Heather Schofield

I work on Mondays and Tuesdays during the daytime.My availability is shown on my calendar which is under my photo on the Sheffield Central Counselling website

I am an Integrative Counsellor which means that I am relational, collaborative, and use various therapy theories as part of my work. This approach allows for flexibility in working with clients as unique individuals. Amongst other therapeutic disciplines, I draw upon Compassion Focused Therapy, which encourages having more deep compassion towards yourself, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on what is important to a person and encourages taking active steps towards building a rich quality of life.

I provide a confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, difficulties, values, hopes, and ambitions. I offer a welcoming and relaxed environment where we work with whatever you bring in a respectful and non- judgemental way. My clients have discovered more about themselves, improved their self care, had 'lightbulb moments,' grown in self awareness, and have explored if they would like to make any changes in their life.

I don't offer emergency or crisis support, for this please contact relevant helplines and medical assistance.

In our first session I will ask you to tell me why you have come for counselling and will ask you some questions that will help me to get to know you. It will also be a chance for you to ask any questions about the therapy process. If you would like to go ahead we can book some sessions in and then collaboratively decide when we could do some reviews about how it is going along the way.
