About me

Thank you for visiting my page. I am Sue Munday, a Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway. I work with children, young people, and adults of all ages.

Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of ups and downs, where challenges seem to continually resurface? Does life sometimes feel chaotic and overwhelming; do your emotions, if you can feel them, confuse or upset you. If you are grappling with life's challenges, I am here to help you navigate your complex feelings, thoughts, and emotions.

Through psychodynamic exploration, we can untangle the threads of your past to uncover outdated messages, defenses, or coping mechanisms that might be hindering your progress. By understanding how your past influences your present, often seen in unhealthy repeated patterns of behaviour, we can work towards creating a more fulfilling future. If you find yourself projecting your past onto your future and yearn for change, we can address this together.

I offer face-to-face counselling sessions, as well as phone and secure online sessions via Google Meet, catering to individuals of all ages—from children to the elderly. As a member of COSCA, I adhere to their Code of Ethics, ensuring a professional and confidential environment.

With over twenty years of experience supporting individuals of various ages and backgrounds, I have cultivated a deep understanding of human needs and complexities. My journey began in art college, but my true passion lies in helping people achieve their fullest potential. My professional path led me to work with adults with additional support needs and later with young people at a mental health charity, ultimately inspiring me to pursue counselling.

Embarking on counselling may feel intimidating at first, but it can quickly become a sanctuary—a space where you can breathe freely amidst life's chaos. It is a confidential haven where you can express yourself openly, knowing you will not be judged. My goal is to help you move from merely surviving to truly thriving.

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
