Trauma & difficult experiences
Exploring the impact of past events safely, when you are ready — at your pace, without judgement.
Your space, your pace
Tash Glover
BACP-registered integrative counsellor · BA (Hons) Integrative Counselling
If life has knocked you off balance, you deserve a calm space to talk — without judgement. I offer integrative counselling in Wednesbury: you set the pace, and I walk alongside you with warmth and honesty.
For more than twenty-five years I have supported children, parents, and families through education and therapeutic work — including time with organisations such as Kaleidoscope and Murray Hall. 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-five 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 hold a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling, am BACP registered (00972506), and a member of the NCPS (NCS22-02212). Clients often tell me they feel at ease quickly — approachable and understanding — that the therapy room feels like a warm hug, and that they finally have space to be heard. Workplace coaching is a separate service and is not currently promoted on this site.
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.
-
Integrative, led by you
You set the pace. Person-centred warmth is at the heart of the work, with CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused tools when they help — never a one-size-fits-all formula.
-
Approachable and non-judgemental
Clients often say Tash is easy to talk to and genuinely present — a calm space where you can be yourself without feeling judged.
-
Accredited and accountable
BACP and NCPS 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
My style is integrative: grounded in person-centred counselling — warm, non-judgemental, and led by you — with CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches woven in when they feel useful. You are the expert on your own life; given honesty, empathy, and acceptance, many people grow in self-awareness and confidence.
I work affirmingly with neurodivergent clients, including many people exploring autism and ADHD. 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.

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.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars.
