About me
Welcome! I'm Susan, an accredited therapeutic counsellor working with adults in Gloucestershire, face to face and online.
People come to counselling for many reasons, at all ages and stages of their lives. Sometimes for a specific reason like anxiety, sometimes because they just feel "off" or lost.
I can support you with family and relationship issues, feeling depressed or low, anxiety, panic attacks, and periods when life feels overwhelming. We can explore what is happening for you at your own pace, helping you understand your experiences and find ways to feel more able to cope.
I also work with people whose early years were difficult or unsettled, including those who were adopted. Experiences from childhood can stay with us, and making sense of them can change how things feel now.
I offer a free 20-minute chat, so you can tell me a little about what's going on and we can see if I'm the right person to help. There's no obligation, so feel free to book when you're ready.
I see the relationship we build together as a vital part of the work. I focus on being present with you, truly listening, and creating a space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and experiences. It's about us working together as people, not just as counsellor and client, to help you feel more like yourself again.

Additional information
I offer a free 20-minute phone call to help you decide if my approach to counselling is right for you.
It’s a relaxed, no obligation chat where you can tell me a bit about what’s brought you here.
If it feels like a good fit, we’ll go from there and arrange our first session.
Feel free to reach out, when you are ready.
