Hi, I'm Teri

A real person.
On your side.

Warm, honest and quietly in your corner. A space where you don't have to be anyone other than yourself.

I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Sheffield. I bring curiosity, compassion and a little humour to the conversations that matter most.

Counsellor. Psychotherapist. Human.

What matters to me

To feel understood.
To feel accepted.
To feel a little more like you.

These are the things I want our work to make room for. Not perfection, or a different version of you. A kinder connection with the person who's already there.

A quiet conversation with a notebook close byGood therapy begins with a human connection.

The path that brought me here

Experience with people.
Care for the whole person.

My approach has grown through 25 years in wellbeing and through listening to people at some of the hardest moments in their lives.

01

Supporting survivors at She-UK

My counselling placement supported adults who had experienced abuse as children. That work helped shape the care, patience and sensitivity I bring to therapy.

02

Alongside grief at St Luke's

Working with St Luke's bereavement team deepened my understanding of loss, and of how important it is to give each person's grief its own time and space.

03

A practice shaped around you

Today, I bring together person-centred therapy, CBT, somatic approaches, EFT and mindfulness. Our starting point is always your experience and what matters to you.

Care, grounded in learning

A thoughtful practice.
A solid foundation.

Training supports the work. Continuing to learn keeps it thoughtful, responsive and centred on the people I see.
