About me
It is likely that recurring distress, anxiety, loneliness or overwhelm - perhaps even, desperation - has brought you here.
It can be really helpful to talk with someone who is not directly or personally involved in your life, and who can be relied on for emotional support without themself becoming overwhelmed or distressed by your experience.
I've been working as a counsellor/therapist for seventeen years with people from all walks of life. I have worked as a personal counsellor with trainee counsellors and trainee art therapists. I am qualified as a counselling supervisor.
These days, I tend to work with many of my clients remotely (on Zoom) as well as offering sessions face-to-face in a traditional clinical setting. My face-to-face sessions take place in therapy rooms in Sheffield S11 (less than a mile from Hunters Bar and Ecclesall Road).
Please also see my website, Viv Webb Counselling, for greater detail about the way I work and how we could work together.
