Counselling with Keturah

When life doesn't look quite how you imagined it would.

Sometimes something happens that changes everything. Sometimes you change, your relationships feel different or you might feel stuck in the daily routine of life.

Perhaps you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood or feeling overwhelmed, finding a relationship difficult, or trying to adjust to a change in your life that you didn't expect or aren't sure how to navigate.

Maybe it’s none of these things, and you just have a feeling that you need to talk. You don't need to have one clear reason for coming to counselling. Sometimes you simply know that you're not feeling like yourself anymore, and you just want somewhere to talk where there’s no pressure, no judgement and no expectations of you.

Counselling can give you somewhere to slow things down, make sense of what you're experiencing and begin to work out what you need next.

  • I work with adults who come to counselling with a wide range of experiences, there is no right or wrong. I also offer counselling to trainee/student counsellors.

    Having worked in mental health services for around 15 years, I understand that often there is no “one thing” that brings you to counselling.

    I also have specialist training and experience in counselling with issues connected to fertility, reproductive journeys, pregnancy and loss.

    This includes:

    • pregnancy after loss

    • miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage

    • baby loss at any stage

    • TFMR (termination for medical reasons)

    • fertility investigations and treatment

    • decisions about continuing or ending treatment

    • secondary infertility

    • the emotional impact of trying to conceive

    • complex or ambivalent feelings about parenthood

    • changes in identity, relationships and sense of self

    • mental health concerns

    You do not need to arrive with a clear focus. Counselling offers space to think about whatever feels most present. These often carry layers of grief, isolation, uncertainty, decision-making and relational complexity.

    Whatever stage you are at, please get in contact for an initial conversation to see if we could work well together.

  • I offer sessions online, by phone or in person in South Birmingham.

    I work in an integrative way, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you. At the centre of this is creating a space where you feel able to think openly, at your own pace, without pressure to move in a particular direction.

    I aim to offer a steady, considered space for exploration without pressure to simplify or resolve too quickly. Counselling is not always about goals and answers, it can be whatever you need the space to be, sometimes that’s permission to pause and be, sometimes it’s working through hard stuff.

    I am a member of the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework for Counselling Professionals.

  • I like to offer flexibility to work in a way that suits you most. Some people prefer a regular booked session, others might prefer more space and time between sessions. It’s your counselling and it needs to work for you, we will agree the duration and frequency of sessions when we start work together.

  • Complete an enquiry form including a brief overview of what you are looking for and your availability and I will contact you to arrange the next steps!
