increase the welfare of young people and adults with complex needs, from different backgrounds and disadvantaged communities, which has shaped my counselling practice. 

The counselling sessions are 50 minutes and usually take place weekly at the same time. The the length of therapy will depend on several factors, including what you hope to achieve from counselling, which we will explore together in the initial consultation. I offer a 15-minute free telephone consultation where we can discuss what you hope to achieve from counselling and you can decide if I am the right counsellor for you. I offer counselling both online via zoom and in person at a centre in Hockley Heath, where there is free parking and disabled access.
