BIRMINGHAM, WEST MIDLANDS – Phinity Therapy, a BACP-accredited practice providing family therapy Birmingham and specialist talking therapies across the West Midlands, is expanding access to expert family therapy, family counselling, systemic family therapy and CBT family therapy for families and individuals across North Birmingham. New clients in Erdington (B23/B24), Perry Barr (B42) and Great Barr (B42/B43) are now being welcomed, with fully accredited family therapists and CBT therapists offering in-person appointments at the practice’s 95 Hagley Road clinic in Edgbaston and online sessions for clients further afield.

Family therapy is a form of psychological counselling in which a trained family therapist facilitates the exploration and expression of feelings and concerns that exist between family members, in a safe and non-judgemental space. Unlike individual therapy, family counselling works with the whole family system — helping members communicate more effectively, build and maintain healthier boundaries, improve relationship dynamics, and develop practical skills to navigate difficulties together. At Phinity Therapy, family therapy Birmingham draws on multiple evidence-based approaches including systemic family therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, supportive family therapy and psychoeducation — tailored to the unique needs of each family.
“Despite strong evidence for its effectiveness, family therapy and systemic practice receive only 13% of NHS mental health expenditure. Meanwhile, 270,300 children waited for mental health support in 2024, and a further 372,800 had their referrals closed before seeing anyone at all. Families across Erdington, Perry Barr and Great Barr deserve better than that. At Phinity Therapy, our accredited family therapists in Birmingham are ready to help now. Speak to a therapist today, your family does not have to face this alone,” said a spokesperson for Phinity Therapy, 95 Hagley Road, Birmingham B16 8LA.
Family therapy and systemic practice receive only 13% of NHS mental health expenditure despite strong evidence for effectiveness and cost efficiency. In 2024, 270,300 children referred to mental health services were still waiting for support, while a further 372,800 had their referrals closed before accessing any help at all. A BACP YouGov survey conducted in early 2026 found that 67% of UK adults had experienced a mental health issue in the last five years and 37% had accessed therapy in the past year. With 44% of people under 21 in the UK not having lived with both parents during childhood, the need for expert, accessible family therapy Birmingham has never been clearer. Phinity Therapy offers appointments typically within days.
