About me
Hello. My name is Sue Parnell and I'm an accredited counsellor with almost 40 years experience working with anxiety, depression, chronic illness, trauma, abuse, low self esteem, addiction, physical disabilities, phobias, alcohol dependency, substance misuse, neurodiversity and relationship problems to name just a few.
I'm a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in a Person-Centred way.
I will work with you to deepen your emotional awareness and together we will rebuild self-trust and discover new ways forward. We will focus on what matters most to you, so you can feel more grounded, understood and able to move towards healing.
I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions and am committed to regular professional development to maintain the quality and integrity of my practice.
I offer a calm space where you’re met with understanding and NO judgement.
If you have any questions or would like to book a session, please give me a call or send an email.

I would describe my work with as integrative, underpinned by the Humanistic, Person Centred theoretical orientation. I believe that individuals are the experts of themselves and my role is to provide a safe therapeutic environment where we can 'work together' in confidentiality. I conduct my sessions remotely; using video calls or telephone calls-whichever works best for you.
I have undergone additional training to work in these remote ways which is CPCAB approved. You can expect our therapy sessions to show respect, transparency, honesty and adherence to professional ethics and boundaries where no judgement will be made.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
