Counselling in Sheffield

Hi, my name is Laura Turner and I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist, with training in Cognitive Analytic Therapy. Sometimes people can find themselves stuck in patterns of thinking, feeling and doing and may struggle to know what is preventing them from moving forward and making change. You may be feeling stressed or anxious, experiencing low mood, problems with sleep or be having difficulties in your relationships, at work or with your health. You may have experienced difficult or traumatic events, either in the past or more recently and these may be impacting how you cope, keeping you stuck in negative patterns.

I specialise in working with people who find themselves misunderstood, unwanted and even frightening to others. Relationships are almost impossible and always full of conflict. When you work with me I will support you to manage your emotions, navigate the mysterious world of relationships and find your path.

Do you feel lost? Do you feel lonely  in a world of people who seem to be swimming in the opposite direction to you? Do you feel confused or unsure about who you are or what you want? Do you want to be able to set boundaries in your life that keep you safe? Do you want to start saying Yes and No to the things that you matter to you? Do you want to be able to manage your emotions instead of them managing you? Do you want you want to rediscover who you are really are? I offer Counselling, psychotherapy and life coaching to adults and young people who want to explore who they are, what they want and they don’t want in their life

I will offer you the time, privacy and support required to explore aspects of your life you may feel you need to understand better or areas in which you would like to grow. Somewhere impartial and unconnected with your everyday life and as someone with who you can share thoughts and feelings. I work in an Integrative Counselling approach which has the basic assumptions that we are naturally social beings with the ability and wish to relate externally to others and internally to ourselves. Due to the significance of relationships in this approach, the therapeutic relationship between us will be central to the process of Counselling.

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 feelings of anxiety, grief, overwhelm or loss? Are these feelings getting in the way of you living your life? Is the uncertain nature of the world fueling your stress and anxiety or impacting on those that you care for? I specialize in three areas; working with clients processing bereavement and loss, working with clients who feel anxious and overwhelmed; often due to an unprocessed single traumatic event and working with young people in their twenties and early thirties often but not exclusively graduates, who are feeling low and anxious. I also provide monthly maintenance well being sessions.

My training is in person-centred and experiential psychotherapy and counselling. In addition to this, I have 28 years experience as a Registered Mental Nurse, working primarily with people who have substance use problems. I completed an MSc in Person Centred and Experiential Psychotherapy in 2017 and have worked in an NHS staff support service as a counsellor since then, alongside my private practice. My approach is based on offering a compassionate, non judgmental approach within a safe environment in the hope that this will allow clarity, reinforce current coping mechanisms and foster future growth. **Online Therapy only**

My ideal client could be experiencing bereavement, wanting to address the impact of previous violence and trauma, exploring trust issues in their relationships or managing family estrangement. Other issues my client could be bringing are low self esteem or struggling with a particular situation in their life.

I have a deep trust in the healing capacity that a counselling relationship can provide. I believe each individual brings with them their own qualities & experiences, everyone is unique. Seeing beyond labels to the person, I recognize that it is the individual that knows themself best. I strive to build relationships in which clients say they feel empowered & listened to as I offer an attentive, understanding and accepting space. The nature of my counselling practice allows the individuals I work with to acquire compassion & gentleness for self, to develop healthy boundaries that allow personal growth and healing.

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 but... However you find yourself now, I look forward to meeting you.

When you attend counselling, I will aim to help you feel valued, heard and understood. I see each person as the expert in their own life and my aim is to support you to identify the difficulties you are experiencing and empower, facilitate and resource you to gain new perspectives and move forward in meaningful ways. Reconnecting with your strengths and increasing your ability to trust in yourself. I believe 'knowledge is power' and when we start to understand what led to a certain way of being, then we have the power to change it and move forward.

I am a qualified integrative therapist and registered MBACP based in Barnsley/Sheffield, working face-to-face and online. A naturally relaxed, warm, and reflective individual, I aim to provide non-judgemental, encouraging support, and to assist in exploring and moving forward with issues causing you difficulty. My experience includes working as a counsellor for services within the charity sector, and with clients experiencing a wide range of issues.

Do you find that despite your very best efforts to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings such as anxiety, depression and/or anger, your difficulties are still holding you back? Do you find that your ways of coping can make things worse in the long-term? You may be finding that your relationships with others are suffering as a result, and you might be finding it difficult to talk to friends and family about your difficulties. Are you struggling to find a way to move forward? Do you feel like you’ve lost touch with what’s important to you, and lost your sense of direction in life?

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.

Are you struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction (gambling, alcohol, substances), relationship issues or domestic violence, bereavement or loss, poor self confidence? These are issues that we all sometimes face, and I can help you resolve them through safe, confidential talking therapy. I'm committed to and passionate about helping clients explore and overcome issues and difficulties in their lives, in order to feel able to move towards a brighter future.

20 years in practice has provided me with a wealth of experience, working with clients of all ages from a variety of backgrounds. My aim is always to be alongside each person, working in the best way for them, focusing on helping them to move on through their individual issues. Whether you feel stressed or anxious, low in mood or unhappy, whether you have lost someone or experienced a significant change in your life, are struggling with a relationship or with your own confidence issues, I will listen and explore ways with you to reach a better place.
