Sue Brown

Whilst deliberating when to have counselling, you have mustered a significant amount of courage, as it can be a frightening experience. It is important you are listened to, offered compassion, confidentiality, sessions offering openness, a space to explore emotions and a space to seek clarity within oneself.

I am interested in what you have to say by offering all the above and much more within sessions. I believe each client has their own story to explore or discover by uncovering different areas of your life. This could include venturing into various aspects of your personal or professional lives, with a therapist who is trustworthy, empathetic and is available during challenging times.

I offer two different services – Integrative Counselling or Personal Therapy (A combination of Counselling and Coaching). I have experience supporting working adults and young people who have been diagnosed with a range of neuro diversity, anxiety and stress related issues and much more. I am also a proud dyslexic Counsellor and Coach, I am also a parent of neuro-diverse people and understand some of the difficulties they have to experience on daily basis.

With over 20 years’ experience in various personal and professional positions, I have collaborated with clients from disadvantaged communities, including the Black and Brown communities. It became clear there are few emotional outlets to address discrimination, there seems to be a lack of diversity within organisations or the community. Having personally experienced discrimination, I have knowledge of how discrimination can affect most areas of your life including family and friends. It can be an isolating experience and can result in work related stress. As a result, of a lack of vision to address the emotional impact, I have created and deliver an online six-week programme which addresses the Impact of workplace discrimination.

In addition, after seeing and experiencing workplace discrimination, I created an emotional well-being programme which addresses the impact of workplace discrimination. This is an online six weekly programme which allows clients to take part in a safe and confidential space. Here they can share similar experiences and find resolutions because of the discrimination and begin their personal journeys of self-worth. Apart from the programme, I have supported individuals who have seen their family’s experiencing racism, including young people. Using my coaching skills have supported parents and individuals to address this particularly challenging issue.

After a request has been made through Counselling Directory, I will request a brief telephone discussion (via email or telephone) and book a time and date. This discussion will be no more than 10-15 mins and we will set a consultation date (Either online or face to face). I will send you a medical and agreement document for you to read and return prior to your consultation appointment. 

My premises is based in quiet residential area with free parking available outside.  During the consultation, you will be seated in a quiet room and I undertake an assessment, also to give you the opportunity to ask me as much questions as you like about the service.  We will discuss, what type of service, amount and frequency of the sessions available.
