Counselling in Sheffield

I love working with clients who are seeking connection, support and a greater understanding of themselves. I can support individuals online or face to face in walking therapy. Walking therapy provides the chance to connect with nature, and self-regulate whilst benefiting from movement and grounding in a different more natural setting. I can work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, low mood, stress and many other issues.

Distress can manifest in many ways: through our bodies, minds, emotions, relationships (or lack of them), and even in physical illness. I work with people facing a wide range of issues, including interpersonal struggles, emotional pain, and the impact of illness—whether it's a chronic condition or the challenges of a palliative diagnosis.

I know that even thinking about counselling is a big decision and can seem really overwhelming, but it can be an opportunity for you to be in a safe space that is purely for you to explore what you are finding difficult. Before you even come to a session, lets have a chat to see if it feels right before taking the next step. I work with what you bring into the room, however, people learn in different ways and I can work in a Person Centred way or with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or even a mixture of both. As a trained listener, I aim to develop a therapeutic relationship to help you explore your issues at a pace to suit you.

Whatever emotional difficulties you are experiencing please be assured that I will bring to our sessions a background of extensive training and clinical experience. I am a Doctor of Psychotherapy; I have a master's degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling and I have over 30,000 hours of clinical experience over thirty years. If you are new to therapy I will endeavour to make you feel at ease and will answer your questions about the therapy I offer and how it might help. If you have experienced short term therapy but are now looking for a deeper journey, perhaps into your past, the approaches I use may be for you.

If you have landed on this page I believe an important part of you knows that you are suffering and need support. I know myself that entering a therapeutic relationship when we are feeling uncertain or vulnerable is a brave and courageous act. Good therapy should lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves, others, and ultimately a reduction in our suffering. I use my experience and clinical expertise to help people who are dealing with life transitions, illness or trauma e.g. bereavement, retirement, divorce, parenting, chronic or life-threatening illness, adult autism & ADHD, eating disorders, difficult/abusive relationships.

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.

Pressured by work or life? Struggling to cope? I’ve been there—I know change is possible with the right support. For years, I battled the same pressures, turning to alcohol to cope, until I realized I had the power to make different choices—ones that worked for me.
I know firsthand the toll that self-doubt, pressure, and unhealthy coping mechanisms can take on your mental health and relationships. Having struggled with these challenges and the constant pressure to always perform, I’ve learned that recovery is possible—not just from these habits, but from the fear of failing to meet others' expectations.

My name is Sarah and I have over 20 years experience working as a Psychotherapist in the NHS and in private practice. I specialise in CBT, ACT, Compassion focused approaches and in EMDR. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), includes a range of talking therapies, all based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, what we do, and how our bodies feel, are all connected. If we change one of these we can alter all the others. When we’re low or upset, we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding which can worsen how we feel. CBT works to help us notice thinking styles or unhelpful things that we do so we can live better.

Choosing me as your counsellor. If you’re looking for a counsellor, you need to find someone who is going to be a good “fit” for you. I believe that the most important part of any counselling is having a good relationship with the therapist. You need to be able to trust me and feel comfortable talking to me about yourself. Otherwise you cannot get the best out of the experience. Contacting a counsellor for the first time can be daunting. You might be nervous or struggling to put things into words. It is okay if you are not quite sure what you want from this, I will do everything I can to put you at your ease.
