Autism Counselling in Sheffield

Holly Johnson
Psychologist, PsychD, HCPC - Clin. Psych.
Do you identify as autistic, ADHD or neurodivergent?
My many years in the NHS has shown me that therapy is not “one-size fits all”. My practice is all about meeting you where you’re at and taking you where you want to go. My personalised approach combines evidence-based psychological models, including EMDR, to target unhelpful patterns and support meaningful change in a way that works for you.

Creative Counselling
Counsellor, MBACP
Do you struggle with issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, self esteem, self harm, or relationship issues? Are you feeling stuck in your life and find it difficult to take a step forward? Have you experienced trauma such as bullying, sexual abuse, domestic violence, or bereavement, and would like to see how this may be impacting on your life and relationships today? Maybe you tried talking therapies before but seem to be getting nowhere. Creative counselling has the potential to heal you on a much deeper level, leading to long lasting change. Feelings can be accessed, and healed through the power of metaphor and symbols.

I understand the unique rhythm of a neurodivergent life—the unseen effort of masking, the overwhelm of sensory processing and the struggle to fit into systems that weren't designed for you.
I believe that connection is key to the healing process and nurturing a trusting, safe relationship with you is at the core of everything I do. In our sessions, you don't have to explain or justify your experiences. I am a real person in the room with you, offering a space where you can finally relax, feel fully accepted, and be your authentic self.

I offer supportive, down-to-earth, confidential, non-judgemental proactive counselling in a warm, comfortable, safe environment. I work mainly from a Pluralistic approach meaning that I truly believe in a person’s ability to grow and develop in the way that is best for them and by integrating approaches to counselling such as psychodynamic, person-centred and CBT we can work together to get you to a better place. I have found that many problems have their roots buried in past experiences, yet my approach is always flexible, client centred and focused primarily on client growth.

Drawing on 20 years’ experience, I see therapy as a space to come to know yourself more deeply and with care. When emotions are met with curiosity rather than fear, they often feel less frightening and overwhelming - life feels richer for it. I have a deep trust in the healing potential of the counselling & psychotherapy relationship. I offer a space where you feel listened to, respected, & where you can speak in your own voice. I value forming genuine, compassionate relationships & believe we understand one another through our shared humanity. When we feel truly met & accepted as we are, meaningful change becomes possible.
