I am down to earth and easy-going and grateful for having extensive experience of working across multiple services: NHS primary care, secondary care, inpatient facilities (secure, acute and psychiatric intensive care units) and specialists child and adolescent services.
Are you not feeling like you are getting the most out of life and feel somewhat stuck in some way? Maybe you notice that your over-reacting with certain people or when in certain places or situations? Do you avoid doing certain things due to overwhelming feelings? Are you feeling unhelpful amounts of guilt/shame, feel unsafe in someway or out of control? If so, I can help you work through these by tailoring your sessions to your individual needs so that you learn about your self, start working towards your goal(s) and then start become self-sufficient with regard to what life throws at you.

In my private practice, I see clients who are struggling with anxiety, stress, or unresolved trauma. They need a safe, supportive space to explore their emotions and gain clarity. Their goal is to find peace, build resilience, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. They want to feel understood, validated, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives. As a counsellor, my role is to guide them through this journey, helping them achieve emotional well-being and a renewed sense of self.

Is your life not where you envisioned it to be? Did you expect it to look different? Therapy can help you build a life that aligns with your values and ultimately brings you happiness. Do you feel anxious, struggle with low self-esteem and setting boundaries? Do the demands of life and work seem overwhelming? Are you struggling with a recent diagnosis? Do you feel ‘stuck’ and that something needs to change? Making changes doesn’t have to be scary, it can be a 50-minute conversation once a week. Counselling is a conversation where you are truly listened to and understood without worry of interruption, judgment or criticism.

Hi, my name is Sue. Would you like to feel seen, heard, understood and accepted? Would you like to start gaining more insight into why you feel and think the way you do, and as a result move closer to mastering your emotions and finding peace? Would you like to say what you really think and feel in confidence without being judged? Would you like to improve your self esteem and move towards feeling more empowered? Do you feel overwhelmed, isolated and misunderstood? Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, constant negative thinking (coupled with feelings of fear and anger?) If so, maybe it’s time to talk in a safe space.

Counselling offers a safe confidential and non-judgemental space, accepting of who you are and what issues you bring. We are all individuals with individual needs and expectations, and we may deal with problems differently, that is why I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, expectations, and requirements. Throughout my personal and professional journey, I have found that speaking to someone who is unfamiliar to you and your environment is not only helpful but utterly beneficial to your overall well-being.

Unheard, misunderstood, confused, unsure, lost, desperate, feeling stuck, wanting to feel 'normal'. Any of these reasons and more can lead us to seek Counselling. I have been a therapist for 12 years, and practice in a Person-Centred way. What this means is, I truly believe when someone comes to see me they want to be listened to, not told it will be OK, or try this and do that. You have probably tried those things and still feel the same. What's needed is someone with the skill to help you navigate your feelings on a deeper level, to give you greater understanding of how you have come to feel the way you do.

As an integrative practitioner. I work from a person centred base, although additional training allows for me to draw on different tools and models depending on your needs. This allows for clients to reflect on what is happening to them and by making their own choices, consider alternative ways of doing things. I use psychological theory and research in therapeutic work to help clients with a variety of problems. These problems can include difficult life issues and mental health conditions. I have worked with clients across all ages, from 7yrs upward and beyond retirement, offering a service which is welcoming to all backgrounds.

Teen Counsellors

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
