Sometimes the most important change begins before a counselling session, when someone feels able to say “I think I need some support.”

Change works to make that first step feel clearer, safer and more manageable. Through compassionate counselling, practical information and community connections, we help reduce the uncertainty that can stop people from reaching out.

This work is made possible by the commitment of counsellors, volunteers, trustees, partners and supporters who believe that access to psychological support matters.

If you share that belief, follow our work and help more people in Birmingham discover that asking for help is a strength.

Reaching out for aid is as an act of bravery that reflects a person’s existing strengths, agency, and readiness for change. Rather than defining help-seeking as dependency or weakness, SFBT invites exploration of what enabled the person to take that step and how this existing capacity can be extended toward their preferred future.

You don't need to be in crisis to seek counselling, and you do not need to arrive with the perfect words. At Change, you can begin with what feels most important, or simply with “I’m not sure where to start”.

Sonia has been a counsellor for some time now, and she's seen what works and for who. Solution Focused Therapy is particularly great for younger people, especially the problem free talk and use of scaling questions.

Callum's experience with Solution Focused Therapy prompted more person centered language approach, rather than a medical assessment of the client, resulting in more hopeful outlooks. This positivity was felt beyond the therapeutic spaces, and effected Callum's interactions in other areas of his work, including that of a nurse.
