Monika Sobczak-Edmans

I am a fully qualified, experienced psychotherapist. I offer one-to-one talking therapy to adults who have a variety of concerns including stress, anxiety, bereavement, unsatisfactory relationships, sleep problems, depressive states, obsessional states, anger and traumatic experiences. My therapeutic approach  can also enhance the lives of people who experience a loss of meaning in their lives or those who are seeking a greater sense of fulfilment in life. In my practice, I abide by the BACP Code of Ethics. I offer some concessionary places.

I work in private practice in Sheffield offering both long and short term psychotherapy, face to face and remote work. I offer a safe and confidential treatment setting and seek to facilitate therapeutic progress towards healing and living a more fulfilling life. Therapy gives people in emotional distress a safe, trusting place to put into words their experiences; for each person therapy is usually needs adjusted to their individual needs anchored in psychological understanding. 

My initial consultation usually lasts up to an hour and a half and may lead to a second meeting of fifty minutes. This provides a space in which we can think together about what brought you to seek psychotherapy and to see whether we can work together. The initial session also provides an opportunity to ask me any questions you may have about the process and myself and to see whether in your view psychotherapy with me is the right step forward. From my side, I shall carefully consider your current situation, your past experiences, your specific areas of concern and your expectations and we can think and decide together whether psychodynamic psychotherapy is the right treatment choice for your present needs. These initial sessions carry no commitment—they're an opportunity for you to explore whether this type of therapy feels right for you and your needs.
