Anxiety & stress
Worry, panic, overwhelm, and burnout — finding steadier ground at your pace.
Your space, your pace
Tash Glover
BACP-registered counsellor
If life has knocked you off balance, you deserve a calm space to talk — without judgement. I offer person-centred counselling in Wednesbury: you set the pace, and I walk alongside you with warmth and honesty.
For more than twenty years I have supported families through education and therapeutic work. The Phoenix symbolises renewal — at Phoenix Renewed, many clients find their footing again step by step.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Tash
Meet Tash Glover
I am a wife, a mother of four, and someone who understands how demanding family life can be. For more than twenty years I have worked in education as a therapeutic mentor — supporting children, parents, and families through loss, change, anxiety, and conflict. That experience shapes how I work today: calmly, without judgement, and always with you at the centre.
I am BACP registered (00972506) and a member of the NCPS (NCS22-02212). Clients often tell me they feel at ease quickly — that the therapy room feels like a warm hug, and that they finally have space to be heard. (I also hold ICF coaching credentials for separate workplace coaching enquiries.)
When you work with Phoenix Renewed, you work with me — not a rotating team. That continuity matters, especially when you are sharing something deeply personal.
Why Phoenix Renewed?
The Black Country deserves counselling that feels human — not clinical. Here is what sets Phoenix apart when you are choosing where to turn.
-
One counsellor, one relationship
Every session is with Tash. You are not passed between practitioners or lost in a large centre — you build trust with the same person throughout.
-
A private, welcoming room
Sessions take place in a calm, cosy therapy space in Wednesbury — a dedicated retreat away from everyday noise, with free parking nearby.
-
20 years supporting families
Long experience in education and family work means Tash understands parenting pressures, school issues, bereavement, and the ripple effects on everyone at home.
-
Person-centred, led by you
You set the pace. Tash offers unconditional positive regard, empathy, and honesty — plus solution-focused support when you want clearer direction.
-
Accredited and accountable
BACP, NCPS, and ICF membership mean professional standards, ethical practice, and ongoing development you can rely on.
-
Try before you commit
A free 15-minute phone consultation lets you ask questions and see whether counselling feels right — with no pressure to book.
My approach to counselling
I practise person-centred counselling: a warm, non-judgemental approach where you are the expert on your own life. Given the right conditions — honesty, empathy, and acceptance — many people grow in self-awareness and confidence.
The core conditions I offer are:
-
Unconditional positive regard (UPR)
Accepting and valuing you, without judgement, exactly as you are in each session.
-
Congruence
Honesty and transparency in how I experience you and your world — a grounded, real presence.
-
Empathic understanding
Seeing your viewpoint as closely as I can — as if I were walking beside you in it.
Counselling is not about me fixing your life for you — it is about creating space to hear yourself clearly, build on your strengths, and find your own way forward. I will not judge what you bring; you lead the session.
How I can help
Every session is with Tash — not a rotating team. Choose the pathway that fits you; we can talk it through in your free consultation.

How soon can I be seen?
- Free consultation: call, text, or WhatsApp on 07359 082492 — Tash aims to respond within 48 hours.

A guardian angel
Tash is so lovely and welcoming and instantly put me at ease. Before I saw Tash I could not see a future in front of me. Tash showed me the light and helped to guide me through my darkest hours. She showed me the tools I needed to help myself and my family and myself are so grateful to her.
I 100% recommend anyone in seeing Tash, she’s helped me deal with my grief, depression, abuse and neglect. Thank you so much Tash, you are literally living proof of a guardian angel x

Like a warm hug — helped me find me
Tash has been incredible with me over the past few months; she is so genuine and present during sessions and she has all the time in the world for you. Her presence is literally like a warm hug! She has helped me find me, and given me so much perspective that I needed to see through my problems. I couldn’t be more grateful for her and I highly recommended her services!
P.S: her therapy room is so cosy and always warm and has tissues which is a big plus!

Genuinely cares and invests
When I started my journey with Tash I was very nervous and unsure. After our first session I felt relaxed, and each week I was able to make baby steps moving forward. Tash is easy to talk to and I would recommend her to anyone. She genuinely cares and is invested in supporting you.

Frequently asked questions
How do I book my first session?
Start with a free 15-minute consultation — call or text 07359 082492, message on WhatsApp, or use the contact form. If you both feel counselling is right for you, Tash will arrange a first full session at a time that suits you.
Do you offer online counselling?
Yes. Sessions can be in person at Tame Avenue, Wednesbury WS10 0RL, or online if that is easier for you. Many clients across Walsall, Wolverhampton, and the wider Black Country choose online when travel is difficult.
How much does counselling cost?
Individual sessions are £45; couples sessions are £80. A concession rate may be available — please ask when you enquire. Payment by cash, card, or bank transfer.
What happens in the first counselling session?
The first session is a chance to talk about what has brought you to counselling, ask questions, and get a feel for the room and how Tash works. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with — you lead the pace.
Is counselling confidential?
Yes. What you share in session stays between you and Tash, within the ethical boundaries of BACP practice. If there is a serious risk of harm, Tash will explain any limits to confidentiality clearly and sensitively.
Can I bring a partner or family member?
Couples counselling is available at £80 per session. For other family situations, please mention this when you enquire so Tash can suggest the most helpful approach.
How soon can I be seen?
Tash aims to reply within 48 hours. After your free consultation she will confirm when a first full session is available. Private counselling can often start sooner than NHS talking-therapy routes — exact timing depends on the diary.
Is this right if NHS waits are too long?
Many people seek private counselling when NHS waits feel too long. Phoenix Renewed offers a calm, local first step — it is not an emergency service. For crisis support, contact your GP, NHS 111, or Samaritans on 116 123.
