About me

Hello, I’m Sue.

I am a dedicated person-centred counsellor passionate about helping people. To me, being person-centred means I listen without judgement. I offer warmth, encouragement, and deep support.

Every client is unique. Because of this, I let you lead our sessions. I adapt my techniques to fit your individual needs.

I always provide a safe, welcoming, and confidential space. Here, you can safely explore your thoughts and feelings. I offer both short-term and long-term therapy.

I have valuable experience helping clients with:

  • Anxiety and depression
  • Loss and bereavement
  • Childhood abuse 
  • Trauma
  • Low self-esteem
  • Relationship issues

Together, we will build useful coping skills.  To help you gain self-awareness and the confidence to make positive changes.

Taking the first step can feel hard. I completely understand this. I invite you to contact me for a free, confidential chat. We can talk through your options and see if counselling feels right for you.

Take care,

Sue
