Suicidal Ideation Counselling in Sheffield
In more severe cases some clients feel that suicide is the only option.
Hi my work with children and young people has enabled me to adopt a common sense approach. I practise Integrative Counselling, that means I use CBT, Person Centred, Pyschodynamic, etc, concepts. Which are the building blocks of thoughts and beliefs which affect how we feel. I understand the first step in seeking counselling is hard, if you have sought support, you may not know how to effect change it’s at this point we explore choices.

I have extensive experience also working with anxiety, depression, bereavement and bereavement by suicide, as well as issues such as anger, sadness, shame and relationship issues.
As a trauma and mental health-informed counsellor, I understand that facing our experiences is hard and that it can feel too difficult to hold our painful stories too close to ourselves. In a space where qualities such as trust, genuineness, openness, support and challenge exist, we will work together to make sense of the experiences that are affecting you.

My experience has been varied, having worked for the last 5 years with both adults and young people on issues including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, and I have particular experience in working with those who’ve lived through trauma or abuse, and those who are struggling with suicidal ideation or self-harm.
Life is full of unpredictable change and challenges, and we all need support sometimes. I specialise in reconnecting people with themselves, and with their direct experience as a resource for living – supporting them to restore a real sense of balance, connectedness and meaning in their lives.
I offer a safe, collaborative space where we will focus on what is most important to you. I will move alongside you with understanding and presence, both supporting and challenging you, while we process what is happening together. Therapy will be a place where all aspects of your human experience are welcomed without judgement.

I am a bilingual psychotherapist offering ongoing and time-limited therapy both in English and Vietnamese. To me, therapy is an opportunity for us to explore ourselves, and search for meanings in life. My aim is to offer you a place where you can talk about your concerns freely and reflect on the situations that you find yourself in. I attempt to help you make some sense of your experiences, and through this process, possibilities might come to light, and you can then decide what you would like to do next.

People seek therapy for different reasons. You may be feeling low, depressed, anxious or stressed; or perhaps you just have the feeling that things are not quite right. It might be that the distress is such that you cannot function at all. These could be recent feelings or you may have been experiencing them for years. In any case, counselling or psychotherapy can help you make sense of things, explore different options or make changes. Some of these issues can be sorted after a few sessions; in other instances, a more long-term approach will be needed.

Hello I am Claire. Are you struggling with how you see yourself? You might find that you experience self-doubt and anxiety. Do you feel you judge yourself harshly and are your worst critic. Maybe you are having difficulties with close relationships or notice patterns in your life which you feel are holding you back. Are these difficulties affecting your day-to-day life or your relationships? You might be tired of feeling anxious and uncertain and find that you are comparing yourself to others. In my experience these can be hard ways to live and counselling can help you understand yourself be less critical of yourself.

I provide individual Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for adults. I have over twenty years' experience as a therapist in the NHS. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy aims at deep understanding of psychological difficulties. It focuses on how we understand ourselves, our relationships, our past and present. It uses the interaction between patient and therapist to help understand patterns in other relationships. The therapy also considers more unconscious aspects, those things we are less aware of, but which can shape our lives. A psychodynamic approach can be helpful when difficulties are longstanding, repetitive and hard to resolve.

I believe that counselling provides an opportunity for clients to progress towards a more satisfying way of life. It provides you with the opportunity to find your own solutions to personal emotional problems. It is often easier for us to talk about life issues with someone who is completely impartial and will maintain our confidentiality.

Suicidal Ideation Counsellors
How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioural therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.
Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
