Sue Aspinall
About me
I'm a fully qualified EMDR therapist, counsellor/ psychotherapist (& supervisor). I have worked in the NHS and private practice for over 15 years offering both therapy and supervision. I've completed additional training in other models of therapy including C.B.T. and interpersonal psychotherapy, this means that I can adapt the way I work to suit you, depending on your needs and your personality. I provide a comfortable and confidential space in Wilsden, Bradford. I have experience and training to work with a wide variety of people and a wide variety of difficulties. I feel passionately about counselling. I have seen how powerful it can be both personally and professionally. I feel privileged to work in this area and to be alongside people as they start to move towards a more positive phase of their lives.
Please contact me, either to arrange an initial appointment or to ask more. I'm happy to arrange a time to speak on the phone (free of charge) if you'd feel more comfortable talking in person before deciding if you want to go ahead or not.
I'm not able to answer my phone often, but if you leave a text or voice message or send me and email, I will respond promptly.
I also offer a free short phone conversation so you can ask any questions, or just get a sense of what I'm like. This may help you decide if I'm the right person for you before you make an appointment. No pressure guaranteed!
