About the Therapist

About the therapist:

Maybe you’re feeling lost, confused, angry or overwhelmed, or maybe you have no idea how you are actually feeling?

I’m Susan and I am an integrative therapist. My approach is humanistic and relational, and I work with you to make sense of what is going on for you. Counselling isn’t about being told what to do or being “fixed”. It’s about creating a safe space where you feel able to speak openly and honestly.

My own struggles have led me to become a therapist, and I hope that therapy can positively impact your life, as it did mine. I have lived experience of some of the things that bring us to seek therapy, and this, alongside my years of training, qualifies me to work with you and listen to your story without judgement and with both acceptance and warmth.

I’m down to earth and want you to feel safe and comfortable with me, so you feel able to open up and explore the things which have led you to seek therapy. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is key to a successful outcome, so if you’re looking for real human connection, then I might be the right therapist for you.

I know how hard it can be to take the first steps to finding a therapist, so my wish is to make the process as easy as possible for you, and I acknowledge your courage in reaching out. Counselling cannot change your past, but I can help you to make sense of it, and start to understand why you might behave in certain ways which you may no longer feel comfortable or happy with.

I offer a free 10-15 minute introductory telephone or video call, so that we can discuss your reasons for wanting counselling, your goals (if you have any, if not this is something we can work on together) and see if we feel that we’d be a good fit. Please get in touch if you would like to book an introductory call or first session.

Experience and approach:

My Style

I am an Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor, this means that I am trained to combine multiple therapeutic styles to create a tailored and collaborative approach. If you want to learn more about Integrative Therapy, you could start by looking at the BACP website: https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/types-of-therapy/integrative-counselling/

I believe that each of my clients are unique, so I adapt the therapy to fit your own preferences and goals to ensure that you get the most out of our sessions. I empower you to make choices about what will work best for you, and we regularly review the work that we are doing together.

I draw on different counselling modalities and techniques such as Person Centred Counselling, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. My style acknowledges how complex and individual our experiences can be.

I have a deeply relational approach, I think the human connection between therapist and client is key to the therapeutic process being successful. I have a very down to earth approach, bringing my authentic self to our therapeutic relationship. My hope is that through our work together you are able to understand how past experiences shape present emotional and relational patterns, and explore these patterns safely within the therapeutic relationship. This could help you to form a deeper sense of self, learn to trust your own feelings and gain the tools to lead a more fulfilling life and form healthier relationships in your life, both with others and yourself.

I aim to provide a space where you feel able to be your true self, without fear of judgement.
