Reality Therapy / Choice Theory Therapists in West Bromwich, England

My name is Shareen Birges & I am a social worker who specialises in online counselling. I have been practicing for over 15 years & as a result, have a broad range of experience. I have worked with adolescents & their families, adults & couples. I specialise in the care of people with cancer and chronic illness, mental health, dual diagnosis/comorbidity, trauma background (including sexual abuse/assault & childhood abuse and trauma) & people with offending behaviour & people living with BPD. Due to my extensive experience working with adolescents and young people, I have developed an ability to work closely with families & other professionals, whilst keeping the boundary of privacy & confidentiality. I believe I am approachable & create a good balance between challenging clients & allowing their therapy to flow at a pace that feel comfortable to them.

I am an optimistic and accepting therapist, enthusiastic about working with clients in collaborative ways, seeking to uncover and understand, and finding new ways of changing your life and living with fulfilling and rewarding relationships, families and friends. Over the years I have come to appreciate the therapeutic relationship as deeply healing, a safe space for clients to reflect and explore.

West Bromwich is a Black Country town in the West Midlands with significant post-industrial deprivation and a diverse population including large South Asian and Caribbean communities, and its mental health landscape closely resembles that of neighbouring Dudley and Walsall—shaped by economic hardship, limited local private therapy provision, and demand for culturally competent care. NHS mental health services are delivered through Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and residents seeking specialist or private therapy typically travel to nearby Birmingham for access to a broader range of practitioners. The town has historically been overlooked in regional mental health planning, and residents in some neighbourhoods face significant barriers to accessing consistent, quality mental health care. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, economic stress, and the identity and belonging challenges faced by communities navigating post-industrial decline alongside cultural transition.
