Welcome

Ciaran Hurley

I offer online counselling and psychotherapy for adults. I’m able to work with a range of issues including gender, sex & relationship diversity, anxiety and depression, changes in health, loss & bereavement and life changes.

I use a range of techniques including the person-centred approach, parts of self, creative methods, existential therapy and non-directive methods.

I’m a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and I’m happy to discuss my qualifications and training on request. 

I’ve been an adult nurse and a lecturer in nursing at both of the universities in Sheffield.

I work mostly in Sheffield (South Yorkshire) and I practice in other areas of the UK, so if you’ve found my card in a different area, I might be available for short-term therapy in-person. Please send an enquiry for details.

Therapy

I offer support with a range of issues. If you would like to discuss something not listed, please get in touch.

Depression

Depression is an illness that involves your body, mood, and thoughts. Therapy can help to identify and explore the causes and effects of depression, and find a way out of it.

Life Transitions

Life transitions are periods in life involving lots of change to your lifestyle. Examples include changing or leaving your school, going to university, starting or leaving a job, beginning or ending a relationship.

Gender, Sex & sexuality

Our romantic and sexual relationships can sometimes be a source of stress and difficulty, especially if important people in our lives have difficulty with our gender or sexuality. Therapy can help to explore and resolve these issues.

My practice is informed by version 2 of the UK Memorandum of Understanding on Conversion Therapy.

Changes in your health

Our health can change unexpectedly and the effects of long-term health problems can make others changes complicated. Therapy can help you to adjust and change your behaviour or your attitude towards your health.

Anxiety

Sometimes the future can seem frightening or uncertain. If you find that these fears are getting in the way of you doing things that you need to, or that you’d enjoy if you could, I can help you to overcome the fears.

grief, Bereavement & loss

The effects of losing someone or something that’s important to us can seem devastating. Whether it’s someone who’s died (or is no longer part of your life), a job, a pet or a valuable object, I can help you learn to survive the feelings that loss leaves behind.

My availability

I don’t have any appointments available at this time and my waiting list is full.
