About Therapy in Sheffield – Jen Ayling

I am a full clinical member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), accredited as a Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I have expertise in working with trauma and a socially-engaged, holistic approach. 

As a therapist, I am passionately interested in how health and well-being is influenced by our environment and the social relationships in our lives. Whatever brings you to therapy, I aim to be sensitive to this wider context:  the physical, cultural and social landscape which forms the backdrop of our journey together.

In addition to seeing private clients, I work as a counsellor at Sheffield Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (SRASAC), supporting women and men who have experienced trauma and abuse. I previously worked as a volunteer trauma counsellor at Saffron Sheffield, and completed a clinical placement at the Lincoln Trauma Centre. As such, I have expertise in supporting people who live with the lasting effects of traumatic events, including PTSD and complex trauma – as well as working with a wide range of other issues.

I’m also a qualified mental health trainer/educator and workshop facilitator. Since 2007 I have designed and delivered workshops for a range of charities including Mind, Rethink, NIACE and the NHS.

How Can I help?

Whilst I work with clients on a wide range of issues I have a particular interest and expertise in supporting people with:

  • Depression, anxiety and other mental health difficulties.
  • Relationship problems.
  • Work Stress.
  • Sexual, physical and emotional abuse.
  • Sleep difficulties & chronic insomnia.
  • Adjusting to life transitions or major changes – e.g. divorce, bereavement, chronic illness.
  • Self-harm and compulsive behaviour.
  • Dissociative experiences.
  • Inner critical voices.
  • Confusion over identity and sense of self.
  • Experiences of aloneness, loneliness and solitude.
  • Voice hearing, visions and similar sensory experiences.
  • Living as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).

I am based in the Nether Edge (S7) area of Sheffield, in a dedicated therapeutic space which is comfortable, spacious and private. I also offer online/phone therapy to people outside of Sheffield or who prefer those formats.

I work exclusively with adults on a 1-1 basis, and currently do not offer psychotherapy for children/teenagers, couples or families.

I am fully insured, DBS cleared, and my UKCP Membership No. is 2011165394.
