About Sujarda

Sujarda Herring is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, trauma and major life changes. Sessions also cover career concerns, sleep problems, anger, LGBT issues and family difficulties.

Sujarda describes her work as integrative. She uses a mixture of talking therapy and practical tools to address thoughts, feelings and everyday routines. People can expect straightforward conversation and options to try mindfulness or solution-focused skills when helpful.

She offers online support to people around the UK and runs a private practice in Edinburgh called Space to Tame. Sessions can include worksheets and messages between meetings where that is useful. The profile notes a variety of session lengths are possible so people can choose what fits.

In sessions Sujarda starts by listening to the immediate concern and what the person hopes to change. She then works collaboratively to identify small, manageable steps and different ways of looking at a problem. That might mean practising grounding or breathing, testing a different reaction, or planning short exercises to try between meetings.

Her background blends client-centred listening with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. She also offers hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing as part of the mix. The overall aim is practical: to help people find clearer thinking and steadier routines for coping at home and at work.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflecting what they say and helping them make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. This approach is useful for people who need a calm space to untangle family tensions or parenting stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with sleep, anxiety and persistent worry. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and goals to change routines and reduce conflict at home or work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the person to try techniques and see what fits their needs and preferences. That means approaches can be adjusted over time, and practical tasks or worksheets may be suggested between meetings.

The biography indicates online support is offered but does not list every session format here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around family and work commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of conversation, guided exercises and written materials to help people put new habits into practice.
