About me
Life feels more than peri-menopause or menopause, maybe its ADHD
ADHD Peri-menopause or Post Menopause Can Feel Like:
- I really take things to heart
- I struggle to start or finish tasks, lose track of time and forget things
- Everything feels such an effort; yet others seem to cope with ease
- My brain is busy most of the time, but can also wander off
- I often feel Anxious or Depressed
- Injustice makes something inside me burn
- I replay conversations over and over
- I’m often told I’m too sensitive, but my feelings are real
- I feel misunderstood; even by loved ones
Whether you have a diagnosis or not, your experience of being you matters. I will help you find a sense of calming acceptance, of yourself, and your current life, or the creation of a new one!
The Point of Change:
By reflecting on your experiences from a compassionate perspective, labels softens and your narrative can change from:
What's wrong with me?
To
What do I actually need (or want)?
I’ll guide you through compassionate curiosity, insights emerge about how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours shape your daily life. A reflective perspective can highlight what might be missing, or what you could let go of; guiding you towards creating a more fulfilling and satisfying future.
Compassionate Curiosity Can Result In:
- Criticism or the word no, losing their emotional charge, so your day can continue without feeling derailed
- Switching to positive inner dialogue versus self-criticism
- Actually getting things done
- Learning to recognise your personal limits before burning out
- Decisions become easier from listening to your inner guidance
- Feeling less anxious when asking for what you need; that you are not a burden
- Learning how to speak up and show up in ways that grow your confidence
- Learning how to communicate effectively, asking for your needs to be met and identifying helpful practical steps that align with your natural way of being

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Additional information
My regular clients - usually - meet with me on a fortnightly basis. This facilitates beneficial processing time between sessions. However, you can opt for weekly if you prefer, or you can also choose monthly.
One Hour Session is £90
90 Minute Session is £125
Two Hour Session is £170
I encourage clients to commit to regular sessions because that really does contribute to an effectively beneficial - and speedier - outcome.
I give positive & beneficial value for your investment.
If committing to regular fortnightly sessions doesn't fit your busy schedule, perhaps a 2 hour single session would be a preferred option for you? I offer a 2 hour session for £170
Payment is via bank transfer or PayPal

About Susie - The Human Behind The Therapist...
I am a gentle, kind soul with a big heart. I believe in fairness and equality. I'm able to connect deeply and compassionately with others to help them heal, change or accept.
I like the simple things like sunrises and sunsets, walking in nature with my dog, admiring beautiful views. I love meditation and breath-work; they have been a tremendous help through my own healing. I can cook – sometimes… I excel at eating chocolate and love swimming in open water!
I work with Women with ADHD, Peri-menopause and Post-menopause; whatever curved balls these conditions throw...
I'll meet you where you are...
