St Martin's Counselling — Counsellor in Birmingham, England

My therapist was Monroope and she was very supportive and understanding. I told her things I’ve never spoken about before and she reassured me in the best possible way. I have came a long way since I started and although I’m not completely there yet, this therapy has made a massive difference. Thank you x

I started therapy journey with St Martins last year September I was suffering from PTSD from trauma I had experienced my therapist Rachel through CBT trauma focused helped me unpack things and come too terms with what I had experienced I learnt what l triggers me and I wasn't too blame and why felt the way I did it wasn't easy facing my demons but it was worth it I would highly recommend St Martin's if you wanting to start your journey of healing and self discovery truly grateful ❤️🙏🏽

My CBT sessions provided by Monroope have been extremely beneficial. My therapist consistently demonstrated excellent listening skills, empathy, and the ability to offer clear, practical guidance. Throughout the sessions, I developed effective techniques to support and improve my mental wellbeing. I am highly satisfied with the quality of care I received and would confidently recommend this service to others. Thank you once again.

Speaking with Sharon has been incredibly beneficial in helping me understand more about myself and the reasons behind my anxiety. I’ve taken many positive steps during this time and feel so much better for the experience. I’m now more settled at home, in my relationship, and at work, and I’m making positive plans for the future. Having someone to talk to has made a real difference.

I would like to begin by saying how much I have valued the therapy I have received through St Martin’s. The therapists I have worked with have been consistently supportive and effective, and I am genuinely grateful for the help I have had. However, I do feel it is important to raise some concerns about the administrative side of the service. Communication from the admin team has often felt limited and at times unhelpful. For example, when payments have been an issue, the approach has felt more like a threat than a conversation about possible solutions or support. This has been difficult to navigate alongside the therapeutic process. In addition, there was a very serious matter where my personal information was shared in error, along with details of others using the service, through an email sent by your team. While mistakes can happen, there was no offer of redress or compensation, which has left me feeling that the impact of this breach was not taken seriously. I want to be clear that I respect and appreciate the therapeutic work itself, but I feel the administrative side of the service needs to be improved to match the quality of the therapy provided. I would appreciate a response on how these issues are being addressed and, in particular, what steps will be taken to ensure that client information is kept secure in future. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for the work you

The St Martins Counselling is a definite life changing experience, my counsellor "G" made me feel at ease and indeed i was able to relate / identify with from my first session, Counsellor "G" also provided me with user friendly written support each week, as well as my 1 hour therapy sessions which without doubt have given me a new and positive directive in life. Many thanks and a big hug to all those behind the scene who make the Therapy Service possible ,

I have nothing but positive things to share about my experience with St Martin's Counselling. It has been incredibly beneficial. I felt truly heard and supported, learning valuable strategies to manage my condition and build resilience. My counselor, G, tailored the sessions perfectly to my needs. She provided all the helpful information I needed, and her use of Socratic questioning was particularly impactful. This approach helped me reach my own conclusions and find solutions to my challenges. I left each session with tools to strengthen my resilience. My only regret is that it's only six sessions. I wholeheartedly recommend this service to anyone seeking genuine support and a listening ear.

This experience of going to therapy has been a positive one. A life changing experience mainly to do with Rachel my therapist. She provided me with a space where I could express and share my concerns and strangest thoughts. At least they were strange to me. Rachel did an amazing job reassuring me that what I was going through was normal and ok. On top of that she then gave me the perfect tools, worksheets, modules to get on the right path she gave me things I didn't even know I needed. I'd tell anybody to go do therapy after my experience with Rachel, definitely helped change my outlook on life, relationships and myself for the better. Thank you
