Savita Nayyar

Limited availability. Daytime only.

Please feel free to get in touch.

Hello. I'm Savita and I run a thriving private practice in Sutton Coldfield where I offer a space to talk, connect, feel & breathe. 

Serenity Counselling and Psychotherapy was founded based on my 20 years as a practising therapist MBACP (Accred) and 30 years of experience in the helping professions. It developed from my love of supporting adults and young people to living more peaceful lives. 

My goal is to offer you a confidential, safe & warm space to work through your difficulties. I am a professional therapist with experience of working with varied stress/mental health issues and illness, both mild and more acute or serious concerns. My experience includes working in social care, charity, education, business & private sectors.

I am committed to working in a trauma sensitive way. I have developed a holistic way of working that values you as an individual whilst also understanding your cultural/family context and your life experience. My service is kept informed with up to date research based on clinical excellence. The service you receive is bespoke to you and your needs.

I'm passionate about the long term benefits of therapy and am committed to making a difference to my clients' lives. 

My counselling experience is substantial and comes from a true understanding that we all have worries from time to time. The world can be a stressful experience without the resources, self awareness & wisdom to help us get through. Maybe it's time to be courageous and get the support you need to figure out why patterns keep replaying themselves. Are you ready for things to improve? I firmly believe we all have a right to thrive. 

Our time together is an opportunity for learning and making sense of what has happened whilst holding hope about how it could be different. Feeling lost, anxious & depressed are part of the human experience and there should be no shame in this. I want you to believe it can also feel better.

• I combine 30 years of professional experience with a down to earth, playful and approachable nature. 
  
• I bring with me my ancestry alongside psychotherapeutic training and considerable lived experience. 
  
• You can expect to be greeted with warmth, a listening ear and a genuine interest in what makes you the unique and whole person you are.  
  
• I am positive about working with you creatively at a soul level. 
  

Counselling can be a fascinating and transformative experience. My clients describe an inner joy as they grow in their self-awareness, have a more compassionate relationship with themselves whilst discovering their true purpose. 

My values: I am welcoming & inclusive to people of all nationalities, ethnicities, ages, abilities, classes, sexual orientations, gender identity, religious identity and spiritual beliefs. You will be accepted, valued & respected  here. 

May you be granted the Serenity to accept the things you cannot change, the Courage to change the things you can and the Wisdom to know the difference.

• Our first contact is a no obligation, 20 min telephone consultation and is free of charge. 

• So reach out and we can talk in complete confidence about how I can help you. I will get back to you within 24 hours.

My practice is currently full. Please check back in January for an update on my availability.

I do have a waiting list in place.

If you feel I'd be the right therapist for you please do get in touch.

Online therapy is great for reliable access to safe & convenient ongoing emotional support.

Daytime availability. Weekdays only.

I have trained in CSTD Seven Eyed model with Robin Shohet & Joan Wilmot. 

The model invites supervisees to metaphorically bring the client into the room and connect with them in the present in a felt sense. This enables us to really see your clients afresh and offers us some rich insights.

We might use role play, metaphors and reflect on the role of you as the therapist with your client for example. We can also bring into awareness any transference and counter-transference material. 

Our shared goal is to reflect and deepen the noticing together to allow us to see more clearly and pay regard to the unconscious material in a felt sense.

We pay due attention to the field around you & your client eg culture, family, spiritual and political contexts.

I am a therapist of over 20 years experience with an additional 10 years in a related helping profession. My work has been based in social care, education, charity and the private sector. I work online and from my home office in North Birmingham.

My offering is grounded in person centred, humanistic and psychodynamic theory. I also hold a spiritual practice which deepens the emotional hold in wisdom, purpose and  a graceful curiosity. 

You will be equally challenged and supported in your therapy work.

I offer 20 minute zoom meeting to ascertain our potential to work together. This time is free of charge.

We can also gather whether we can match in terms of diary availability.
