Trauma Counselling for Solihull, without the journey
From the heart of Solihull, near the High Street, Brueton Park and the NEC nearby, out to its edges, from the town centre and Touchwood to Shirley, Olton and Knowle, online sessions make it possible to get the right support without rearranging your whole day around a single appointment.
Although my practice sits on the Sussex coast in Hove, distance is no obstacle. People in Solihull work with me online and receive exactly the same specialist, confidential support as anyone who walks through the door.
I also work online with people elsewhere in Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester.
If you would still prefer to meet in person and can travel to the Sussex coast, you are welcome to, but for most clients in Solihull online trauma counselling is the natural and effective choice.
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.
Commuter life has a particular cost: the early train, the late return, and a working day that quietly swallows the daylight hours. An online session you can take from home, with no journey at either end, removes the very obstacle that stops many people starting.

Why online works in Solihull
Why people in Solihull choose online counselling
Built around your commute
If your week in Solihull runs on the early train and the late return, online sessions slot into the day without adding another journey to it.
Begin sooner
Rather than waiting for a local appointment to come free, an online slot often means you can start the work much sooner.
Human, even on a screen
The technology fades within minutes. What remains is a real, attentive conversation, the same one we'd have sitting in the room together.
Gentle when leaving home is hard
If anxiety, low mood or avoidance make leaving the house feel like too much right now, starting online from Solihull can be the gentlest possible way in.
How online sessions work
Here's what actually happens once we begin. I am integratively trained and draw on approaches designed specifically for trauma, including the Human Givens Rewind Technique, a calm, non-intrusive method that returns a memory to ordinary recall. You do not have to relive the detail or even speak it aloud for this to work.
All it takes at your end is a private spot where you can talk freely, a device with a camera, and a steady signal. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, then I send a link you join at our agreed time each week.

Start the conversationFinding support in Solihull
My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. In Solihull, you can refer yourself directly to Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull Talking Therapies for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.
Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.
If you need urgent help now
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else 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.
Solihull questions
Online Trauma Counselling in Solihull: common questions
Do you offer online trauma counselling for people in Solihull?
Yes. I work with clients in Solihull and right across the UK by secure video. You don't need to live near Brighton or Hove; online trauma counselling brings the same care to wherever you are.
What do I need to start online sessions in Solihull?
Very little: a private space where you won't be interrupted, a laptop, tablet or phone, and a reasonable internet connection. After a free fifteen-minute call, I send a secure link you click at our agreed time.
Is online trauma counselling as effective as meeting in person?
For most people, yes. Online therapy can be just as effective as meeting face to face, and many find it easier to open up from home. Everything is held with the same strict confidentiality as in-person work.
Can I use the NHS in Solihull as well as seeing you?
Yes, and many people do both. You can access support from Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull Talking Therapies alongside our work; private counselling simply means you can usually start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout. I'm happy to work alongside any NHS support you're receiving.
