Are you constantly going over the same dilemmas in your head? Either present day issues or difficulties arising from your past which are causing distress or leaving you feeling like you are not sure what to do next. Perhaps you are Neurodivergent and would like to explore how that impacts your life and find more affirmative experiences? I am a BACP registered and experienced therapist, delighted to offer neurodivergent-affirming one-to-one therapy to adults across the UK. Together we can reflect on what is troubling you, find a way for you to be more at ease and move towards change.
I bring a wealth of knowledge to my practice, informed by both my academic background and personal journey. I hold a Master's degree in Psychotherapeutic Practice, and researched ADHD in therapy for the dissertation component. I have extensive experience in various settings and a special interest in working with neurodivergent clients( ADHD, autistic etc).
Reach out by email to see if we are a good fit for working together. Bring along anything to make you more comfortable, a blanket, a cuppa and perhaps a calming pet. I work from my peaceful home in West Wales with a view of red kites soaring out of my window. I aim to get back to you within 24 hours (excluding weekends).
Take the first step to help. Susie Bates Ma now

I specialise in ADHD (drawing from both lived experience and Master's research) and work with many individuals who are autistic or AuDHD. We will meet online and you will be deeply listened to as we explore your challenges and identify ways to move forward. This can lead to improved relationships and a better self understanding, increased self-advocacy and emotional resilience.

You will be welcomed and listened to. I adapt my practice to suit your needs. You might know exactly why you need support or you may not. I can help you work out what you need from counselling, that may be to primarily be heard and supported . You might wish to explore the past and how it impacts your life now . With that knowledge I can support you to look towards the future and moving forwards
