BIRMINGHAM, England – October 4, 2026 – Phinity Therapy, a BACP-accredited practice providing child psychologist Birmingham and specialist family mental health services across the West Midlands, is expanding access to child psychologist, family therapy and psychologist Birmingham services for children, young people and families across East Birmingham and the Solihull and Warwickshire borders. New clients in Castle Bromwich (B36), Chelmsley Wood (B37, Solihull borough) and Water Orton (B46, West Midlands and Warwickshire border) are now being welcomed, with registered child psychologists and family therapists offering in-person appointments at the practice’s 95 Hagley Road clinic in Edgbaston and online sessions for clients across the region. For any family searching for a child psychologist near me or family therapy near me in East Birmingham or the Solihull border, appointments are typically within days.

A child psychologist is a specialist trained in the assessment and treatment of emotional, behavioural and developmental difficulties in children and young people. At Phinity Therapy, child psychologist Birmingham services are delivered by BACP- and BPS-registered professionals who work collaboratively with the child, their family and, where appropriate, their school — recognising that a child’s difficulties rarely exist in isolation. Family therapy brings the whole family into the therapeutic space, helping members understand their roles and patterns within the system, communicate more effectively and build healthier relationships.

“The Children’s Commissioner’s June 2026 report is the starkest yet — for the first time, over one million children have an active mental health referral in England. 365,731 are still waiting for treatment, and more than 60,000 have been waiting over two years. For families across Castle Bromwich, Chelmsley Wood and the West Midlands border who cannot wait that long, Phinity Therapy’s registered child psychologists and family therapists are here. Speak to a therapist today — your child does not have to wait,” said a spokesperson for Phinity Therapy, 95 Hagley Road, Birmingham B16 8LA.

The Children’s Commissioner’s fifth annual report on children’s mental health services, published 29 June 2026, confirms that in 2024–25, 1,048,965 children had an active referral to CAMHS — the first time the figure exceeded one million, representing almost double the number recorded in 2018–19 and a rise of nearly 10% in a single year. By the end of March 2025, 35% of children referred were still waiting for treatment, with 365,731 children still in the queue and more than 60,000 having waited over two years — an increase of more than 15,000 on the previous year. The typical waiting time across all children was 128 days, with those referred for suspected autism waiting a year on average. Real-terms spending on CAMHS increased by just 2% to £1.1 billion in 2024–25, against an almost 10% rise in referrals. Phinity Therapy’s registered child psychologists and family therapists offer appointments typically within days.
