Mr Duncan Quinney

Counselor

“As an experienced and accredited counsellor, I provide Counselling, Psychotherapy and CBT in Great Barr, Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield”

About Me

I offer a supportive space to explore personal challenges and find clarity. Drawing on my experience, I tailor our work to your unique needs. I combine Counseling, Psychotherapy, and CBT. We can use practical CBT tools for immediate concerns, whilst psychotherapy helps understand deeper patterns. This blend supports individuals seeking a balanced way to navigate life’s complexities. My aim is for our sessions to be a grounded place where you feel truly heard.

Approach

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all answers, I work collaboratively with you to set a pace that feels manageable and purposeful. In my rooms in Great Barr and online across Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield, sessions are a blend of talking, focused exercises and agreed practical steps to use between meetings. We gently explore patterns, address anxiety, stress or past hurts, and apply targeted methods to help you process experience safely. This way of working suits adults and couples seeking practical change alongside deeper understanding.
