About me
Hello, I'm Sue.
Are you struggling with the ups and downs of life. Perhaps you have recently noticed more of those anxious moments when you don't feel like yourself, and cannot understand why! Experiencing conflicts in your relationships or disagreeing with family members and become more aware of unhelpful behaviours or unhealthy habits being used to cope with life's events or just feeling real sadness and having low moods
As a qualified Counsellor, I offer you a safe and non judgemental therapeutic space where you will feel comfortable to explore why that might be. Our counselling sessions can take place either in person in a lovely relaxing setting within the heart of Spalding town, or online. I work from a person centred therapeutic model, to ensure that during our time together, your needs always remain my primary concern, with sessions delivered through a warm honest approach, encouraging self growth, awareness and understanding, so your personal goals for counselling are meet. In recognition of this, I am able to offer concession rates for those on low income and students, which I am happy to discuss as part of a free 15 mins introductory chat .

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).
