If you are looking at this website, my guess is that there is an aspect of your life that needs attention. There are countless reasons why this might be the case. There may be a particular issue in the present day that you wish to address, such as your relationships, bereavement, addictions or depression. Or, you might feel haunted by unresolved issues from your past such as trauma, abuse or childhood experiences. Perhaps it is hard to name what is troubling you, yet you feel overwhelmed, or that your life is lacking meaning and purpose and it is hard to find any enjoyment.

Warm welcome. I'm a EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, BACP Accred. Counsellor and Supervisor.

Hi, I'm Susan and I'm a qualified and accredited therapeutic counsellor.
People come to counselling for many reasons, at all ages and stages of their lives. Sometimes for something very specific like anxiety, family issues or trauma -or sometimes just because they feel “off” or lost.
I offer a warm, safe, non-judgemental space where you can be supported to make sense of your experiences at your own pace. Together, I can help you understand your experiences and build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Do you feel like: your mind is constantly racing with anxious thoughts, do you replay conversations, and feel like you just can't relax? Or perhaps you feel exhausted, disconnected and like you're just trying to keep it all together. If this sounds familiar you're not alone. Many people come to sessions feeling this way.
Sessions with me are rooted in compassion, curiosity and are a collaboration. I will work with you towards the change you'd like to see. The combination of talking therapy and art therapy, for which no experience of art-making is necessary, can support you in creating lasting change.

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with specialist training in working with teenagers & children who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, behavioural challenges, trauma, or difficulties managing big emotions.
Many young people feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, and this can be stressful not only for them but for the parents and caregivers who care for them. My aim is to create a safe, supportive environment where young clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood, so that they can begin to explore their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment or criticism.

With over 25 years of experience, ranging from addiction through to sexual and emotional abuse, anxiety, depression, anger and numbness, I'd like to support you. In recent years I have moved my work focus to integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) as I find this way of working empowering to the client, engaging and highly effective. It may be you hear a loud critical voice inside or joy and fun may be fleeting or missing, you might like to access them again (or for the first time!). If your goal is a compassionate, connected, creative Self then maybe Internal Family systems be what you are looking for in therapy.
