Online therapy in Birmingham

A therapist in Birmingham, chosen by you

Read the profiles, pick a time, and meet online — no referral, no waiting list.

The UK's second city, and yet finding a therapist here can mean the same long waits as anywhere else.

Birmingham city centre — online therapy available across the city

Why it matters here

A big city with small availability

Birmingham is large, diverse, and underserved when it comes to talking therapy — a lot of people, not enough appointments. Online, you're not choosing from the handful of practices near you but from every therapist working in your language. You pick a time that fits, and meet from home.

About Wefeel

What Wefeel is — and what it isn't

Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.

We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.

Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.

What we work with

What brings people here

  • Anxiety and constant low-level dread

    The worry that doesn't attach itself to anything in particular, and doesn't switch off when the day ends.

  • Depression and flatness

    Including the kind that is hard to justify, because on paper nothing is wrong.

  • Burnout and exhaustion

    When the job stopped being difficult and started being impossible, and you kept going anyway.

  • Grief

    After a death — but also after a marriage, a career, a friendship, or a version of yourself.

  • Relationships and family

    Including the arguments that are never really about what they appear to be about.

  • Loneliness

    You can be lonely in the town you grew up in, surrounded by people who have known you for thirty years.

This is not a complete list. If what you're carrying isn't on it, that changes nothing — therapy starts with you, not with a label.

How it works

Three steps, no paperwork

You read the profiles and choose the therapist yourself — nobody is assigned to you, and you're allowed to be particular, because this is a relationship rather than a service. You then pick a time from the hours they have open, shown in your own time zone, evenings and early mornings included. Finally you meet by video call, from wherever you are. No GP referral, no waiting list.

The hardest session is the one you haven't booked

Nearly everyone finds the first conversation easier than the week of dread before it.
