Andrea Elton

I'm a fully qualified therapist providing a confidential, supportive and professional counselling service. I offer a warm, empathic and non-judgemental environment where you can feel seen, heard and valued. 

Life can be hard and at times it may feel very overwhelming, sometimes we find ourselves feeling lost or stuck in an uncomfortable place. Difficult emotions, thoughts, fears and life events can become too much to bear. Counselling can help you to make sense of past or present issues that may be affecting your daily life and overcome the obstacles you are facing. 

I provide a calm, respectful and fully accepting space, where you will be able to explore your feelings and experiences, at your own pace, without fear of judgement. With the aim of finding new ways to live your life, develop better ways of coping, create positive change and enhance personal-growth and well-being.

I have a wealth of experience in helping clients with a wide variety of difficulties and concerns including (but not limited to) anxiety and panic, depression, stress, shame, bereavement, anger, low self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, abuse, emotional difficulties, family issues and relationship problems. 

Working with me: my approach

As an integrative counsellor, I am able to draw on a variety of theories and techniques such as person-centred, psychodynamic or CBT, to tailor an approach that will most effectively help you. I take into account your individual needs, helping you to explore and cope with your problems in a safe, informal and understanding environment. We will work together to achieve the best outcome, empowering you to live life to your full potential.

I am fully insured and work by the ethical guidelines as outlined by the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) of which I am a member.

I offer both short and long-term therapy, depending on your needs. 

Getting Started:

Please give me a call, text, email or use the ‘book intro call’ tab at the top of my page, to set up a free of charge, no obligation informal telephone call. This is also an opportunity to ask any questions you have about the counselling process, I will happily answer your queries. I aim to respond to any emails or messages within 24 hours.

I provide Face to Face sessions, based in a comfortable and private counselling room in Sutton Coldfield, located close to Good Hope hospital. Parking available.

I also provide Online sessions over Zoom and Telephone.

I offer Walk and Talk therapy in Sutton Park: Counselling in the open-air can be a helpful method of working, some clients are more relaxed walking and talking and feel more comfortable in discussing their problems. Working therapeutically outdoors can help with feelings of anxiety, stress, anger or feeling stuck. The physical space and headspace that being outside provides releases endorphins and is generally mood-enhancing.
