What is Private Therapy?

Private therapy (or private counselling) is mental health support that you arrange and pay for yourself, rather than accessing it through the NHS or another public service. Contact us directly, and we'll find a time that works for you.

Private therapy usually includes:

• One-to-one sessions with qualified, experienced and accredited therapists

• An agreed session length and schedule

• Working with the same therapist throughout

• Confidential support within professional guidelines
  
  

Sessions are available in person, by video, or over the phone, whichever feels right for you.

How Private Therapy at Sheffield Mind Works

Starting therapy doesn’t need to feel complicated.

Initial conversation

You don't need to have it all figured out before you call us. We start with a relaxed, informal conversation about what's been going on and what you're hoping to get from therapy.

Regular sessions

Sessions usually last around 60 minutes and typically take place weekly, although we can agree on a schedule that works for you.

Confidential support

All sessions take place in a safe, private setting. What you share remains confidential within professional and ethical guidelines.

Ongoing review

Therapy is a collaborative process. You and your therapist will regularly reflect on how things are going and adjust the focus as your needs change.

One-to-One Counselling in Sheffield

One-to-one counselling is exactly that, just you and your therapist. A private, consistent space that's entirely yours.
