Personal / Professional Counselling at our centres in Birmingham and Devon or free remote counselling via Zoom or a similar platform
Sometimes, life presents challenges that feel overwhelming, leaving us confused, frightened, angry, or hurt. In these moments, it can be hard to know where to turn for help or who to trust. Many people experience this feeling at some point in their lives. You may not feel comfortable speaking to friends or family, either because you’re unsure they will understand, or because you don’t want to burden them with your problems. It could also be a sensitive issue that you're embarrassed to discuss.
At Key Counselling Training, our experienced counsellors provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to talk through your feelings. We understand the importance of confidentiality and respect your boundaries. Our counsellors will never shame you, judge you, or pressure you into discussing anything you're not ready to talk about.
We are here to support you
If you’re feeling isolated by a problem, it may seem like you’re the only one experiencing this struggle. What you truly need is a safe, confidential space where you can explore the issue, express your feelings without judgment, and receive full support. In such an environment, you can begin to consider how best to tackle the challenges in your life and find the solutions that feel right for you—without feeling coerced or advised.
At Key Counselling Training, we help you navigate these difficult times. Our trainee counsellors, in partnership with Health & Harmony, provide supportive counselling sessions designed to help you process and address what’s troubling you.
You must be 18 or older to refer yourself for counselling. However, parents or carers with legal parental rights can refer a child aged 13 or older.
Contact us today, and within 24 hours, you could be speaking to a counsellor and sharing your burden in a compassionate and confidential setting.
​
Counsellor referrals
You will email us in the first instance with your telephone number and name only. Please do not explain any issues or difficulties you are experiencing.
If there is a counsellor available you will be referred and they will contact you to advise they can offer an appointment and will negotiate a day and a time for that to happen. If you do not get a response within 3 days of emailing us, you can re-refer yourself again and continue referring yourself weekly until you have an appointment offered to you. We do not operate a waiting list.
We provide counselling sessions at our Birmingham and Devon centres
We can refer you to one of our trainee counsellors.
You can have as many free sessions of Skype/Zoom counselling as you feel you need, however you can only access 12 sessions with the same trainee.
We will initially offer up to 12 free counselling sessions; you can then re-refer yourself for further sessions with a different trainee counsellor. Our trainee counsellors are in their final semester of training and completing their required placement hours to qualify so can only provide 12 sessions per client.
Should you require qualified counsellors, we can provide you with a list of our approved qualified counsellors and psychotherapists whose fees start at £20 per hour. You will need to email us and provide your name and a telephone number so the trainee counsellor can contact you to arrange your initial assessment and contracting session. From there, you will discuss a mutually beneficial and convenient time for further sessions.
This service is provided nationally and internationally within the legalities and ethics of the UK.
We are not providing face-to-face sessions at this time.
The mission statement of Health & Harmony: a low-cost counselling agency
We are committed to providing counselling for everyone, regardless of race, caste, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious beliefs, disability, age, or any other aspect of diversity. We believe that counselling should be accessible to all, and we strive to ensure that no one is excluded based on their background or circumstances.
We understand that the financial barrier to counselling can be significant, which is why we offer low-cost or free counselling options. This approach ensures that our services are inclusive and available to everyone, regardless of their income or status.
To maintain fairness and equality, we charge £10 for face-to-face sessions in Birmingham, allowing us to sustain and balance the service for all clients. Remote counselling is available for free, ensuring that our services remain accessible to those who cannot attend in person.
Our trainee counsellors bring up-to-date knowledge and techniques, offering valuable support in a non-judgmental, empathetic environment. They have been assessed as competent by their training provider, ensuring that clients receive high-quality support.
Our goal is to provide a safe, confidential space where clients can explore their difficulties openly, build a trusting and honest therapeutic relationship, and experience empathy, kindness, and transparency.

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Supervised counselling sessions
You can be sure of a non-judgemental approach and also a confidential supportive session with a trainee counsellor who is in the process of completing 100 hours of supervised counselling sessions. There will not be anyone else at the sessions except you and the trainee counsellor. You will be expected to share, and explore, any difficulties you have. However, what you share and how much you wish to discuss is your decision. You will not be expected to talk about anything you do not wish to discuss.
All counselling sessions are £10 per session if you come to the centres, however, they are free if you attend remotely
We do not ask you about your financial situation, and we do not limit how many overall sessions you have
What you can expect with our free personal counselling
Our trainee counsellors have been trained to apply theory, so do not give advice. They have learned techniques to show you so you can become autonomous and learn how to apply these techniques to yourself. You will learn about yourself, what your blocks are, and how to make the changes in order to gain the life you want. ​
Our trainee counsellors work with issues that include:
Bereavement
Phobias
Stress
Divorce and separation
Anxiety and depression
Loneliness/isolation
Relationship issues
Low self-esteem
Eating and sleeping difficulties
We can also help with many more different problems or difficulties that you may be experiencing.
Take the first step now
Perhaps you have been carrying this burden or pain for a long time? Whatever the problem or difficulty, perhaps now is the right time for you to find your answers — to free yourself from the worry, the hurt or the confusion. If the trainee counsellor cannot work with the issue that you bring, they will be able to refer you.
Contact us and let us help you get the lifestyle you want and deserve to have. This is a national service throughout the UK. As long as you can access the internet, we can provide remote counselling sessions with you. Most counsellors are trainees, in their final semester of training and looking to obtain their required 100 hours of placement. They have regular supervision.
