About me
Hello
I’m Kolsoma, a registered and UKCP-accredited psychotherapist offering in-person therapy to adults and couples across Walsall, Birmingham and the surrounding areas. I also offer secure online video sessions to clients throughout the UK and internationally.
Life can sometimes feel difficult to navigate. Unexpected experiences, relationship difficulties, trauma, loss, or overwhelming emotions can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected or uncertain about how to move forward. Therapy can provide a safe, confidential and compassionate space to slow things down, make sense of what you are experiencing and begin to explore meaningful ways forward.
My approach is grounded in warmth, compassion and respect. I believe that therapy should be a space where you can speak openly without fear of judgement, while being supported to understand yourself, your relationships and the experiences that have shaped you. Alongside listening and understanding, I offer therapeutic tools and perspectives to help you process difficult experiences, develop greater emotional awareness and build resilience.
I have extensive experience working with vulnerable adults, giving me a deep understanding of the complexities that can arise within mental health, relationships and life transitions. I also have many years of experience supporting ex-service personnel and veterans who may be navigating trauma, adjustment and the challenges of reintegrating into civilian life. This work has strengthened my understanding of how trauma can affect our sense of safety, identity, relationships and everyday lives, and how important it can be to rebuild stability and connection.
My practice is also informed by an awareness of faith, culture and the wider contexts in which we live. For clients who wish to explore their faith within therapy, I can offer a spiritually sensitive and culturally responsive space, recognising the importance that faith, identity, values and community can have in understanding emotional wellbeing. My aim is to work collaboratively and ethically, meeting you where you are and respecting your individual beliefs and experiences.
Therapy is not about having all the answers. It is an opportunity to have dedicated time and space to explore what is happening in your life, understand patterns that may no longer be serving you, and consider what you would like to change. Together, we can work towards greater clarity, stability and a stronger sense of self.
I understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, and choosing a therapist is an important and personal decision. I therefore invite you to take some time to read my profile and learn more about my approach. If you have any questions about me or the therapy I offer, please feel free to get in touch for a free, no-obligation telephone consultation.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
