I work with individuals and couples who appear to be coping outwardly, but remain stuck in patterns of anxiety, emotional disconnection, or sexual difficulties that persist despite insight and effort. This may include low desire, pain during sex, erection or orgasm difficulties, compulsive sexual behaviours, or sex becoming pressured, avoidant, increasingly monitored rather than felt, or distressing. My approach is structured and evidence-based, focused on identifying and changing the patterns that maintain these difficulties.

Clients come to me for help with a range of issues, including improving their relationships, managing (or creating) change, and overcoming challenges. Much of my work is with people who, like me, are neurodivergent (e.g. ADHDers, autistic or AuADHD) and/or GSRD (Gender, Sex and Relationship Diverse - e.g. queer, trans, NB, consensually non-monogamous or kinky). I am sex and kink-positive, and my approach is affirming whether or not neurodivergence or GSRD relate directly to our work together. Whether you're seeking support as an individual, a couple, or triad, I can offer you a safe, accepting space in which to explore and grow.

It can be overwhelming finding the right therapist and therapeutic approach for you. I aim to make the process of therapy clear and comprehensible, starting with building a shared understanding (formulation) of your difficulties and setting goals. Over the last 14 years I have worked across the NHS and independent practice, supporting adults and young people with mood difficulties (including anxiety and depression), adjustment to physical health conditions, and eating disorders. My clinical experience and training, together with your self-knowledge, is our starting point for therapeutic work.

I work with challenges that may arise for parents at different stages, including fertility issues and baby loss, gender disappointment, fear of birth, birth trauma, intrusive thoughts and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), antenatal and postnatal anxiety and depression, difficulty bonding. I support parents to adjust whether it is their first child or they are juggling a growing family. I believe that people are always trying their best to cope, but sometimes these ways of coping stop working as well or become problems themselves. I know how much pressure there is to be ‘perfect’ parents and how much strain that can cause.

Don’t let trauma drive your relationships in life, they will take you down a beaten track, instead become a conscious driver and set your destination to healthy and happy relationships where you can be your true self and grow. When thinking about relationships, most people seem to overlook the fact that our traumas inform how we relate to other people, this means that any trauma that hasn’t been processed and healed, will be determining what kind of person comes into your life, which ones stay and which ones leave.  At a practical level these traumas show up in day-to-day interactions with others in countless & often subtle ways:

Hello. Clients come to me in a state of distress or confusion about their relationships or the direction their life has taken. You may have experienced the loss of a loved one or of identity, you may have been betrayed, or feel regret. You may be a concerned parent, or a worried child. You want to feel safe, to feel understood, and to believe there will be help, that things will be different. Ideally, you come in knowing that there is something within yourself that you would like to change. First you need to tell a story, to vent anger, anxiety, grief or fear. Then you want to be heard, and you will be.

Sometimes we believe we are the only ones who feel and think the way we do. We can feel isolated and alone, trapped in a vicious circle of negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. This can make us feel we are not in control of our life and not living to our full potential. As an experienced Integrative Counsellor, I draw on different theories depending on what you would like to achieve and your individual needs. My name is Sue and I am an empathic, compassionate non judgemental Counsellor with experience of working with people of all different ages, cultures, genders, sexual orientation.

You may appear to be coping well, while privately feeling caught up in worry, self-doubt or overthinking. You might replay conversations, worry about making the wrong decision, seek reassurance, or spend a lot of time checking and reviewing things. You may find uncertainty difficult or experience intrusive thoughts that leave you questioning yourself. Anxiety and OCD can also show up through perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing, avoidance, checking or trying to feel completely certain before making a decision. These things can help in the short term, but often keep anxiety going over time.
