Online Counselling for England

Sometimes life can get on top of you, and feels more difficult than it should. You may be feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or unable to connect fully with those around you. I will support you to work through these feelings, understanding and accepting where you are right now, and exploring what you might want to do to move forward. I provide a safe, warm and non-judgemental environment where you feel valued and heard; a supportive space where you have the opportunity to talk about your life and experiences. working through things at your own pace.

Have you faced judgement for simply being yourself? Has your sexuality, identity, gender, and life choices been disapproved of? It's challenging to live with constant questioning from family, friends, or others. We may even begin to question ourselves, wondering if we're "normal," if we're making the right choices, or if we'll ever be accepted. These thoughts can make it difficult to be confident in who we are and to find happiness. My role here is not to aim to fix things or help you feel "normal". Instead, I strive to work alongside you to discover a path that is uniquely yours, empowering you to be yourself and find happiness.

It can be exceptionally tough to start looking for therapy, and I'm proud of you for doing so today. As both a practicing therapist and as someone who has healed and grown in therapy myself, I know how it feels to be in both chairs in the therapy office. If you are looking for somewhere to create meaning in your life, you are feeling lost or hopeless, or you are seeking emotional support, please get in touch. I’m offering therapy exclusively through Skype, Zoom, and by phone, depending on your preference. While I plan to be back in the office to see people face-to-face when it is safe to do so, I am also excited to see you online!

I am a queer, non binary therapist. My approach is Humanistic in nature, meaning I am guided by the clients I work with and focus on the here-and-now to explore patterns of thought and behaviour. I create an empathetic and non-judgmental space for us to work together, in a collaborative way, to explore your feelings, behaviours and experiences. My practice is informed by intersectional and inclusive feminism and anti-oppressive practices. I encourage enquiries from all LGBTQ+ folks, transgender and gender non-conforming people, people in non-monogamous or unconventional relationships, sex workers, and other marginalised groups.

Welcome. Counselling can make a big difference in how you feel and how you approach personal difficulties. You are only one step away from finding the help you are seeking. Together, we can decide what would be the most beneficial use of our sessions. Talking freely about what is really on your mind, even if you feel ashamed or are afraid that anyone would laugh at your struggles and diminish them can bring great relief. You do not have to cope on your own. You are not alone. Clients say about me that I am warm, authentic, and empathic. I believe that humour has its place in therapy. While it is hard work, therapy can be fun too.

You may have been suffering for a while or perhaps something has happened recently to upset and disrupt your life. You need someone safe to turn to with your feelings, someone who is not going to judge you or feel burdened by your needs. You want to work things out and feel supported. Together we can explore, understand your situation, build on your strengths and increase your capacity and confidence.

Do you feel different than other people, like nobody seems to understand you? Do you often feel like an outsider? Perhaps you have trouble standing up for yourself or speaking your truth. Do you tend to cater to other people's needs and don’t get what you need? Do people sometimes tell you that you're a loving and giving person, but you feel flawed and unlovable? Do you feel uncomfortable in social situations, fearing that people will reject you if you stand out? Do you feel depressed? Do you often feel anxious? Perhaps you often don’t know what you need or want. Are you very hard on yourself and have lots of self-critical thoughts?

I believe that the 3 most common reasons leading people to seek therapy are Anger, Sadness & Belief System. This belief system could be one you were taught by somebody else or one you have created that is not serving you, for example feeling that you are not enough or that you are unloveable. I offer safety and support with the unbearable. I provide guidance in your discovery and unpacking of baggage. I use creative methods: art, body work, play therapy and nature.

If you’re feeling stressed, lonely or overwhelmed, I can help! I’m a warm, empathetic and open-minded counsellor, and I provide a safe, confidential space where you will be heard, accepted and supported. I will listen to you and discuss your hopes, goals, dreams as well as things you struggle with. I will support you in discovering more about your authentic self and work with you on creating the life you desire.

Queer-, trans- and polyamory-affirming. At different points in our lives, we struggle with the feeling that our life has lost its sense of purpose or direction. This experience of aimlessness may lead to feelings of depression, anxiety or confusion. Sometimes this lack of meaning arises after a sudden change in our circumstances such as the loss of a job, the end of a relationship, or a bereavement. At other times, we may feel that over time our lives have drifted further and further away from what we’d hoped for ourselves. At times like these, speaking with a psychotherapist can help.

A time and space to enquire into your life and the issues affecting you. Psychoanalysis offers a chance to discover why our lives may differ from our expectations and how we might be able to do things differently.

As a therapist, I am committed to providing a compassionate and understanding environment for you to explore your unique experiences and how they have impacted your life. Whether you are seeking therapy to heal from past trauma, improve your mental health, explore your identities, or face ongoing challenges, I am here to offer a safe and supportive space for us to work on the issues that matter most to you. My aim is to empower you to find meaning in your history and to support you in achieving your goals.

I prefer to work in an integrative and flexible way as I don't believe in a one size fits all approach to therapy, you're an individual and so the way that we work together will be equally individual. Essentially this means that I will work with you to explore your problems and find emotional balance in your life. I believe that even if you are feeling the lowest you have ever felt things can get better and that you are absolutely able to make changes in your life.

Nice to meet you! I'm Cass. An integrative therapist based in South Yorkshire currently offering online, telephone and face to face sessions. 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.
