Dissociative Disorders (DID) Counselling in Bath
Not all difficulties are visible from the outside, nor fully resolved by competence, success, or endurance. Many people who come to my practice are highly capable, carrying responsibility, pressure, and often more than others realise. Others feel privately stuck despite outward stability. Difficulties may relate to trauma, dissociation, compulsive coping, childhood neglect, abuse, military service, or demanding professional or home environments. Having worked in the Square Mile, and been a stay at home Mum, I understand pressured cultures and help clients address what remains unresolved so life can move forward more freely.

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with specialist training in working with teenagers & children who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, behavioural challenges, trauma, or difficulties managing big emotions.
Many young people feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, and this can be stressful not only for them but for the parents and caregivers who care for them. My aim is to create a safe, supportive environment where young clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood, so that they can begin to explore their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment or criticism.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself. Perhaps anxiety or low mood is affecting your daily life, or you’re struggling with relationships, confidence, sleep, or motivation. You might feel caught in unhelpful habits or thought patterns, or sense that something needs to change but aren’t sure where to begin. Often people seek therapy because they want relief from emotional distress, from feeling out of control, or from repeating the same patterns. Beneath that, there is usually a deeper wish to understand themselves better, to feel more at ease, and to live with greater clarity and choice.

I also work with couples - not just marriage or partnerships, but siblings/friends/parent child couples.

Do you have problems with anxiety, depression or post traumatic stress symptoms? I practice Body Psychotherapy, a way of working with the body and mind which can release trauma symptoms held in the body. Often what is needed is to actually inhabit our body more and to let go of the mind and fears of the future or memories of the past. When we can more easily inhabit the present moment we can be in our body in harmony and ease. Please contact me if you resonate with any of this and also find more details on my website www.suehealerbath.co.uk I offer in person sessions and also distant sessions which can work just as well

It is not at all unusual for any of us to experience a sense of anxiety or depression due to a life event that has caused us to feel “disconnected,” or simply “overwhelmed.” We might experience a bereavement or loss (a job, a relationship, a marriage); or issues may arise related to dating, getting married, or ageing and retirement. Alternatively, we might feel unable to be “ourselves,” or have the desire to nurture other aspects of our personality that seem underdeveloped: a lack of confidence to take risks and engage life, an ability to slow down, or an ability to be honest about our feelings with others. Psyhotherapy can help.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Counsellors
How does therapy for dissociative disorders work?
Dissociation may be triggered by stress or other upsetting circumstances, and therapy can address the traumatic events at the core of an individual’s dissociation. Understanding why a person may dissociate can help the therapist and the individual come up with alternative methods of coping. A person with a dissociative disorder may get stuck on negative thinking, for example, and treatment like Cognitive behavioural therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behaviour therapy, for example, can help a person manage their anguish through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for dissociative disorders?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful memories and past traumas. These therapies work to integrate an individual's different identities into one person.
Are there specific medications for dissociation?
There are no specific medications prescribed for dissociative disorders. However, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and/or panic often co-occur in dissociative disorders. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for any accompanying symptom which may include antipsychotics, antidepressants, or anti-anxiety drugs.
How often and how long are therapy sessions?
Like any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. There are still other patients, especially those who have co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, who may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months.
