I often collaborate with people who define as highly sensitive, neurodivergent or alternative in some way. You may think, feel and experience the world differently and that can come with huge ups and downs. Perhaps you look around and wonder how everyone else seems to be holding it together when you feel and think so deeply. Perhaps you get stuck in patterns of thinking and behaving that no longer help. I get it - life is often messy, unpredictable, and confusing, and at times it can feel like the cliff of overwhelm and burnout looms large. Curious about change in your life, work and relationships? Then lets connect!

Central Sheffield location for face to face sessions. EMDR therapy is now available as part of the services I provide. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a well-established therapeutic approach used to treat trauma, anxiety, and other emotional difficulties by helping the mind and body safely process unresolved experiences. Life can be hard and in our most challenging moments it can be difficult to reach out to those around us for help. That's where counselling comes in. I offer an unbiased, empathetic, warm, non-judgemental space to explore what is holding you back from reaching your true potential.

Nice to meet you! I'm Cass. An integrative therapist based in South Yorkshire currently offering online and telephone therapy. Here to collaborate and help people with any support they may be looking for. My approach with therapy is the ideology of taking the clinical, cold side out of the equation and creating something that people can really feel free to be themselves in. I understand that it can be hard to take the first step, and even harder to do the work. I can help support you with that journey, in a judgement free and safe space to heal and grow.

Hello, life can feel overwhelming at times. Anxiety, fear, depression and other emotional struggles are part of being human — yet when they become too heavy, it can be difficult to cope alone. As a trauma-informed integrative counsellor, I provide a safe and supportive space to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, so you can develop a deeper understanding of yourself and begin to make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we’ll work towards uncovering what you need to feel more balanced, connected, and in control of your life.

Whether you grew up knowing you were autistic/ADHD or realised later in adulthood, it can have an influence on your ability to connect, express emotions & to let go of neurotypical (NT) standards & thrive as a neurodivergent (ND) adult. Navigating these difficulties can lead to feeling disconnected & split from oneself, burnt-out, & being confused about the future. Therapy is a great place to build a secure sense of self that helps you feel calm & centred even through the most difficult times. Together we can heal the disconnection, build coping strategies to recover from burn-out & develop strength from the challenges you face.

I'm trained in different therapeutic approaches, so I fit the approach to you, not to other way around. I'm best at being honest, safe, and alongside you as I help you to deeply understand yourself. From those foundations we build up a better psychological safety for you. We do therapy, and you work toward your goals with me, knowing I am on your team.

I have been working in this field for over twenty years now and I still have a determined passion for it. I am trusted to hear the life narratives and difficulties of those seeking support and my aim is to help you feel heard and empowered. I have never lost sight of this aim. I have worked with people who have felt very isolated by their own thoughts, felt intense shame, and struggled to cope with overwhelming feelings. Usually they have not felt able to talk to those around them for fear of judgment, embarrassment or rejection. I feel privileged to have been trusted by my clients which enables me to help lessen their burden.
