Counselling & Therapy Services in Sheffield, UK | Private Therapy

Counselling is an often misunderstood form of therapy. When you come to see us, our Counsellors Private Therapy Clinic (Rather than one of the Psychologists or Psychotherapists), it won’t be to receive specific advice or instruction on what you should be doing to address your current situation. Counselors don’t offer evidenced-based Therapies like Psychologists and Psychotherapists, and for this reason, their fees are usually lower.

Counselling is a form of talk therapy where the focus is on opening up about your current life issues, but one in which you’re encouraged to do so in a way that allows you to come to your own realizations. The role of your Counsellor is to facilitate this process by asking the questions that help you peel away the layers of your issue so you can then address the underlying problem. In this sense, it’s very much a co-creative endeavor meant to empower you as the individual to take control of your own life.

It’s also important to point out that counselling is not a form of evidence-based therapy, in that, although it can certainly be of great benefit to you, it isn’t backed up by scientific research. If you would be more interested in a treatment that utilizes these kinds of techniques, we would recommend seeing one of our HCPC registered Psychologists or a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.
