I am licensed in the UK with 13 years of professional work experience.
I offer warm, understanding, down-to-earth counselling, in a safe and non-judgemental space in which to think and talk openly, where there is freedom to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, which impacts on motivation, self esteem, and confidence, I also have experience in coping with grief and loss which can be overwhelming.

Sue has been a super therapist and a grand find. She offers sound perspective and has supported me through overwhelming periods. She is genuine and understanding, and she creates a comfortable, nonjudgmental space that puts me at ease. She makes me feel valued, which helps when being vulnerable, and I appreciate that she checks in on me outside our sessions.

Sue is absolutely amazing. I’ve had a few sessions with her now and she is so incredibly supportive and natural at creating a safe space for you to talk. She is able to help me rationalise my thoughts and provides brilliant coping mechanisms for when I’m feeling anxious. Sue also regularly checks in outside of our sessions, which I really appreciate.

Susan is a great therapist who listens extremely well to my concerns and provides a safe environment to do so which was important for me. Therapy can be a daunting thing to start, but Susan really does well to ease you in.
