Hi, I am Susie, a friendly psychotherapist who has experience of working with a diverse range of clients within a confidential environment. For me, the heart of counselling is a good relationship between client and counsellor. This helps to create a safe and respectful setting for exploration, reflection and understanding of what is important to you. As we are all individual and unique, people will naturally need different things from counselling. I use an integrative, person-centred approach which means that we can work together in a way which best suits you, drawing from different techniques which will support you.

You may find yourself repeating patterns that feel difficult to understand or change, struggling with food, body image, relationships, self-esteem, grief, or a persistent sense of shame or self-criticism. Often these experiences are shaped by earlier relationships and ways of coping that once helped but may now feel limiting. My work is grounded in a relational, psychodynamic approach where we explore how past experiences may continue to shape how you feel about yourself and others today. By bringing greater awareness to these patterns, therapy can create space for understanding, self-compassion and change.

For following sessions, I then draw upon a range of modalities, including CBT, attachment, person centered, acceptance and commitment, and compassion focused therapy, integrating the most appropriate approach for you.
Sometimes life can be overwhelming and during these times we may develop patterns, thoughts and behaviours that can become unhelpful or tough to challenge. Counselling and psychotherapy can help you explore and understand patterns that have emerged in your life and provides an opportunity to work through these. It can help to relieve pain, depression or anxiety, help you make decisions, help you to work towards better relationships with those around you, or live a life according to what is important to you.

Life is tough. We all experience loss and difficulties along the way but sometimes those things can feel unmanageable or overwhelming. Maybe the situation is just too big, or maybe it's an accumulation of things that have built up over time that mean you feel you need some therapeutic support. As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, trained in Person-Centred, CBT and Attachment Theory with a particular specialism in working with traumatic loss and bereavement I can provide an empathic space for you to work through your current issues and to explore how your past may be informing your responses in the here and now.

You may recognise yourself in experiences like: feeling “too much” & “not enough” at the same time, struggling with intense emotions or mood shifts, pulling away when relationships start to matter, feeling anxious about closeness but equally afraid of being alone, holding everything together externally while feeling chaotic internally.
