Suzy Polin - MBACP

Profile

People come to me with a very wide range of issues, in particular: depression, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting/childcare concerns, work-related difficulties, stress and concerns about weight, drugs or alcohol.

Sometimes painful events in the present, memories of the past or worries about the future may mean you cannot enjoy life or achieve your aims. Whatever difficulties you may have, I offer a confidential space to explore your feelings and concerns and will listen to them in a supportive and non-judgemental way.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I am a fully qualified counsellor having worked for many years within the NHS and in private practise. I have completed additional training and have extensive experience in working with adults who have suffered from childhood sexual/physical abuse.

I believe the psychodynamic approach to counselling is the most effective. This type of counselling enables individuals to understand how past experience and current behaviour may be linked. This can lead to greater self-awareness and insight, and aims to facilitate the person's own resources for change and resolution of difficulties.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to their code of ethics and practice.

Fees

Intially I offer an introductory session, lasting up to an hour, to discuss your needs and what you can expect from counselling. This gives you a chance to meet me and decide whether counselling is appropriate for you. If we decided to continue, we can agree to meet at a regular time each week for 50 minutes.

Each session costs £25-£40, although some concessions are available which can be discussed at the first appointment.
