About me
Hello. I'm Sue and I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist working online across the UK.
I offer online counselling to give you the flexibility to meet from your own home or chosen safe place.
I have particular specialism in working with adults with ADHD. If you have recently received an ADHD diagnosis or you suspect that you may have an ADHD type mind it's likely that you are unsure what to do with this discovery.
Living with feelings of difference can leave you with bruised and with difficult ideas of self worth. You may be frustrated with some challenges that you don't seem to be able to overcome; you may be carrying criticism and rejection and 'failures' which make it difficult to find a way forward. You may have talents which you struggle to fully use or projects you struggle to complete.
I'm an integrative therapist which means that I use a wide range of models, techniques and ideas to fit as closely as possible to your needs as they grow and change.
As an experienced counsellor I work to help you to understand the hurts and challenges caused by being held to a set of world rules which never matched your mind type in the first place. I also work to support you in finding ways to make the most of your vivid mind and find ways of living that suit you better.
I aim to help you make choices about how you move forward, making the most of you, with strategies to tackle obstacles your way and a greater sense of self worth. Working with me you can share what you are carrying in a compassionate, confidential and non-judgemental space. Feel free to get in touch with any questions or to book an appointment.
Further information
I understand that taking a step to ask for support can be daunting. I've been described as warm and approachable and with a good sense of humour so do get in touch to explore without judgement what therapy might offer you, or visit my website to find out more about how I work. You can contact me by email or phone with any questions or to book a first meeting.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified and insured counsellor and psychotherapist holding a masters level BACP Accredited Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Distinction) and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and NCPS working within their ethical frameworks. I am trained in online working and have four years experience of computer based therapy work.
Member organisations
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.
