Life can sometimes feel shaped by trauma, anxiety or relational difficulties, leaving you stuck in repeating emotional patterns. I offer EMDR therapy within a supportive, person‑centred approach, providing a safe and non‑judgemental space to explore emotions, relationships and attachment experiences. Working collaboratively, we can process past and present trauma, reduce anxiety responses and address unhelpful beliefs. Together, we support meaningful change, helping you reconnect with yourself and others with greater self‑acceptance, resilience and emotional wellbeing.

I wonder how life is for you right now, maybe something difficult has happened, perhaps you are struggling with feelings that make life a challenge? Whatever's going on for you, it can be hard to find the right words to explain how you're feeling. I offer creative expression in therapy (art, poetry, sound, drama, objects) alongside talking counselling. I help with issues such as anxiety, coping with depression, overcoming grief, trauma, low self esteem, people pleasing ... Together we consider the impact of early life experiences and how internal defences maybe show up now. I work at a safe pace using a trauma informed approach.

It's Time For You! Are you always there for everyone else, and now need someone to be there for you? Then you have come to the right place! We all need help sometimes, and taking the first step of asking for help is often the hardest. I know, because I’ve been there too. You need time for yourself. How can you be there for others if you are feeling burnt-out? Have you suffered a loss or bereavement? Are you feeling low and anxious? Whatever difficulties you are facing, my job is not to diagnose you, give you advice, or tell you how to fix things. My job is to be by your side as we explore ways to help you find your own answers.

Hello, I’m Sue. I work with adults who feel something isn’t quite right, even if life looks fine on the outside. Often this shows up in relationship patterns, overthinking, or feeling unsure where you stand with others. You may notice the same dynamics repeating, even when you want something different. You may not be in crisis, but there is a quiet sense that something needs to change.

Are you struggling with your mental health? Do you often feel overwhelmed or misunderstood while trying to cope on the outside? If you've been diagnosed with ADHD later in life or are just starting to recognise neurodiversity in yourself, you're not alone. Many clients feel drained by self-doubt and repeating patterns that hinder their well-being. I offer a safe space to discuss anxiety, low mood, and feelings of being stuck in cycles of overthinking or burnout. I am here to help you feel seen and heard.

I’m a BABCP-accredited CBT practitioner and a member of the EMDR Association. I have over 15 years’ experience in the NHS and academic settings. Over the years, I’ve found that no single therapy works for everyone, so I draw on a range of approaches—including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR—to find what works best for you. At the end of the day, what matters most to me is creating a safe, understanding space where you feel heard. We’ll work together, at your pace, to explore your challenges and move towards the changes you’d like to see in your life.

Modern life brings many challenges – each of us meets these in our own unique way. Occasionally, problems feel insurmountable or a strategy may not be working. We may experience sleep loss, irritability, mood changes such as anger or even feel unwell. When our mental health is compromised, it can be as debilitating as a physical health issue. Counselling and coaching are powerful ways to take control. Counselling can help you discover your goals and find your own path.
