About me

Hi, I'm Suzie Kennedy (MBACP) (MACC), the founder of Faith in Me Therapy. With a BA (Hons) degree in Counselling and Theology, further study for a Master's in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy and registrations with BACP, NCPS (Accred.) and ACC, I bring knowledge and expertise to my practice. I specialise in Integrative therapy, a comprehensive approach that combines Person-centred, CBT, Psychodynamic, and Gestalt modalities to address clients' presenting issues. 

I believe that Therapy should be accessible to all, and I price my services accordingly, with a sliding scale for those facing financial hardships.

With a wealth of experience gained from counselling clients at an NHS mental health counselling service for anxiety and depression and a nationwide substance abuse service, I have seen firsthand how therapy can transform lives. I have been invited to speak at conventions, charities, and media outlets to share these stories of transformation. Having personally overcome significant challenges, including cancer, I understand the courage it takes to seek help and the debilitating nature of some issues.

As a Christian, I am committed to inclusivity and respect for all. Regardless of your beliefs, my practice is a safe and welcoming space for you to explore your challenges and work towards healing.

In 2023, I was honoured to be appointed as an Ambassador for Woman's Trust charity. This role allows me to contribute to a cause I deeply care about, providing women who have experienced domestic violence access to free counselling and support services. I adhere to the BACP and ACC ethical frameworks, assuring a confidential counselling space to explore the areas in life you feel are holding you back. Together, we will develop skills and strategies to help overcome these challenges. You have the power within you to recover the life you want. Are you ready to start the journey? Please reach out to me.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
