I have been working in this field for over twenty years now and I still have a determined passion for it. I am trusted to hear the life narratives and difficulties of those seeking support and my aim is to help you feel heard and empowered. I have never lost sight of this aim. I have worked with people who have felt very isolated by their own thoughts, felt intense shame, and struggled to cope with overwhelming feelings. Usually they have not felt able to talk to those around them for fear of judgment, embarrassment or rejection. I feel privileged to have been trusted by my clients which enables me to help lessen their burden.

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.

My clients want clarity, growth, and empowerment - to feel whole, rediscover their authentic self, and live aligned with who they truly are, creating meaningful change in their life and relationships.

I am an integrative therapist in sessions we talk about what you are feeling in combination with tuning into where and how the emotional dysregulation is manifesting physically. I incorporate gentle exercises specifically designed to release anxieties grip, held within the autonomic nervous system, deepening your connection to self. These exercises involve gentle movements, breathing techniques and information about the body-mind connection. By creating a sense of safety in the body it reduces anxiety widening the capacity to process trauma, which comes in many forms

Life can be hard at times. We can experience loss, changes in our health, family circumstances or work life. Maybe our relationships are not fulfilling our needs and we do not know how to change things. At times, we don’t feel good about ourselves, we lose confidence in our ability to cope with life or maybe we feel impacted by past experiences or held back through feelings of anger, shame or guilt. Sometimes we don’t know what’s wrong, but we just know something isn’t right. I can help you explore what is going on for you by giving you a supportive space to talk and be heard.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside—but inside feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift.
Many of the people I work with are used to holding everything together for others, while quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, or the impact of past experiences
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I work with people who have experienced trauma in many forms—whether from childhood, relationships, family issues, work, or life events that left a lasting impact. Often, this trauma shows up in the present as anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, low self-worth, or feeling “stuck.”

Therapy with warmth, humour, and a brew.
A warm drink can be comforting, but it doesn’t magically fix the overwhelm, the masking, the relationship patterns, or the weight of old wounds. What it CAN do is help us slow down, breathe, and begin to explore things together at your pace.
I work in a deeply person‑centred, trauma-informed and collaborative way, often with a cup of tea in hand; creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
I have completed ADHD‑Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD‑CCSP) Training, and I’m currently undertaking Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS) training.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
