Heidi McCallion

Update: Currently accepting new clients.

My approach is all about therapy options, not barriers: 

Come weekly, fortnightly, come once as a 'one off', come online or in person - whatever suits you!

I highly recommend visiting my website for a better sense of who I am and the work I offer:

Hi, I’m Heidi

I help people who feel stuck, in their own inner messiness, to gently untangle it, find clarity, and embrace their whole self.

Unfiltered, real, and wonderfully human.

I am based in south Birmingham in person and online. 

Let me guess, you’ve spent ages on ‘find a therapist’ pages, scrolling and hoping something just feels right. 

I get it, I’ve been there too, so I'm glad you have landed here.

I’m a qualified and registered psychotherapist with 10 years’ experience within the NHS, education settings, the private sector, family centres and therapeutic communities. I’ve supported adults, parents, teens, and little ones through all sorts of challenges and life stages.

If something here resonates, I’d love to chat - just drop me a message and we can take it from there.

Therapy matters, but it’s not everything.

One session is only about 0.6% of your week. The real work happens in the other 99.4%, as you start to weave what we explore together into your everyday life.

Still, that 0.6% matters deeply to me.

It’s a privilege to be trusted with your story, and I hold that space with care and respect.  My approach is integrative, where we untangle the tough stuff, together. 

My practice is tailored to 3 distinctive groups of people:

1. Adults 

2. Students in higher education 

3. Children & adolescents (aged 5 - 17) 

What is therapy like with Heidi at The Attuned Room:

🍯 A melting pot of therapeutic approaches to see what fits you

🤝 Relationship-centred

🎨 Creative + flexible

🌅 Trauma informed 

⏳ Explores how past experiences may have shaped your life today, and how to make changes to break patterns of thinking, feeling & doing ... if you wish to

🌈 LGBTQIA+ inclusive & affirming

Some of the areas I work closely with: 

👥 Those navigating relationship challenges or breakdowns

🌿 Those feeling stuck, unsure, or struggling with self-worth

🔥 High-achievers feeling the strain

🤍 Those processing trauma or difficult past experiences

How I support students:

🧭 A therapist who 'gets' the uni experience

🪴 A calm space away from campus and home pressures

💷 Student-friendly sensitivity

My work with children & adolescents is: 

🧸 (Ages 5 - 12) Therapy that meets them in their world 

🎧 (Aged 13 - 16) Space to talk, think, and feel seen

🛡️ Parent/carer involvement in safety planning 

I know that starting therapy can feel daunting, so I like to keep the first steps simple and low-pressure. 

When you get in touch, I’ll offer a free 20-minute chat by phone or on Teams. This isn’t a formal assessment, it’s just an opportunity for us to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you have, and see whether we feel like a good fit.

You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. I may ask a few gentle questions to help guide the conversation, such as what’s prompted you to reach out now, what you’d like support with, or whether you’ve had therapy before and how that experience was for you.

I like to keep things as relaxed as possible when we first meet, no pressure to share your whole life story, fill out intensive questionnaires, or go through formal procedures. 

I often ask more detailed questions in the first session to help me get to know your current situation better, such as employment status, general lifestyle, key relationships and your physical health needs to ensure I can offer you the most appropriate support.

My process is: 

1. Reach out 

2. Initial consultation (free)

3. 1st session & planning together 

4. Therapy begins 

Therapy isn’t just about finding someone qualified

it’s about finding someone you feel safe with.
