Sujarda Herring

Sujarda Herring is an integrative counsellor and holistic therapist working from Scotland with roots in Newcastle. She uses a broad approach to support people through grief, major life changes, trauma and everyday stresses. Sujarda holds an NCPS credential and draws on five years of practice to help people talk things through and find new ways to cope.

She offers a calm, down-to-earth setting where conversation leads the work. Sessions are built around what the person needs in the moment, whether that is reflecting on feelings, learning coping strategies, or exploring difficult memories. Sujarda aims to balance emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of wellbeing as they arise.

In therapy she helps people with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. Other areas she supports include bereavement, caregiver stress, chronic illness and issues linked to ageing and body image. She also works with people facing career questions, parenting pressures and anger.

Sujarda uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. That can include client-centred listening, mindfulness practices, solution-focused planning, motivational interviewing and hypnotherapy techniques where appropriate. The focus is on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels or tests.

Her practice includes face-to-face work in Edinburgh alongside online support for people elsewhere in the UK. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions based on availability.

How Sujarda’s approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and emotional confusion.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the mind and reduce stress. It can be useful for sleep problems, persistent worry and coping with chronic illness. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals so people can see progress between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit those aims. Plans can change as progress is made, and different techniques may be tried to see what helps best.

Many people find online sessions more convenient for fitting therapy into busy lives, such as shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work or avoiding travel time. The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking, as options can vary; confirm current session choices when you arrange your first appointment. Online work still centres on clear conversation, practical tools and the same therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face sessions.
