Adrian Jama

I offer online video sessions through Zoom for adult clients.

About Me:

• My name is Adrian Jama and I am a MSc Qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
  
• My practice is rooted in inclusivity, non-judgement and a dedication for providing you with a safe and affirming space that not only celebrates your identity and promotes self-acceptance, but also allows you to reflect and grow in self-awareness and confidence.
  
• I have a passion and extensive experience working with gender, sexuality and the LGBTQIA+ community.
  

My Approach to Therapy:

• Being an Integrative Therapist means that my approach is tailored to your individual needs. I believe that building a trusting, collaborative and empowering working relationship will give us the cornerstone to help you strengthen and reach your full potential.
  
• I am empathic and will accept you for who you are, no matter what, giving you a space to self-express, feel 'heard' and live with pride. 
  

My Values:

• I understand how difficult life can be in today's society, and hard it can be to reach out and seek support.
  
• No matter what your gender or sexual identity, cultural or religious beliefs and ethnicity is, I will meet you with compassion and join you on your journey to becoming the best version you can possibly be.
• Together, we can embark on a journey of healing, growth and self-discovery. 

My Experience:

• I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults in a number of different settings, including the education system, pupil referral units, third sector organisations and now in private practice.
  
• I also work at a University in Birmingham as a Lecturer delivering seminars and workshops on both undergraduate and postgraduate counselling courses.
  
• My role in academia allows me to conduct psychological research that further develops my knowledge and skills - influencing my way of working.

• Currently offering online therapy to adult clients with varying presenting difficulties.

What are the next steps if you are interested?

1. Schedule an Initial Consultation/Assessment:

Once I receive an enquiry from you, I will invite you for an initial non-obligatory consultation over Zoom. It will give us both an opportunity to determine if we are the right 'fit' for each other. We will also agree on a regular time slot to have our sessions.

2. Send and Sign Contract:

I will email you the contract. This will outline the therapeutic boundaries and further details of our work. This is something that we will talk about in more detail during our consultation.

3. Starting Sessions:

We will meet once a week, typically on the same day and same time each week, reviewing our work every six weeks. This is something we will plan and discuss together.
