About Sujarda
Sujarda Herring is a counsellor based in Scotland with five years of practice. She trained with the NCPS and offers conversational, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Sujarda aims to make sessions straightforward and approachable for someone who is nervous about counselling.
She takes an integrative, whole-person view that looks at thoughts, feelings and physical responses. Sessions often begin by talking about what matters most to the client and then setting simple, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sujarda mixes talking therapy with guided techniques to help people manage symptoms and make day-to-day life easier. Clients come to her with a wide range of concerns including trauma and bereavement, relationship problems, parenting strain, work and career worries, and issues related to body image or chronic illness. She also supports people dealing with grief, sleeping difficulties, anger and commitment worries.
Her approach adapts to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. Online options are available alongside in-person work at her independent practice in Edinburgh. Sessions can be video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging, and Sujarda can offer worksheets and follow-up messages between meetings.
This makes it easier to continue progress when life gets busy. In early sessions she and the client agree what to focus on and how to measure progress. The work is collaborative and paced to the client's needs, with practical steps and reflective conversation used together to build coping skills and clearer thinking.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person to find their own answers; it suits people who want a non-judgemental space to talk and gain perspective. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple exercises in attention and breathing that help reduce anxiety and improve sleep, and these can be practised during or between sessions. Motivational Interviewing uses curious, goal-focused conversation to help people clarify what they want to change and to build commitment to small steps forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sujarda will discuss what feels helpful and try techniques to see what fits. The plan evolves with the person’s needs, goals and preferences so the therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible around life commitments. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit shorter check-ins or written reflection. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, and they make it easier to keep momentum between meetings.
