About Sujarda
Sujarda Herring is a counsellor originally from Newcastle now practising in Scotland. She holds NCPS and has five years of professional experience. Sujarda offers a calm, listening approach for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, career questions and issues around identity and self‑esteem.
She works in a way that considers thoughts, feelings and the body. Sessions begin by agreeing what the person wants to achieve and then focus on small, practical steps. Sujarda uses gentle conversation, reflection and focused exercises to help people notice different choices and responses.
Sujarda offers both in‑person work from her private practice in Edinburgh and online sessions for people across the UK. In session she explains options, and people can choose how long they want to meet. Follow‑up worksheets and messages are available between meetings for extra support.
Her approach draws on client‑centred listening alongside mindfulness and solution‑focused ways of working. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are also part of the mix when people feel they might help. The emphasis is on helping people find manageable steps forward, not on quick fixes.
People come to Sujarda with a wide range of concerns including trauma and bereavement, parenting stresses, chronic illness, body image and ageing worries. She aims to make the process straightforward and practical, so people can fit it into busy lives and keep working toward clearer thinking and steadier coping.
How these approaches work for online sessions
Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening with attention and respect. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them talk through what matters and notice new ways to respond. This approach is useful for people wanting a steady, non‑directive space to explore feelings.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and anxiety. It helps people notice thoughts and bodily responses so they can make calmer choices in daily life. Solution‑focused therapy looks for small, practical steps that move someone toward their goals and is useful when people want clear short‑term changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which method or combination fits their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and as issues change over time.
The original biography notes that Sujarda offers online sessions for people across the UK and in‑person work from her Edinburgh practice. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, reducing travel and allowing follow‑up worksheets or messages between meetings to continue progress.
