BIRMINGHAM, WEST MIDLANDS - Phinity Therapy, a BACP-accredited practice providing therapy Birmingham and specialist psychological support across the West Midlands, is expanding access to psychologist, therapist and child psychologist services for individuals, children and families across North Birmingham.

Therapy is a broad term covering a wide range of psychological and talking treatments designed to support mental health, emotional wellbeing and personal growth. A psychologist is a professional trained in the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes, often working alongside therapists and counsellors to assess, diagnose and treat psychological conditions. At Phinity Therapy, both therapy and psychologist services are delivered by fully accredited professionals committed to evidence-based, compassionate care for every client.

"A new BPS-commissioned report confirms what families across Birmingham already know. There are simply not enough psychologists in the system to meet demand, and the gap is particularly stark for children and young people in educational settings. The knock-on effect reaches into every corner of mental health access across the city. Our accredited psychologists and therapists serving Aston, Lozells, Handsworth and across Birmingham are here to help. If your family needs support, please do not wait. Speak to a therapist today [https://phinitytherapy.com/contacts/]," said a spokesperson for Phinity Therapy, 95 Hagley Road, Birmingham B16 8LA.

A report commissioned by the British Psychological Society and produced by the Education Policy Institute found a chronic national shortage of educational psychologists, with a 40% workforce increase needed just to bring understaffed areas up to an acceptable benchmark. The research found that if just 10% of educational psychologists leave the profession annually, matching typical teacher attrition rates, around 350 professionals would need replacing each year, yet only 200 government-funded training places were available in 2025/26. This structural shortage in educational psychology provision places additional pressure on wider mental health services across Birmingham, making timely access to private therapy and psychologist services more important than ever. Phinity Therapy offers appointments typically within days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a therapist and a psychologist? A therapist is a broad term covering professionals trained to deliver talking therapy, such as counsellors, psychotherapists and CBT therapists. A psychologist has typically completed more extensive academic and clinical training in the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes, and may carry out assessment and diagnosis alongside treatment. At Phinity Therapy Birmingham, both therapists and psychologists work together to provide comprehensive, accredited care for individuals and families across Aston, Lozells, Handsworth and the wider West Midlands.

Why is it so difficult to access a psychologist in Birmingham? A report commissioned by the British Psychological Society found a chronic national shortage of educational psychologists specifically, with a 40% workforce increase needed just to bring understaffed areas to an acceptable standard.
