Counselling in Sheffield

Hi, it can be hard to share your feelings, so I offer a relaxed approach to therapy in a welcoming private safe space in Rotherham or Barnsley. Here we can start getting you the best possible outcomes for lifes struggles. With the right support and guidance we can start to make your world more manageable, learn new coping skills and build a clearer future. Your first time or not, we will go along at your pace and your duration. Together we can explore your life dynamics, hopes, and goals - past, present or future by using different therpay approaches to make long term changes, realisations and all around maintainable improvements.

Suffering from dehabilitating conditions such as depression, anxiety and low self esteem can have a devastating effect on your work and personal life. We can work with you to overcome issues such as; depression, OCD, PTSD, phobias, chronic pain, domestic abuse, intrusive or inappropriate thoughts, low self esteem and relationship issues. By helping you identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and make appropriate changes in these areas you can experience improvements and a greater sense of well-being in your day to day life.

There is no question life is stressful - especially at this time. We are all looking at the new ‘normal’ wondering how we got here.. It is normal for there to be an increase in depression and anxiety right now, but the good news is that help is available. You do not have to struggle alone. We all need a neutral, non-judgmental person to talk things through with. I believe that knowing you are not alone, and having that safe place to express your fears, or uncover how the past influences you today, is essential for mental health.

I am an experienced counsellor with 15 years in private practice. The hardest thing is to take that first step and figure out what’s happening in your life, to trust someone with what you’re going to tell them, your most private thoughts or feelings or what’s happened to you. Yet, you deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning, free of emotional pain and distress. Your story is not trivial, and I’m ready to listen and help you find the answers you need and support you with the appropriate coping mechanisms.

Art therapy enabled me to process my own past traumas, it has given me the empathy and determination to help others to see more clearly what is going on for them in the present, often through gaining a better understanding of their past. I work mostly with adolescents (aged 12-25), and primary/junior school children. Helping them to process issues such as anxiety, bullying, stress, identity, behavioural issues, grief and bereavement.

I am very much committed to helping my clients be the best version of themselves and believe that everyone has arrived at the version of themselves they are today because of what they’ve been through. That means there are always understandable reasons why someone is having a tough time or struggling with something, no matter what that difficulty might be. Because of that belief, I am far more likely to ask what has happened to you, versus what is wrong with you - even if you have a diagnosis. You might already have a clear goal, or you could be reading this wondering where on earth to start. Either way, I’m glad you made it here!

My 'specialism' or area of most experience tends to be working with low mood and depression. These labels, however, encompass a lot of varied symptoms and causes. Commonly other issues are intertwined such as trauma, anxiety and low self-esteem. Clients that begin to work with me often do so because they find that their feelings, thoughts or other symptoms have begun to affect areas of functioning in life; they find that coping mechanisms that have been helpful in the past (whether 'healthy' or 'unhealthy') are beginning to work less effectively.

You don't have to sit on your own with your struggles. Therapy is an amazing journey in which you can learn about yourself, make sense of the things you are experiencing, and learn new ways to overcome your difficulties.

With a diverse background in community psychological services, NHS secondary care affective disorder services, specialist eating disorder services, and NeuroDevelopmental Disorder services, I possess a wealth of experience in addressing a wide range of issues, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, emotion dysregulation, borderline disorder, bipolar disorders and trauma. I aim to tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of clients, rather than requiring clients to adapt to a pre-determined model.

I am an Integrative Counsellor, this means that I can alter my way of working to better suit my client's personal needs. Working this way means that I can bring different skills and theories into session that I feel my client may benefit from rather sticking to just one counselling theory. I believe that a counselling journey needs to as unique as the person embarking on it. The aim of my counselling service is to help people work towards a brighter future, one step at a time. When working on your mental health, people think of this long scary process, what I aim to do is break this journey down into steps, keeping you in control.

A very warm welcome, I have person centred counselling and psychotherapy sessions available within a week. I’m interested in what you need? Do you need to express what’s happening for you? Do you need some support to manage your thoughts and feelings? Life can be tough at times, are you feeling angry, sad, lonely, anxious, depressed, stressed, overwhelmed? Do you need to seek a way forward? I aim to offer a therapeutic relationship through a compassionate connection. I provide a non judgmental environment, free from evaluation. Whatever your facing, I will do my very best to support you, so that you don’t have to face things alone.

Are you feeling stuck, caught in two minds, not quite in control? I'm sure you've heard the story of Goldilocks- she finds the 3 bears' porridge, chairs and beds and tests each one until she discovers the ones that are 'just right' for her. Well, just like Goldilocks, we all have many different 'just rights', from how hot we like our porridge, to how fast we like to drive, to how truthful or honest we want to be. Sometimes we can balance and achieve all our different 'just rights,' and life feels good. However, sometimes our 'just rights' can be challenging to balance, they might even be in conflict, and life feels hard.

Are you looking for an autism or ADHD assessment? Have you always felt as though you see the world differently to others? Have you wondered why other people seem to get ‘it’ (whatever ‘it’ seems to be) whilst you’re on the outside looking in? Have you noticed that you can focus well (sometimes too well!) on the things you love but become distracted when doing the things you have to do? If you are an adult questioning if you are autistic and/or ADHD, I offer specialist diagnostic assessments which follow NICE guidelines, to help you to understand yourself better.

Thank you for visiting my profile. At present, I am only in a position to offer therapy online. The two approaches that I adopt are EMDR and CBT. I am currently studying for a PgDip in cognitive behavioural psychotherapy and therefore registered as a trainee in this modality.

Whatever your issues and concerns, talking to someone about your troubles tends to help them become more manageable especially, with the added support of someone who will help you consider them from different perspectives and to think about possible solutions or how to cope with their outcomes. As a BACP registered Counsellor, I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice, and my priority is to provide well-being and good practice as a counsellor and to work with the client’s best interest.

My name is Zahra, I use a variety of skills and tailor therapy exclusively for you to help you work through your difficulties and move forwards . Using CBT we can explore deep rooted feelings, how they affect your life and how to make a change. We can build on resilience and provide you with a toolbox of strategies and techniques to handle whatever life throws at you and make lasting improvements. You can begin to break the cycle of repetitive, challenging and destructive behaviours and feelings. You will gain insight into your intrusive thoughts and negative thinking and how to challenge them and revolutionise your thinking.

Pull up a seat, get comfortable, and lets really talk about what matters to you. Perhaps you’re passionate about changing the world or just your small corner of it. You want to use your voice and take up space, but don’t know where to start. Sometimes the weight of what you’re trying to handle feels too great. I get it - life is often messy, unpredictable, and confusing. Bread and Roses has been designed as a compassionate and inspiring space for creative thinkers, cultural rebels, sensitive souls and the queer community. Whatever you are facing, you don't have to face it alone and all of you is welcome here.

Hi, I’m Janet and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I know taking this first step is scary and probably one of the most difficult decisions you will make in your life but sometimes things don’t go how you expect turning your life upside down and you ask yourself “Why me?” The more you try the harder it becomes you’re feeling anxious, stressed, maybe having panic attacks, unable to sleep or concentrate because you don’t know what to do or how to cope. It's not always easy talking to family and friends because you feel they won’t understand and judge you. I can offer you a safe place to explore these feelings.
