Counselling in Sheffield

Hello, my name is Mick Dixon. I am a person-centred psychotherapist. I’m drawn to those concerns that we have regarding our meaning and purpose in the world that can touch us in unique and distinct ways: as melancholy, anxiety, loneliness, unnamed trauma, illness, inertia or as anger, self-criticism or feelings of powerlessness. I am also interested in the the correlation between the body and mental wellbeing and how our environments social, political, biological, physical, impact on us both bodily and psychologically.

Welcome to my profile, whether you would like to explore a specific issue or understand yourself better, I offer a welcoming space where you can explore difficulties you are having at your own pace. I offer both short/long term therapy depending on your individual needs. I aim to work with you collaboratively and creatively. Everyone that I work with is seen as unique, each possessing their own inner resources and an inbuilt ability to thrive and grow. I understand how obstacles can impede on growth and that individuals will have different needs when seeking therapy and support.

For some time now you might have been struggling to make sense of how you are feeling and wish to talk things through with a professional. This could relate to difficulties with your mood and some behaviours you are not happy with and want to explore and work on these. Perhaps this was because of a recent event, or something that is related to your early childhood experiences, or even a combination of different life circumstances. You may be thinking that despite already seeking help for some of the issues that you have been facing, you feel unfulfilled and think that something is missing in terms of healing.

Hello there. Are you struggling with feelings that are overwhelming? Or struggling to feel anything at all? I can offer you a caring and supportive space to work this through. I'm an experienced Integrative Counsellor so can draw on different counselling approaches and strategies to meet your individual needs. However, my main concern will always be to build a positive and equal therapeutic relationship between us where you can feel accepted and respected, heard and understood. Whatever brings you to counselling, I hope that together we can make sense of your experiences and enable you to move forwards in a purposeful and positive way.

People come to see me for all sorts of reasons. They might be having trouble in friendships or relationships, experiencing anxiety or depression, have lost someone close to them, be struggling with low self-esteem or body image issues, engaging in self-harm, or just not feeling quite themselves. Having a place to talk freely and focus on what is important to you can help you to make changes that can improve your life. Therapy can leave you feeling happier and more at ease in your own skin.

Do you feel like you are not yourself lately? Work or study is going well but you are ‘off your game’ at times and find yourself demotivated? Maybe the idea of social gatherings makes you feel anxious? Or friends have noticed something has changed in you. This can make you feel isolated and alone like no one understands. Perhaps you are finishing study or making a career change and are unsure of where you are going now. Do you struggle to be ‘truly you’ around family and friends who judge your choices? I offer a warm, inclusive, relaxed space where you can feel safe, accepted and understood.

Hi. I am Gordon, a qualified Arts Psychotherapist. I worked for thirty years in construction, office, and schools-based work before training as a therapist; having found therapy and counselling to be helpful to my own experiences. I enjoy sharing the benefit of arts-based therapy with others who feel in need of a bit of help. Dyslexic myself, my experience is that neurodiversity has many facets; stimulating anxieties and creating blockages that cannot easily be put into words. Art Therapy is a distinct approach to Psychotherapy that uses a mix of art materials as self-expression and communication tools.

Hi, I’m James, as you can see. I wonder what’s going on for you. There's no right or wrong reason to speak to me and no right or wrong thing to say (or not say, maybe you just want some quiet). Maybe things just don't feel right or you have clear goals but can't get there, maybe there's this thing and you're not quite sure even hoe to talk about it. However you find yourself now, I look forward to meeting you.

Hello, I'm Alex. I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist . I work predominantly in mental health services with people who have a number of difficult experiences (including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and emotion regulation). Although I'd be happy to discuss with you any presenting difficulties you may be experiencing.

Are you struggling with a pattern of behaviour or a relationship that you know is harmful, but you can’t seem to move on, or change things for the better? Through working with you in a safe, accepting way I can help you gain a fresh perspective on what has been troubling you. Building on this, we can work together to help you make positive, lasting changes to your behaviour and state of mind. Due to my previous career, I specialise in helping with the issues that can arise from the demands of high-pressure work in both business and creative settings.

I have experience of working with a range of issues including, but not exclusively: Anxiety, Low moods, Stress, Loneliness, Bereavement, Trauma, Childhood experiences, Difficult relationships, Attachment issues, Identity, Self-Esteem. I work with clients to identify the areas they would like to process and understand. Working with the clients needs to get their desired outcomes, which might be improved moods, improved self-esteem and confidence, greater self-awareness or emotional release. Alongside private practice I work as a school counsellor with ages 11-19, therefore having experience of work with young people.
