Sujarda Herring, NCPS

Sujarda Herring works as a counsellor and holistic therapist in Scotland. She trained to practise using an integrative approach and holds NCPS as a credential. She supports people through major life changes, grief, trauma and everyday worries, and she offers time to talk things through without judgement.

Sujarda describes counselling as a simple, steady process. Sessions begin with the client choosing how long they want to meet. Then she listens, asks questions and helps people spot patterns that get in the way of feeling better.

Her approach covers emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual perspectives. That means conversations might look at thoughts, body sensations, values and practical routines. Worksheets and messages between sessions are used when helpful to keep progress moving.

Sujarda works from a private practice in central Edinburgh called Space to Tame and also supports people around the UK with online therapy. She aims to make the first steps straightforward and to help people feel understood quickly.

People often come for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, relationship and family difficulties, or for support with sleep and parenting strains. She also offers support for bereavement, trauma and older-age worries. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Sessions are practical and conversation-led, with scope for quieter reflective techniques when useful. Sujarda encourages small, manageable changes and helps people build ways of coping that fit day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Sujarda draws on client-centred work to prioritise the person's own experience and pace; that means sessions focus on listening, reflecting and following what matters to the client. Client-centred work helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of big life changes.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and body sensations without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems and coping with bereavement by teaching short, practical ways to calm the body and mind.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and she treats it as a collaboration. Together they review what helps, try different techniques and adjust the plan based on your goals and preferences. The aim is to build a way of working that fits each person's life and aims.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are listed only where the therapist has specified them. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow follow-up with worksheets or messages between meetings. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep momentum while juggling work, family and other commitments.
