My Approach

Hi, my name is Sue (she/her), I am an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, with many years of experience in statutory and charitable organisations and in private practice.

People seek my help with a diverse range of issues, reflecting the uniqueness of each of us. Often, behind this diversity sit common themes and challenges at the heart of being human and finding a meaningful, and connected life.

I see my role as helping you to make sense of what is troubling you. I will help you explore your relational patterns, and the cultural and societal expectations which have shaped you. We will start to understand how your individual history and experiences have influenced who you know yourself to be and how you are in the world - how they impact your self beliefs, how they play out in the ways you relate to yourself and others, and what you expect for yourself.

In my experience deepening our understanding of ourselves in this way makes space for new choices and freer ways of being in the world. This is ultimately enlivening and life affirming.

My style is open and down to earth. We may laugh, cry, challenge one another - but always with tenderness and respect for the pain and the humanity in our task.

About Me

I provide short and long term therapy both online and face to face in central London and Brighton.

As a relational therapist I believe the most profound change occurs in experience, most powerfully in relational experience. I know the healing in voicing our thoughts and feelings; being seen and understood; finding permission to say out loud and explore that which feels unspeakable elsewhere; sharing our truth with another and letting our experience live and truly be known.

I practice from a place of being alongside - we swim in the same water - my expertise is as a guide, asking the right questions, bringing tenderness where there has been judgment, looking from new angles and fundamentally allowing everything voice and a right to be.

Beautifully, in my work, I so often see healing way beyond that which was hoped for.

If you're interested in exploring how it might feel to work together, please do get in touch.
