Outstanding Therapy in Sheffield

I deeply care about offering outstanding therapy. This means that I see my role as being to provide what you need to change, and to understand yourself better. What this means in practice changes from person to person, but I believe that I have done the work on myself to give space in the room for my client to explore what they need to. I am not rushing in, trying to resolve my own issues with my you. Nor will I give ill informed opinions on what you should do. I hope that I welcome everything that my clients bring without judgement or trying to solve their issues. Through truly being heard, and cared for without condition then we can grow.

​

My background is in social work and therapeutic pastoral care. Over the past few decades, I have worked in community mental health, family support and education, supporting adults, young people and families through experiences of trauma, anxiety, loss, relationship difficulties and suicidality. These years of work have shaped me both as a person, and as a therapist. I genuinely believe that good therapy is the means by which we change most effectively.

​​

I work with people experiencing anxiety, low mood, burnout, trauma, relationship challenges or suicidal thoughts. For some, these experiences can be hard to put into words. Sometimes language can fail to convey everything we want to. One of my favourite musicians is Sufjan Stevens, and he describes words as being 'futile devices', and I think that can sometimes be true. When that happens, I improvise music to convey and experience those feelings and thoughts together. 

​​

I offer a free 30 minute session, which you can book directly below, or you are very welcome to email me. I can sometimes fit introductory sessions in gaps that aren't on my online calendar, so if you are interested but can't see a time that works for you, do get in touch anyway. Even if I am full, I will take the time to speak with you and recommend some other excellent therapists that I know that may well availability for you. I am passionate about people receiving the best therapy.

​

I offer sessions on the following days and times with long breaks in between sessions:

Tuesday between 7:45am and 8pm

Wednesday between 9am and 3pm

Thursday between 10:30am and 8pm

Friday (online only) between 9:15am and 2pm
