Hi I'm Sue,

I am an Integrative counsellor, qualified trauma therapist, and I work with the flash technique, rewind technique, and dream completion technique. 

I am also an emotional freedom technique practitioner (EFT-tapping therapy), and I am certified to work with adults who have experience of adoption, foster, and the care system.

I come from a diverse background, carrying a tool kit of academic, and life experience to counselling, beginning many years ago in Psychology and Criminology.

I work with adults with a wide range of concerns (please see below).

I am an open minded, non-judgemental, empathetic, and a life experienced counsellor who knows that life can have it's ups and downs, and that we may struggle to find our voice and feel overwhelmed.

I prefer to offer a range of therapies and techniques rather than a 'one size fits all' to tailor to your individual concerns.

Sometimes it is important to focus on ourselves for a while, this does not mean me first it means me too. 

My mission is to provide a therapeutic, client led counselling service to those who wish to improve their quality of life, and to gain better understanding of themselves.

As a trauma therapist - and draw from the three phase Trauma model, and practice integrating the Flash, Rewind and Dream Completion techniques. 

I also work with adults who have experience of adoption, foster, and the care system, and I am an Emotional Freedom Technique advanced practitioner (EFT-tapping therapy).

I offer a safe space to explore you, your feelings and emotions, and for you to explore what your concerns are.

Counselling can be long or short term, and is very much depending on your individual needs, and the nature of your concern.
