Carrs Lane Counselling Centre Limited

We are a counselling centre in the heart of Birmingham. We are dedicated to providing a low cost first class face to face counselling service for adults from Birmingham and the surrounding area, who can travel to meet a counsellor here. We are also able to provide a telephone counselling service. Through counselling, we can assist you with a range of issues and have been helping in this way for over 50 years.

We provide one-to-one counselling to adults (aged 18 and above), either face-to-face, or by telephone, on a wide range of emotional and behavioural problems, including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, abuse, loss and bereavement, low self-esteem, difficulties in forming or maintaining relationships, anger, guilt, jealousy and procrastination.

Our service can be categorised as a primary care service, providing counselling for problems such as those listed below. Persons struggling with serious or more complex mental health needs (for example, psychosis, anorexia, schizophrenia, chronic alcohol or drug addiction) who require the support of a specialist on that issue, would not be suitable for counselling at this counselling centre.

Carrs Lane Counselling Centre is a registered charity funded by donations. The cost for private counselling sessions in Birmingham can start from £35 upwards. We understand that for many this makes the service inaccessible.

We therefore ask all clients to make a contribution where possible, of £5 per counselling session if unemployed, and £10 per session if employed. If you are able to give more than the minimum contribution, this will greatly help us continue to deliver our much needed service, especially to those who cannot afford the cost of private counselling services elsewhere.

Assessment Consultation Fee: For the first meeting with your allocated counsellor, there is a set consultation fee of £10.00. Thereafter, for each counselling session, we ask you for a donation, as explained above.
