Counselling in S11

I am a counsellor, psychotherapist and specialist in addictions of 31 years experience as a front-line practitioner working within the public sector. I can assist with a broad-spectrum of issues. I provide one to one counselling, couple and family therapy. I am experienced in working with adults of all ages and from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientation, and physical and mental ability. It is my belief evidenced from my work with a great many unique and wonderful persons that all of us have the innate ability to heal ourselves. I see my role as merely an assistant in this self-healing process.

Hello. I'm Dr Rachel Attfield, an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist. I have experience in working with people with a range of psychological issues. For over 10 years I have worked with people who are living with physical health conditions (including life limiting diagnoses). Such diagnoses can impact how someone feels emotionally and it can be important to think about the interaction between physical and mental health. In addition to this, I have experience working with a range of different presentations, including trauma, OCD , depression and people struggling to make the changes that they want in life.

I work with families, couples and individuals of all ages. I specialise in families where a child presents with an emotional, behavioural or mental health problem. This may include anxiety and low mood, emotional disregulation and attachment issues. I work with families with grown/adult/older children, grandparents and extended family. I have 23 years experience working with children and families in the NHS with a very broad range of complex issues. I offer a holistic approach to therapy, considering lifestyle, diet, exercise, spiritual beliefs, etc.

Hello, I'm Alex. I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist . I work predominantly in mental health services with people who have a number of difficult experiences (including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and emotion regulation). Although I'd be happy to discuss with you any presenting difficulties you may be experiencing.

If the time feels right, I invite you for the journey of discovery, healing and transformation. I have a passion for helping you gain clarity and overcome obstacles to living a balanced and fulfilling life. I work with people in a life crisis struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders and other compulsive behaviours. Multicultural counselling, helping with managing identity and diversity issues are also areas of my focus. I provide a safe, confidential and warm environment where we can explore your fears and challenges, and work towards accepting yourself and change.

Hello, Im Teri. I offer a relaxed counselling style and definitely no judgement. Im flexible in my approach so I can work with you in a way that suits you best. I can also give you immediate tools to help with anxiety, stress and overwhelm, low mood and also teach you relaxation techniques if you need help with any of those issues. I work to educate you too, so you know why this is happening and how to look out for the signs in the future. But sometimes we just need to download with no fix. I love what I do and even the hardest issues can still be helped with compassion, sensitivity and a little bit of humour thrown in.

I am an integrative psychotherapist and work with individuals aged 18+ for both short-term and open-ended therapy. People seek therapy for different reasons. Often it is because they feel stuck, stressed, overwhelmed or hurt. You might be struggling with a relationship, coping with stress or hoping to change a behaviour that is not working for you. When things are difficult, a psychotherapist can support you and help you to grow in whichever way is right for you. I won't tell you what to do, but I will support you to find a way forward for yourself. I am accredited by the UKCP and a member of the BACP.

Unhelpful thoughts and uncomfortable feelings are part of being human. Sometimes however, we can get stuck in a painful vicious cycle by reacting in unhelpful ways. This doesn’t mean we’re broken. If you’d like to learn new ways of responding to these thoughts and feelings then maybe I can help. I have a lot of experience assessing and treating a wide range of problems using CBT. I use a range of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and mindfulness tools to enhance and compliment traditional CBT. I find this approach extremely effective in helping people to recognise and break unhelpful patterns, overcome problems and prevent relapse.

After years of battling mental illness I decided to help others on their quest to better mental health. I do believe people can come back from mental illness or personal difficulties. I work in a way that provides a safe space where there is no judgement with the aim that people grow and realise that their personal ambitions are possible. One of the main things my clients report is that they are heard by myself in ways that are often hard to find. Being understood by another can be healing in itself. It is through the relationship that people can find themselves again and really embrace a better way of being.

Hi my work with children and young people has enabled me to adopt a common sense approach. I practise Integrative Counselling, that means I used 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.

Sometimes the confusion, intensity and pain of bereavement and loss can be deeply overwhelming. You might be struggling to come to terms with a recent bereavement or realise that you still need to process difficult emotions, like anger, guilt or anxiety, which are stemming from a loss that happened years ago. For others, your loss might be due to a relationship break up, linked to the grief which can result after losing an aspect of your health or triggered by an event. Whatever the cause, we all need to feel understood and accepted to help us make sense of what has happened so that we can rebuild our lives and feel better.

Hello I am Claire & I am a Counsellor based in Sheffield. My aim to help you to work through what you feel is holding you back, this may be a life event, relationship difficulty, or a sense of feeling that you are battling with yourself. I provide a supportive space where you can gain new perspectives & develop a route out of the difficulties at your own pace. This may be to reduce the struggle you have with your emotions or explore unhelpful patterns you notice in your life. You may be seeking to make a change or to work out what is preventing you from moving forward.

Are you afraid of going out? Do you worry about having a panic attack? Do people make you feel nervous? Do you drink too much in social situations? Do you get upset with people or do they get upset with you? Do you worry about job interviews or exams? Do you have problems maintaining relationships with friends, family or colleagues? Are you sometimes envious of other people’s abilities? For most people with anxiety a short course of regular sessions will help you take back control of your life and allow you to manage challenges and difficulties in a resourceful way.

Are you struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction (gambling, alcohol, substances), relationship issues or domestic violence, bereavement or loss, poor self confidence? These are issues that we all sometimes face, and I can help you resolve them through safe, confidential talking therapy. I'm committed to and passionate about helping clients explore and overcome issues and difficulties in their lives, in order to feel able to move towards a brighter future.

I am passionate about people and relationships. I offer commitment, transparency and experience to your therapy experience to support you to reach a place where you feel more content and in control of your life. My independent practice began in 1995, after having worked in other caring roles before I trained as a therapist. I have had many years of my own therapy and integrating my own developmental experience and therefore appreciate how difficult it can be to pick up the phone to embark on your own therapeutic trail. I therefore seek to make this as easy and as enjoyable as possible by offering you warmth, respect and love.

Welcome. Are you looking for change? Are you seeking a safe, private space to be truly heard and understood; to make sense of what governs your daily thoughts, feelings and behaviour? Perhaps you have lost a loved one, experienced a traumatic event, or are looking to understand who you are, how you relate to others and how you experience the world around you. Together by examining what is and what has been, you can unlock your true life potential.

My name is Rachael and I offer confidential counselling to individuals who wish to be heard in a safe, warm and friendly way. For me building a trusting relationship is at the heart of all that I do and practice. I care deeply that you will feel heard, accepted and understood during counselling with me. Whatever has brought you to counselling, I hope that we will be able to find a way to explore it and that I will be able to support you to move forwards in a way that is meaningful and empowering to you.

My years of experience as a GP in the NHS mean I understand what it is like to feel that you are running on empty, whether in your work or home life. You may feel low, anxious or troubled. Life might seem like you are wading through treacle. You may have experienced loss: of people, of relationships, of self esteem, of purpose, of security, of youth, of health, of a job… You may be going through change, or feeling the need for change. You neither want nor deserve a prescription for an off-the-peg answer.  My role as a counsellor is to collaborate with you to find your own bespoke answer to whatever brings you to therapy.

I explore women's issues in the context of their life, helping them be heard and find their own narrative and voice. I have experience in working with issues around conception, pregnancy and birth but also work women who are suffering with anxiety and depression relating to family/relationship/work difficulties. I also work with adults and students training or working in the NHS, doctors, nurses and other front line professionals. These sessions may include reflective practice, recovering from trauma and stress related issues.
