Susan Bowles MBACP (Accred)
Email meAbout me
I am an experienced BACP accredited counsellor and abide by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice. My training is Person-Centred and I offer a safe confidential space for my clients to explore whatever issue is prompting them to look for counselling support. Most of the time we cope with what life throws at us but at times it gets too much and we need someone outside of friends and family to talk to. That's my role. I have experience working with people from all walks of life including adults of all ages who suffer with Learning Disability with a wide range of issues. I don't offer a quick fix but together in a non judgemental, therapeutic environment we can help you to a better understanding of your circumstances and make changes that can lead to a more fulfilling life.
I also offer supervision to student and qualified counsellors.
