Susan and I have been working together since March 2021. I am very grateful for the wonderful opportunity of having her support and guidance through my most difficult situations, relationship failures, and vulnerable moments I have had to endure. I have always felt respected and understood by her.
Susan is a very warm and friendly person so speaking with her has always felt very natural. She takes her time to listen to me and her advice and suggestions have always been super helpful. On top of that she always provides PDF attachments that are extra helpful after my sessions with her! This is the most helpful therapist I have ever had, I am super happy to have connected with her!
I can definitely say she has played a big in my healing journey and I couldn’t be any happier!

Susan is very good at listening, and can help you see issues and problems in helpful ways. She is both practical and empathetic, two of the most important things I wish from a counsellor.
