About me
Welcome, my name is Suzanne. I offer Face-to-Face evening, afternoon and therapy and flexible Zoom or Telephone therapy. How can I help. Together we can explore what is happening for you. I am a straight- talking, open minded, warm and very caring person, who can carefully listen to you and look at your issues from your perspective. For our therapy to work, our relationship, me as a person, my interest in people and my years of experience are the key factors enabling me to help you. My counselling service is flexible and designed to be tailored to your unique situation. I use an integrative approach to counselling working with individuals, couples and families. I am very interested and have extensive experience in relationship work and I regularly work with couples
I regularly provide the therapy requirements needed for Level 4 counselling students
My experience in relationships includes family, partners, husbands wives and friends. Issues include Low Self esteem, Anxiety, Depression, Domestic violence and Anger (their own anger or others) and general personality exploration. I have experience of working with people of all ages including young people starting out, older people and dementia in the family. Sometimes working holistically with mind and body helps in these areas.
As a former line-manager, I have had 15 years experience helping people with workplace stress. Counselling is different to line management, but I have made use of this experience to help clients with corporate workplace issues.
We can work together for you to speak openly and for you to feel heard in a safe and confidential space
If you would like to find out more and see if we could work together, I offer a free 30 minute consultation which allows you to get a sense of whether I am the right counsellor for you and feel more familiar with me before we meet

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.

Further information
I offer an initial free 30 minute consultation by Telephone or Zoom which enables you to get a sense of whether I am the right counsellor and for you to feel more familiar with me before we start our counselling. With counselling I feel that it should be one step at a time. Have as many or as few sessions as you like. You will know after one or two sessions whether you feel that counselling with me will help you.
