Counselling in GL7
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or struggling with anxiety, low self esteem, relationships, grief, trauma or the impact of past experiences. You might also be adjusting to a life changing diagnosis or living with a long term health condition. Alongside my private practice, I work as an NHS counsellor, supporting people through these challenges. Whatever has brought you here, I'll offer a warm, compassionate and non judgemental space where we can explore what's going on, at your pace.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes. Most people have experienced anxiety, stress or low moods at some point and often try to struggle through alone. Seeking professional help can feel daunting and takes courage to make that first call. I work with genuine care and empathy and offer a warm, safe, non-judgemental environment for you to explore what's troubling you with complete confidentiality.

My clients are people who are quietly struggling. They show up well in the world — at work, in relationships, in the roles they play — but something underneath isn't right. Stress and anxiety are often present, though they rarely arrive with those labels. More often they show up as overthinking, difficulty switching off, a sense of never quite feeling settled, self-destructive patterns, or a nagging feeling that life should feel different to this.
I also work with couples who have reached a point where the same arguments keep happening and something needs to change.

Contact me if you are looking for a safe person with whom you can explore matters that are important to you; this may include relationships, emotions, thoughts that concern you, or blocks you feel. The focus of our work would be you and your life. You may have goals you wish to achieve or feel hopeless and stuck. Whatever your concerns, our work may entail looking at the past or taking a more solution-focused approach. My approach assumes that the quality of our meeting is more important than any technique or theory I use and that different issues have meanings particular to the individual. Open communication is the key.

I believe the most important thing is to build a good relationship between counsellor and client, a relationship where you can feel secure, accepted, and heard. Through this relationship, awareness of how we feel can be found and with that a healthier way of managing our behaviours can be achieved.

You may be thinking about counselling for many reasons, eg:
You’re trying to come to terms with a loss, or illness.
You're going through a significant life change (e.g., retirement, kids leaving home, career change, relationship breakdown, relocation, becoming a parent).
You may feel angry, sad, depressed, anxious, confused, stuck – and perhaps not know why, or what to do about it.
You may want to make sense of things that happened in the past, or improve a relationship.
Whatever your reason for seeking counselling, it can help you to understand yourself better, and feel more confident to make the changes that are important to you.

Life is not always easy. The fact that you are looking at my page suggests that something feels stuck, painful, maybe hopeless or unreachable and that you want something different for yourself – that you want things to change. Perhaps you want to free yourself from repetitive patterns of behaviour, depression, anxiety and self-limiting beliefs or the impact of trauma. Maybe you want to deepen your connection to yourself so that life feels richer and more rewarding and you can find a more authentic sense of yourself. Whatever your reason, I offer you a safe, empathetic and thoughtful space to explore whatever you want to bring.

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.

If you're a teenager finding school harder than it should be - because of a health condition, anxiety, ADHD, or just feeling like you don't quite fit - or are a parent watching that happen and not knowing how to help, this is the right place. I work with young people and adults, helping them understand their experiences, build confidence and regain control.

Perhaps you are experiencing stress, low-self esteem, the effects of trauma, bereavement or depression. Maybe you feel that something isn't quite 'right'. If so, psychotherapy could be used to help you gain self-acceptance, and a deeper understanding of what makes you 'tick' and what doesn't. Psychotherapy is typically a weekly meeting of fifty minutes, often over a medium to long term. With time and commitment, we aim to build what may be called a 'therapeutic alliance' that allows you to feel able to safely explore and eventually understand and come to terms with difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences both current and past.
