About me
You may feel alone or overwhelmed or desperate, even though you have people around you who love you and care about your wellbeing.
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 fifteen years with people from all walks of life. I have worked as a personal counsellor with trainee counsellors and trainee art therapists. I am also qualified as a counselling supervisor.
These days, I tend to work with many of my clients remotely (via Zoom) as well as offering sessions face-to-face in a traditional clinical setting. My face-to-face sessions take place at the Therapy Works on Sharrow Lane S11 (two miles southwest of Sheffield city centre and 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.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I welcome enquiries from couples, friends and family members who want to improve their communication with each other.
I am interested in the ways we - as individuals and as a society - parent our children and support them into adulthood. I'm keen to support adults and/or young adults within families with their parent/child, parent/young adult or sibling communication.
I also welcome enquiries from trainee counsellors and trainee art therapists.
Please feel free to talk to me about anything that causes you distress or concern - whether or not it's included in the above list.
