About me

Hello, I'm a licensed therapist in the UK with extensive experience supporting adults, children, teenagers & students. I’m passionate about providing personalized, integrated counselling tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you're dealing with stress and anxiety, bereavement and loss, relationship challenges, self-harm, low self-esteem, trauma, or other concerns, I’m here to help.
Anxiety often points to deeper issues that may persist until explored and processed. Together, we can uncover those roots and equip you with the right emotional coping tools to help you build the resilient, fulfilling life you deserve.
I believe you are the expert of your own life story. Therapy is a collaborative process that gives you the space and support to navigate your challenges in a safe, understanding, and non-judgmental environment. Taking that first step to begin therapy can feel overwhelming, but it’s a brave and powerful decision that can truly transform your life.

Susan came into my life in a time that i didn’t know i needed a therapist and i genuinely don’t know how i would’ve made it through without her. Her compassion and sharing of constant tips to help me and her check ins are so appreciated! Genuinely a great therapist and a greater individual ❤️
