My name is Adam Bellaby — I’m a fully qualified, UKCP & BACP registered, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Integrative Psychotherapist, based in Birmingham and Shrewsbury.
Whether this is your first time looking for support, or you’ve been searching for a while, I hope you find what you need here — about me, my approach, and how counselling or psychotherapy might help.
People come to therapy for many reasons. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, low, or simply not quite yourself. You might have a clear focus, or just a sense that something needs to shift. Whatever brings you, this can be a space to feel supported, reflect, and talk things through — at your own pace and in your own way.
Saphêneia is a greek word without a direct English translation. It describes how clarity and knowledge arise from within, not just through thinking, but through sensing, feeling, and being present to the whole of your experience. This word reflects the heart of how I work: with depth, care, and an attunement to both mind and body.
