My specialty include depression, OCD, social anxiety, health anxiety, and PTSD.
Do thoughts like “Am I good enough?” or “I can’t do this” follow you wherever you go? Are painful past experiences or constant worries about things going wrong keeping you awake at night? If so, you're not alone. I help people understand what may be keeping these difficulties going and equip them with evidence-based skills and strategies to break free from unhelpful patterns. Life can feel overwhelming at times, but it also offers an opportunity for growth and change. Together, we'll work towards letting go of what no longer serves you, building resilience, and creating a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Do you ever feel that a part of you wants to speak your truth, while another holds back out of fear of conflict or judgement? One part of you wants closeness and connection in relationships, but another part pulls away the moment things start to get real? Or a part wants change, but another clings to what's familiar, even when it no longer serves you. Very often these parts live in disagreement with one another, and disconnected from you, living their own lives and speak louder than you do. This can make you feel as if you're pulled apart causing anxiety, internal conflict, keeping you stuck in the same cycle, hopeless and lonely.

Reaching out can feel daunting - I offer empathy and a safe, supportive, environment in which we can explore issues and identify: your strengths, values, goals, alternative perspectives and potential changes. Many clients present with anxiety, depression, stress or lacking meaning/joy - we can address the issues that may feel overwhelming and disentangle them. We can either work on longer-term deeper changes or employ short-term strategies. Personal histories can impact on people and you have the option to address yours and change your lived experience. I work with diverse clients of all ethnicities/genders/sexualities/body shapes.

Sometimes we believe we are the only ones who feel and think the way we do. We can feel isolated and alone, trapped in a vicious circle of negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. This can make us feel we are not in control of our life and not living to our full potential. As an experienced Integrative Counsellor, I draw on different theories depending on what you would like to achieve and your individual needs. My name is Sue and I am an empathic, compassionate non judgemental Counsellor with experience of working with people of all different ages, cultures, genders, sexual orientation.

Are you fed up with thoughts turning over and over in your mind? Or do self doubt, fear, and shame or guilt creep in more than you like? Perhaps you would like a relationship but struggle to start or maintain the one you have? Even when life is going well we may lose trust in ourselves and feel lonely. We may compare ourselves and seek validation from others, or abandon our own needs to accommodate others. We may wear the mask we think others want to see and believe we aren’t good enough. We may fear there is something wrong with us and that this is how it's going to be forever.

If you've been feeling depressed, anxious, sad, or stressed for a while, lacking any enjoyment with nothing to look forward to, life can feel miserable. Additionally, you may not understand why you’ve been feeling this way, but know that you just don’t feel like your usual self, and you may be feeling powerless to change how you feel, or hopeless about things getting better. You might want to talk to someone about how you’re feeling but don’t want to burden friends or family, and may feel nervous or apprehensive, or embarrassed about seeking help from a counsellor or therapist.
