counselling
A variety of counselling styles are used according
to the issues being dealt with and where
possible we can match any particular requests
you may have about your counsellor eg preferring
to speak to a female.
Counselling is available to anyone (age 17-65)
who lives in the borough of Solihull.
Appointments take place at the Mind office
between 9-30am and 5-00pm Monday to Friday,
with some other sessions available in the
evenings for those unable to attend daytime
appointments.
If there is a reason why you cannot come to the
office, where possible we will try to make
alternative arrangements.
Everyone experiences times when they feel
anxious, sad, or depressed. If your
problems are getting on top of you, it can
help to talk to someone who has the time
to listen. Counselling can help you to
explore your feelings and look at the
reasons why you are feeling this way and
aims to help you find your own solutions,
without making moral judgements or
pushing you in a particular direction.
Available Mon to Fri, 9-30am - 5pm,
plus Tuesday evenings 5pm - 8pm
Located at 14-16 Faulkner Road, B92 8SY
