About me
Not enjoying life? or finding your feelings difficult to manage?
Help from a capable counsellor can help untangle the problem and learn new skills.
Sue is a qualified counsellor with over 30 years experience sitting alongside couples and individuals. She trained and worked with Relate and expanded her private practice into working in local G.Ps surgeries. Using her skills and knowledge to explore the things that unsettle clients, Sue helps find the answers and insights that work for you. Going at your own pace, you will be offered a warm, non-judgemental and confidential space, working with the things that don't feel right, and discovering ways to resolve them.
Our first meeting will be for us to learn about each other and to see if we are comfortable working together. We will arrange regular sessions, that last approx. 60 minutes. The work is open ended basis and there are regular reviews. Sometimes 1 session is enough, sometimes more.
When we meet you'll have a quiet, warm and confidential space to share the things that are important to you; the things you want to change, the steps that led you to now and how they can be different for you when moving on. Always at your pace, on your own or with your partner.

For me the process of being in front of a therapist was a mixture of fascination and insight, that changed aspects of my life. I had experienced a crisis and was supported through it by a compassionate and capable counsellor. Having realised the impact counselling could make I trained.
Counselling is not a cure all , but when it works it changes lives.
I work to the National Counselling Society's code of ethics.
