UKCP has moved to York House, 221 Pentonville Road, London N1 9UZ. We are updating the address listed in all our documents, please bear with us as we make these changes.
I offer conversations about the relationships within the family, community and wider systems and build on the strengths and resources within these systems to help children, adults and families. I aim to be collaborative by working together with the family on their goals and by harnessing their strengths. I engage with diversity and difference including gender, race, religion and ability. I seek to empower the family and boost the confidence and hope of its members and work collaboratively to create safe and empowering therapeutic relationships.
I offer limited private work at a therapy centre in Sheffield and online. I offer face to face work for adults, children and families in Sheffield and surrounding region and I can offer online work nationally.
I can work with different combinations of family members according to who they would like to participate and the goals. I offer a safe, confidential, accepting and positive space for families to talk and express emotions and explore the individual needs of family members. I understand that not everyone finds talking easy so we can adapt sessions, for example by using drawing or play. In my past work I have formed trusting and supportive relationships with families which they have appreciated.
I offer an informal conversation about how we might work together and an assessment of the situation. We can discuss sessions which are most likely to be helpful, which family members/ persons to involve, the frequency of sessions and will review our work at agreed intervals with reference to the family’s goals. Therapies I offer include
Systemic family therapy
Narrative, Solution-Focused, Strengths- based and Collaborative approaches.
Hello, my name is Terry Duffin. I am a white, British man based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK. I qualified as a systemic Family Therapist in 2015. During my career I have worked extensively with children, adults, parents and carers.
I worked as a residential and field social worker with children and families from 1988 until 1996 then for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) as a clinical Social Worker, Primary Mental Health Worker and Family Therapist from 1996 until 2023. I aim to work alongside families to find ways forward for their child/ young person and family. This involves understanding family relationships, individual members’ needs and other contexts such as school. I have worked with mental health difficulties including anxiety, ADHD, autism, depression, self-harm, attachment difficulties, school difficulties, bereavement and eating problems and how these affect children, adults and their families.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
