About the Therapist
About the therapist:

Dr Susannah Grant
As a psychologist, I work collaboratively with clients and draw on different models of therapy I have trained in. This allows us to work together to find a way forward that best suits your hopes for therapy at this point in your life.
I appreciate that finding a therapist to work with can feel daunting - a free consultation call gives you the chance to discuss your individual needs, and find out if I can help you. I provide both short and longer term therapy and offer a limited number of lower fee options.  Online and in-person sessions are available.
Next Steps
To arrange a free 15 minute phone consultation or an initial session, please email me and we can set up a convenient time to talk further. At an initial session, we'll talk about what brings you to therapy now, what you hope to gain from your sessions, and when and how often we plan to meet.

We all face difficult points in our lives.  Seeking professional help can be supportive whilst we are in the midst of such times, lessen the time we spend feeling stuck, enable long lasting change.  Working with a psychologist can help you make sense of the difficulties you currently face, understand what has been preventing you from moving forward, and help you find ways to move forward towards improved wellbeing, improved relationships with yourself and others, and improved ability to engage in daily life. Ultimately, therapy aims to equip you to support yourself after therapy has ended, and live a meaningful and engaged life.
