Cornerstone Therapy offers integrative counselling in Birmingham and online, tailored to your individual needs. You can meet in person, by video or by phone, in English, Urdu, Punjabi or Mirpuri. Below you’ll find the support we offer, our fees and how to book.
One-to-one counselling for adults who want space to talk through what’s on their mind, whether that’s anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties or feeling stuck. Sessions last 50 minutes and take place in person in Birmingham, online or by phone. We work integratively, drawing on person-centred, Gestalt and psychodynamic ideas, always at a pace that feels right for you.
Secure video sessions on Microsoft Teams, Zoom or WhatsApp, or sessions by phone, so you can get support from home or wherever you feel comfortable. Online counselling offers the same depth and care as meeting in person, and suits busy schedules, shift work, caring responsibilities, limited mobility, or anyone who simply prefers their own space.
Gentle, age-appropriate counselling for young people aged 13 to 17, and young adults up to 24, who are dealing with school or university pressure, friendships, identity, family changes or low confidence. We adapt our approach to meet each young person where they are, so they feel heard and respected. We’ll talk openly about how parents or carers are involved, while respecting the young person’s confidentiality.
Counselling for adults facing stress, anxiety, low mood, burnout, relationship difficulties, life transitions or simply feeling stuck. Together we explore what’s going on beneath the surface, how past experiences may be shaping the present, and what you’d like to change, in a calm and confidential space.
A reflective space for people aged 65 and over who are exploring retirement, bereavement, changing health, shifting roles in the family, or long-held patterns they'd like to make sense of. Sessions can take place in person, including home visits, by phone or online, whichever is easiest for you.
Counselling that respects your culture, faith and family background, in English, Urdu, Punjabi or Mirpuri, or a mix of them. You won't need to explain your culture from scratch or leave your values at the door, and everything you share stays confidential, separate from your family and community.
Affirming counselling for autistic people, people with ADHD and other neurodivergent clients, with or without a diagnosis. We work with you to understand your experience on your own terms, and adapt how sessions run (pace, structure, breaks and communication style) rather than treating neurodivergence as something to be fixed.
Cornerstone Therapy works with employers, groups and Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), offering confidential counselling for staff in person, online or by phone. Get in touch to talk about what your organisation needs.

What it won’t be is someone telling you what to do! The biggest concern we hear is people thinking therapy may involve an ‘expert’ telling them what is wrong with them or instructing them what they should do. In fact, the type of therapy we offer is quite the opposite. It is founded on the principle that YOU are the expert of you, and only you have the answers to the challenges you face. What we will do, however, is provide the conditions in which you may feel able to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own speed. Rather than giving you a set of ‘coping mechanisms’ for dealing with challenges you face, our goal will be to deal with the underlying cause of these feelings and, in doing so, allow you freedom from them.
Yes. What you share in therapy stays between you and your therapist, in line with the BACP Ethical Framework. There are a few rare exceptions: if there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, if certain serious crimes are disclosed, or if the law requires it (for example a court order or a safeguarding concern about a child). If this ever happened, we would always try to talk it through with you first and agree the next steps together. Like all BACP members, your therapist also has regular clinical supervision, where your identity is kept anonymous.
Yes. Alongside English, you can have counselling in Urdu, Punjabi or Mirpuri, or move between languages in the same session, whatever feels most natural to you.
No. You can contact us directly to arrange a free 15-minute introductory call.
Yes! Please ask about this when you enquire. We believe in charging fair prices that people can afford, whatever their circumstances. Whether you are experiencing financial difficulty, are a student or even a trainee counsellor, we will do our best to make sure cost is not a barrier to therapy.
You can get in touch by email, phone or through the contact page. We realise the hardest part may be making this first contact, and we’re used to speaking with people who feel unsure or nervous. After a free 15-minute chat, if you decide to go ahead, your first session will last 50 minutes and will help us both see whether working together would be beneficial for you. After that, clients normally meet weekly, although this can be arranged to meet your needs.
Counselling is not an emergency service. If you are in crisis or worried about your safety, call 999, contact NHS 111, or call Samaritans free on 116 123, any time, day or night.
We offer a free 15‑minute introductory call, a relaxed, no‑pressure conversation to see if therapy with us feels right for you.
