About me
If you often feel like you’re not good enough, like you're constantly trying to be in control, prove your worth, or fix the way you eat or look, you’re not alone.
I’m a qualified CBT therapist, and I support adults who feel stuck in cycles of low self-esteem, body image distress, and struggles with food. You might not meet a diagnostic label — and you don’t need to. If things feel overwhelming, exhausting, or all-consuming, that’s enough.
Together, we’ll look at the patterns that keep you feeling stuck; from critical thoughts and self-doubt to coping behaviours that no longer serve you. Using evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I’ll help you make sense of what’s going on and start building a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
My approach is warm, non-judgemental, and collaborative. You don’t need to have the perfect words—or even know exactly what’s wrong—to start therapy. I’ll meet you where you are.
I offer online sessions, and a free 20-minute consultation so we can see if we’re a good fit.
If you’re ready to chat or want to jump right in, just drop me a text or WhatsApp at 07359 229890. If emailing’s better for you, send one over to sue@culminationtherapy.com. Quick heads-up: my emails have a habit of hiding in spam or junk folders, so take a peek there if you haven’t heard back within 48 hours.
I am a GSRD (Gender, Sex & Relationship Diversity) affirmative therapist, and want to create an environment where my clients feel welcome and comfortable being their whole selves, which includes their gender expression, sexuality, and relationship style. Gender and sexuality might not be the reason you’re coming to therapy, but they are important parts of who you are and I understand how these aspects of your personhood can impact and shape your life. Therapy is not a place where you feel the need to watch what you say or educate your therapist about who you are. You can be yourself with me.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
