About me
Hi, I'm Suzie Kennedy (MBACP), the founder of Faith in Me Therapy. I have a BA (Hons) degree in Counselling and Theology and am further practising with a Master's in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am registered as a therapist with BACP, NCPS (Accred.), and ACC. I offer online and in-person therapy at my central London practice in Shoreditch.
I am an Integrative therapist. This comprehensive approach combines Person-centred, CBT, Psychodynamic, and Gestalt modalities to address clients' presenting issues. I also include IFS to examine how parts of you can cause the presenting issue.
I believe Therapy should be accessible to all, and I have priced my services accordingly.
I have a wealth of experience gained from counselling clients at an NHS mental health service for anxiety and depression and a nationwide substance abuse service; I have seen firsthand how therapy can transform lives. I work with client’s who are experiencing different issues which are affecting their lives, including but not exclusive to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, self-harm, lack of identity, trauma, and addiction. I also work with neurodivergent clients.
I have been invited to speak at conventions, charities, and media outlets to share my story of transformation. Having personally overcome significant challenges, including cancer and abuse, I understand the courage it takes to seek help and the debilitating nature of some issues. 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.
As a Christian, I welcome the inclusivity and diversity of humanity. I offer a supportive, safe space to explore the issues that have brought you to therapy. I also work with people who wish to incorporate their faith in treatment or are struggling or feel excluded from their faith, including those from the LGBT+ community.
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.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a Christian professional membership organisation for those involved in counselling/psychotherapy and linked professions, i.e. pastoral care, coaching and spiritual direction, in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
