Counselling in Bishops Cleeve

As a counsellor working with Adults, Teenagers and Children, I offer a safe, confidential space where I listen without judgement. We will work together at your pace. I offer an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of life's difficulties and the emotions that are being experienced. We will explore what is important to you, what you need to address and where you are needing help, understanding and support. Our work together moves towards making positive changes within yourself, your life and your relationships. ​

We all go through periods in our life where we feel sad, anxious or overwhelmed by our difficulties and struggle to find a way forward. Perhaps you are going through a life transition, relationship breakdown or feeling stuck and lost as to how to make changes? Often these feelings can be linked to experiences from our childhood. Unlocking this can help make sense of what we are experiencing in the present. I can help by giving support and a space to work through these feelings and look at any challenges you face from a different perspective..

I wonder if you are looking to find out why things are not going well at the moment? Maybe you have experienced a personal loss or often feel low and tearful? Perhaps a friend or loved one has suggested you could talk to someone about feeling low? I can offer a space for you to explore issues and allow time to heal. There may be parts of your behaviour that confuse you, often leading to you ending up hurt and disappointed. Are there relationship problems that cause disress? Sometimes life is overwhelming and it seems that everything is going wrong. It feels impossible to tell people around you how you truly feel. Tell me.

Adults, as well as pre-teen and teenagers, know to find me, as I have professionally trained for both. I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), a well-known evidence based psychotherapy, which has a very practical approach. My clients feel they gain strategies, practical & emotional, which help them deal with what was hindering/hurting them. Issues my clients and I work with most, are Low Self Esteem, Anxiety, Depression, Perfectionism, OCD tendencies, Self Harm, Suicidal thoughts. 20 Years ago I started training as an NLP practitioner, which means I have a wide range of tools on my therapeutic tool belt.

In troubling times it can sometimes feel like you are alone & seeking help might feel really difficult. Just having a space to make sense of the thoughts that jumble around our heads is invaluable. Perhaps you need to understand yourself, your relationships or events from your past. Sometimes all we need is someone to just listen and hear our story. Counselling promotes insight, fosters self-awareness & creates a stronger, more resilient sense of self. This powerful combination can be the kick-start for the changes in your life you wish to make - sometimes even the smallest changes can make a huge difference in your well-being.

Perhaps you've not been to therapy before and are hesitant about what to expect. Perhaps you are wondering where to even begin in what you want to talk about. Maybe you are here to understand yourself and others better, or you want to make sense of a challenging life experience to feel more connected, happier and fulfilled in life! The best place to start may involve thinking more about me than about you! Much has been said about the therapeutic relationship being an important predictor of change, so this is a great opportunity to get to know me to establish if I'm a good-fit for you!

Working online so you can be from the comfort of your own home. Are you grappling with difficult emotions? Struggling with anxiety, depression or stress? Do you have negative or critical thoughts about yourself, holding you back from reaching what you truly desire? Or perhaps you have experienced a traumatic event which you would like to talk through? What ever has brought you here, we can work collaboratively to improve your wellbeing, bringing peace and balance to your life. I am a down to earth, warm and compassionate individual, committed to supporting people who are struggling emotionally or psychologically.

I hope to offer a safe space, warm and trusting environment and non-judgemental relationship, where we can discuss the difficult and uncomfortable elements of your life. Be those early life experiences and relationships, significant life events (pregnancy/birth/death/marriage/divorce), anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, identity, sense of self, loss.

I am an integrative therapist who works with young people (16+) and adults. I am passionate about supporting mental health and work hard to help clients overcome difficulties and day-to-day challenges. I offer a safe and non-judgmental place where people can be themselves; where they can bring and share their experiences, and look at how these particular situations affect their lives. Through active listening, I will help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I will follow your lead. Through our talks, I will be able to gain insight into your problems and personal circumstances.

Hello. I'm Sue and I'm a counsellor and psychotherapist working online across the UK to give you the flexibility to meet from your own home or chosen safe place. I also offer appointments in the lovely village of Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire, if you feel you prefer to meet in person. I'm an integrative therapist which means that I adapt how we work to suit your individual needs. I'll work alongside you to explore and better understand what is going on for you in a space where you can be heard in a supportive, non judgemental and compassionate way,

I wonder what it feels like to find yourself here, looking for some kind of support? Maybe you are struggling to 'make sense' of what you've been experiencing in your life recently? Many of my clients inhabit a crowded yet empty world, in which they cannot easily 'hear' themselves, or feel that they are not 'understood' by those around them. Perhaps you feel a little like this too? My first hope as a counsellor is that working collaboratively you will feel both heard and understood - maybe for the first time. When this happens, we begin to develop the inner resources needed to discover and engage with who we truly are.
