"Hi everyone Am struggling with my mental health. Can anybody recommend counselling in birmingham or West Midlands. Am on low income so must be free. Thanks in advance!" If you need someone to talk to my DMs will be open. I’m Not a councillor but I can maybe listen | |||
"Some areas have counselling organisations where you can get free sessions with newly qualified counsellors who just need more experience. I’ve done that in the past and the counsellor was very good. " Not all free counselling is done by newly qualifieds, many counsellors volunteer as they believe in helping and are not motivated by money. Use the internet to search there are many agencies who do not charge. Look especially for Mens groups and clubs and a HUGE well done to you for reaching out | |||

My mental health is really bad, and I got discharged from NHS talking therapies for missing a couple of appointments due to physical health issues. It's hard to find decent resources that are free. I feel like the NHS want to give up on you as quickly as possible due to demand outweighing supply.  | |||

Maybe someone else will know the name of it. If you ever want to chat to a random woman on the Internet, my inbox is open 🫶🏼 | |||

"That’s such a shame and seems really unfair if you couldn’t attend your talking therapy appointments because of other health issues.

"Hi everyone Am struggling with my mental health. Can anybody recommend counselling in birmingham or West Midlands. Am on low income so must be free. Thanks in advance!" There are few men's groups on FB. There's one that operates out of Castle Brom so depending on which side of SC you are, that may not be so far. It's not couselling,it's just guys getting together and talking about their issues but it may help. | |||
