Counselling in S8

Hello! I am a Registered BACP MSc Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. Often we encounter difficult life events which can leave us feeling stuck, confused, and alone. Taking the brave step to engage with therapy can help you to explore suppressed feelings, unresolved issues, and past traumas in a safe space. Therapy can furthermore allow you to process life from a deeper cognitive level, improve emotional regulation, and re-establish psychological well-being. My professional aim is to empower, enlighten, and support individuals emotionally, psychologically, and physiologically to help heal mind and body.

I am an experienced UKCP registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor and an Executive Coach (in training with Tavistock Consultancy. I am also a published author, writing on a range of current issues with a particular focus on research informed practice. I have spaces available for individual psychotherapy, clinical supervision and coaching. My work background in public services (third sector, NHS and Higher Education) alongside my personal life experience and values informs my independent practice. I have developed particular expertise in supporting people around identity and sexuality, trauma and anxiety and depression.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist and have worked in mental health services in the NHS for over 10 years. I currently work in the NHS, in adult mental health services and I also work in private practice. As a Psychologist, I offer evidence-based assessments, formulation and psychological interventions for a wide range of difficulties, which might include; anxiety, depression, trauma, loss and relationship difficulties.

I have a deep trust in the healing capacity that a counselling relationship can provide. I believe each individual brings with them their own qualities & experiences, everyone is unique. Seeing beyond labels to the person, I recognize that it is the individual that knows themself best. I strive to build relationships in which clients say they feel empowered & listened to as I offer an attentive, understanding and accepting space. The nature of my counselling practice allows the individuals I work with to acquire compassion & gentleness for self, to develop healthy boundaries that allow personal growth and healing.

Hi, I am Dr Kerry Ware and I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist.

I am currently the lead for Breast Cancer Psychology in Sheffield where I offer specialist assessment, formulation and treatment of psychological distress in relation to having/having had breast cancer.

At times we may feel stuck in unhelpful, disconnected, and emotionally painful cycles in our relationships, or our job isn’t fulfilling us. Maybe we feel burdened with guilt and shame and find ourselves withdrawing from the people we love. Sometimes we don’t even realise we are suffering from our overwhelming experiences and have no idea how to start healing. We may feel anxious, irritable, sad and hopeless and have no idea why and start to believe that this is how life is. Physical symptoms of fatigue and pain may be plaguing our daily lives, creating debilitating difficulties to get through the day.

Hello, my name is Mick Dixon. I am a person-centred psychotherapist. I’m drawn to those concerns that we have regarding our meaning and purpose in the world that can touch us in unique and distinct ways: as melancholy, anxiety, loneliness, unnamed trauma, illness, inertia or as anger, self-criticism or feelings of powerlessness. I am also interested in the the correlation between the body and mental wellbeing and how our environments social, political, biological, physical, impact on us both bodily and psychologically.

Hi, I'm Charlotte and I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist working within the NHS and in private practice.

As a Psychologist, I offer a person-centred approach to individuals who may be looking for support with anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationship difficulties and so on. We begin by engaging in a period of assessment, coming to a shared understanding of your difficulties, and deciding how best to support you to move forward in a longlasting way that continues after therapy.

Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, grief, overwhelm or loss? Are these feelings getting in the way of you living your life? Is the uncertain nature of the world fueling your stress and anxiety or impacting on those that you care for? I specialize in three areas; working with clients processing bereavement and loss, working with clients who feel anxious and overwhelmed; often due to an unprocessed single traumatic event and working with young people in their twenties and early thirties often but not exclusively graduates, who are feeling low and anxious. I also provide monthly maintenance well being sessions.

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.

Hey There, Trauma can present as symptoms connected to nervous system disregulation, such as anxiety, depression, low mood, negative thinking, destructive behaviour, difficulty in experiencing emotion, lack of drive and enthusiasm, isolation, a lack of trust in others and a fear of connection or poor relationships, dissociative tendencies and hyper sensitivities. I work with cutting edge methods including Brainspotting and the SSP (safe sound protocol) (polyvagal theory) that are grounded in the most recent developments in neuro science and how we understand the impact of our early environment on our here and now adult experiences.
