About me and my therapy practice
Hi I’m Susie.
Do you feel that your needs aren’t being acknowledged, let alone met; that no one really listens to you? Perhaps you feel worthless, anxious and have low self-esteem?
Or are you facing a life changing event and need the strength to move through it?
Are you ending up in the same type of relationships that lead to heartache and pain?
Have you experienced a traumatic event that has affected your ability to connect with others?
What can I offer you?
I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor working with adults.
I work in a client-centric way, believing that you are the expert in yourself. I encourage collaborative exploration and offer gentle observations to aid the therapeutic process.
I am an advocate of the therapeutic relationship being at the heart of a successful counselling experience, where acceptance and compassion is encouraged and given.
I offer a calm, safe, relaxed, non-judgmental and empathetic space for honest dialogue.
Every client is unique and I tailor my counselling to suit your individual need. I also believe in being authentic and that having a sense of humour can, at times, relieve the intensity of sessions, where appropriate.
Practice description
As an integrated counsellor, I work largely (but not exclusively) using personal centred and psychodynamic theoretical approaches to explore your thoughts and feelings, to understand why you feel the way you do. The latter approach can include focus on past events; by processing these events together, you can achieve a greater self-awareness. Patterns of behaviour that once worked for you, may not be serving you now. We can look at these patterns, and discuss potentially different options going forwards.
I currently work with clients suffering with :
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Stress
• PTSD
• Trauma
• Low self-esteem
• Relationship issues
• Domestic/sexual abuse
• Emotional/narcissistic abuse
I have a background in working in education and business with young people and adults. Alongside my private practice, I also work for a charity offering counselling to those suffering from the impacts of recent or historic sexual abuse. Working with a diversity of individuals, from many different backgrounds has enriched my counselling experience and my outlook on life.
