Counselling in York
Having worked in the NHS for over fifteen years; I specialise in Psychiatric care and Neurodiversity. As a Neurodivergent therapist, I have found from practice and my research, which evidences Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy; strong therapeutic alliance with my patients; there's reassurance, safety and a sense of belonging when working with someone who actually gets you! I have worked hard to ensure therapy caters to and adapts to our brains! Techniques such as eye contact, open questions, long silences, often made me and my patients want to run away, perpetuating a belief of hopelessness and helplessness.

Whether you are struggling with a life event or you carry unhelpful patterns from the past, I would like to help you manage the present more to your satisfaction. I will listen and try to understand what life is like for you. If you feel that you are not good enough and that your low self-esteem is impacting on your choices and the view of yourself, life can be hard. Experiencing problems in important relationships in your life, or struggling to connect with people, can make you feel isolated. Talking to somebody could be the first helpful step.

I work with children and young people, specialising in anxiety and OCD. I help them learn new skills and attitudes to improve their ability to handle difficult thoughts and feelings and do more of what matters to them and make more room for connection. Mental health challenges encroach on their lives, make them avoid and make their world smaller. They disconnect from themselves, the things they care about and the people that matter to them. They underestimate their strengths and resources, overestimate life’s challenges and get stuck.

I'm Sue, a counsellor and psychotherapist working online across the UK to give you the flexibility to meet from your own home or chosen safe place. Have you recently received an ADHD diagnosis and are unsure how to proceed? Living with feelings of difference can leave you with scars, bruises and difficult ideas of self worth. You may be frustrated with some challenges that you don't seem to be able to overcome; you may be carrying criticism and rejection and 'failures' which make it difficult to find a way forward. You may have talents which you struggle to fully use or projects you struggle to complete.

I offer woman-centred, personalised and sensitive support for women who have or are experiencing infertility, miscarriage, a difficult pregnancy, late term loss, a traumatic birth or traumatic postnatal period. The deep emotional wound from these experiences can lead to a downward spiral that impairs your thinking, ability to feel truly happy and live at peace in the moment. But this is not permanent and I can work with you to recover from anxiety, low mood and depression, trauma symptoms, feeling stuck, overwhelm, emotional outbursts or imbalances and relationship struggles with your yourself, partner, child or family.

Whatever your reasons for seeking counselling, I can offer you a collaborative, non-judgemental space to talk, make sense of your experience and find ways to move forward. As a Humanistic counsellor, it is my belief that everybody has within them the capacity for self-awareness, healing and growth. However, life can sometimes throw obstacles at us which cause us to feel stuck - making it hard for us to feel hope or to have any clear sense of direction. Within my practice, I aim to develop a strong therapeutic relationship in which we can explore and navigate our way through your experience together, at your own pace.

As a person-centred therapist, I provide a safe and supportive environment to help individuals and couples to navigate a range of emotional and psychological challenges. These include bereavement, domestic violence, menopause issues, couples’ relationship difficulties, and trauma including birth trauma. Clients want to feel empowered so that they can heal and grow. They will do so if they are fully accepted, their dignity is respected, and they are understood. This is my approach.

Deciding to have therapy for the first time, returning to therapy after taking a break or changing therapists can be a scary decision. I believe finding the right therapist who you feel connected to whilst also being able to provide what it is that you are looking for is vital to the work. I aim to provide a space for you to speak freely without judgment or fear. Where you can trust in the relationship to explore what we are sometimes afraid to stay out loud. My non-judgmental approach ensures that you feel safe & supported in your journey towards making sense of things to find a way forward.
