Counselling in Bath
Therapy is a space to explore and understand your self and your own responses, and to resolve past difficulties to enable you to live life more fully. I have particular interests in childhood and attachment trauma, abuse, anxiety, those with ADHD or neuro divergent diagnosis, relationship breakdowns, and those with clinical diagnosis such as Bi-Polar, PTSD and CPTSD.
I also work with couples - not just marriage or partnerships, but siblings/friends/parent child couples.

I aim to provide a safe, supportive and nurturing environment so that together we can explore whatever difficulties you are experiencing in a secure and confidential space. I understand that you may seek the support of a psychotherapist for a number of reasons including, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. My integrative training enables me to draw on a wide range of different theoretical perspectives to meet your specific and individual needs. My professional interests include, but are not limited to, themes such as early childhood trauma, identity, separation and depression.

Are you constantly experiencing relationship challenges, leaving you feeling distressed, bewildered, let down and perhaps angry and self-blaming for repeating these patterns? It can be utterly devastating to keep finding ourselves stuck in this way. Whether in intimate relationships, family dynamics, friendships or work situations, I can support you to explore the origins of these difficult issues, leading to healthier relationships with others. I can help with life transitions, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, loss, grief, challenging relationships and more. Also, those in the Creative/Performing Arts Community or Film/ Media.

You're holding everything together — work, relationships, responsibilities — and doing it well enough that nobody would guess the effort it actually takes. But privately something won't shift. The anxiety that appears for no obvious reason. The relationships that follow the same exhausting patterns. The flatness that success hasn't touched.
You've probably tried to address it. Got some tools, felt better for a while. But something underneath keeps reasserting itself — and you're right that it does.
I've spent 30 years helping people understand what's actually driving their experience, not just manage the symptoms.

You may struggle with people-pleasing or with not feeling good enough, no matter how much you do for others. Saying “no” can bring guilt, decisions can feel paralysing and someone’s disappointment can leave you unsettled for days. Over time, this can leave you anxious, indecisive and disconnected from what you want.
These patterns often began as intelligent ways of keeping relationships safe. But what once protected you may now cost you confidence, clarity and vitality. You may feel responsible for others’ emotions, doubtful of your worth or frustrated that you can’t stop over-adapting.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or low mood, struggling with the impact of a loss or past experience, or finding yourself caught in patterns in relationships that are difficult to change. You might also have a sense that something isn’t fully understood — that there are feelings or reactions that don’t quite make sense, even to you.
In my practice, I offer a space to explore these experiences in depth. Rather than focusing only on immediate symptoms, we work over time to understand how certain patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating have developed, and how they continue to shape your life.

As a psychologist, I have been trained in a range of therapies and work integrating techniques from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and systemic therapy to co-create a bespoke therapy that meets your unique needs. For some, this might mean exploring how past experiences continue to shape present feelings and behaviours, while for others it could involve breaking cycles of unhelpful thinking, managing difficult emotions, or finding new ways to strengthen relationships. My aim is to create a way of working that is tailored to you and helps you move towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and a sense of ease in everyday life.

I provide a space to explore whatever struggles may have brought you here - it might be anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, or a general sense that you are not where you want to be in life. By exploring current or long-standing challenges, we can work together to better understand unhelpful patterns which might be keeping you stuck, and start to build a heathier relationship with yourself and others.
Previously I have worked at the BCPC Low-Cost Counselling Service, and I have experience working with adults with a broad range of issues.

What do most of us desire beneath it all? To feel good, whole and comfortable within ourselves and in the relationships around us. That state of peaceful being resides within all of us but often past traumas and challenging life experiences have shaped who we have become, influencing the story of who we now think we are. These beliefs often disconnect us from our true, best selves. Trauma happens, and often feelings of shame result. Living our lives wishing bad events never happened leave us feeling powerless but incorporating our past experiences in a way that does not debilitate, permits us to live with them, not ruled by them.

A very warm welcome. Are you looking for a supportive, reflective space to work through your difficulties? Sometimes it’s hard to talk to family or friends and we need someone who offers a fresh perspective with warmth and understanding.
Together we can explore whatever is holding you back and help you find a way to move beyond it. All topics are welcome. Currently many of my clients are interested in uncovering a better sense of who they are, or finding their own authentic voice or inner strength, rather than pleasing others.

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

Do you feel tender and weighed down by more than words can hold? You may find yourself anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed—caught in the pull of patterns that never seem to end. Maybe you yearn to feel settled in your body, more open in your connections, more alive in your days. You don’t need fixing—you need meeting. To feel safe, witnessed, and held as you touch what lies beneath. You’re ready to trust your own wisdom, soften old defences, and step into more truth, clarity, and belonging. You want to return home to yourself.
