Abby Sarkar (she/her)

I am a BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist.  I have been in practice for several years, with a background in psychology and have many years of experience of working within education in mental health roles. Alongside my practice as a psychotherapist, I also work with university students as a specialist mentor and have a passion for supporting people who identify as neurodivergent. 

I work integratively and will adapt my approach depending on your needs. I work from a person-centred/relational core but am also influenced by a number of other approaches such as mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy and existentialism.  From both professional and personal experience, I know how powerful and transformative a good therapeutic relationship can be. We can use our first meeting to see what you want out of therapy and how we can work together.

I work from Bank Street on Thursdays.

I am a state-regulated HCPC-registered art psychotherapist and qualified EMDR practitioner. I can provide art psychotherapy or EMDR separately, or offer them together as a combined approach.  I’ve been providing therapy for more than 15 years with an approach that is relatable, humanistic, psychodynamic and socially engaged.  I aim to create spaces where trauma and adversity can be explored, and overcome.

As an art therapist, imagination and creativity are a central part of my work and help my clients open up new ways of thinking and discover opportunities to move forward in their lives.

I am a HCPC registered Art Psychotherapist. I have an open private practice, offered both in-person and online. In addition to my art therapy practice, I mentor university students in managing complex mental health issues, neurodiverse conditions and navigating barriers through weekly one-to-one sessions.

I have a holistic, person-centred approach that celebrates difference and individuality. I strive to create a safe space of understanding, authenticity and trust to process trauma and life’s challenges, past and present. I aim to empower clients to be the experts in their own unique mental health journey, and use strengths-based approaches to gently guide towards building a more positive sense of self.
​
I provide face-to-face therapy at Bank Street on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Fiona Hutchings (she/her)

email: [email protected]

I am a BACP accredited person-centred psychotherapist. I have been working with clients for over 15 years.  I work with clients aged 11+ and provide sessions either face to face or online on Tuesdays at Bank Street. I also offer online sessions on Thursdays.
​
I'm committed to maintaining a safe and ethical practice, working alongside clients in a collaborative and creative way to help them explore their difficulties in a way that feels right for them.  I am queer, my pronouns are she/her and I'm a trans affirming, disabled, and neurodivergent counsellor. 

I’ve worked with children, young people and adults at The Apple Tree Centre between 2016-and 2025,  alongside my own caseload of private clients. I previously worked with students at Sheffield Uni counselling service and as a volunteer for 4 years at Share Psychotherapy.

Laura Woodhouse (they/them)

email: [email protected]

I'm a queer person-centred and experiential therapist. I offer a space to connect with yourself, explore your problems and process what you've been through — at your own pace and with someone who cares by your side. My aim is to create a therapeutic relationship in which you feel heard, valued and trusted, so that you can hear, value and trust yourself in return. I want you to leave therapy feeling empowered and better able to address the challenges you face. I welcome clients from all walks of life and adjust my practice to your needs.

​I've worked at Mind and in the NHS supporting people to explore their identity, address anxiety and depression, work through relationship problems and begin to heal from abuse. My approach takes into account the impact of traumatic life experiences and discrimination (e.g. racism or transphobia) on our mind, body, sense of self and relationships with others.

By focusing on how you see yourself and your problems, I can support you to cope and move forward in ways that are right for you. You can read more about me and my approach on my website.

I work from Bank Street on Mondays and Tuesdays. I also offer online and telephone sessions.

Kasia Stefanow (she/her)

contact form: www.kasiastefanow.com/enquiry-form

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure of themselves, and I aim to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, uncertainty about your identity or a sense of disconnection, I offer a steady, compassionate space to explore what you need. Together, we slow things down, listen closely to your experience and work at a pace that feels safe for you.
My approach is responsive and collaborative. I pay attention not only to what you say, but to how you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and what you’ve learned to carry alone. By drawing on psychodynamic, somatic, mindfulness, and compassion-based practices, I support you in understanding your patterns, regulating your emotions, and building a kinder, more trusting relationship with yourself.
Over time, therapy can help you feel more grounded and capable, less ruled by anxiety or self-doubt, and more connected to who you are and what matters to you. Many people find they develop clearer boundaries, stronger inner stability, and a deeper sense of self-worth. My aim is for you to leave therapy with greater confidence in your own choices and the resilience to navigate life’s challenges.

You can read more about me and my approach on my website.

I work from Bank Street on Monday and Wednesday and have capacity on other days of the week. I also offer online sessions.

I am an integrative therapist registered with the BACP. To me, working integratively means to adapt to the context and needs of the person in the room, whilst being grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship. My approach draws from person centred, existential and psychodynamic theory among others, and I aim to meet each person where they are at in their process.

Previously to working at Bank Street I have worked at Sheffield Mind, within the NHS and in the charity sector both in the UK and in Austria. I am able to offer counselling in both English and German.

While I don't narrow to any particular client base, I find that many of the people I work with are, like me, queer, neurodivergent and disabled. I do my best to make my practice accessible and to cultivate a space of safety and sensitivity to cultural diversity and intersectionality.

I work from Bank Street on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. ​​
