About Sue
Experience:
Over the years I have become deeply interested in what it is to be human - How we make meaningful connections with others. How we find a place of belonging. How we find peace with ourself.
My career started as a social worker in the Criminal Justice System. I also have experience working in the charity sector supporting single parents and people who are HIV positive.
As a therapist I work with a wide range of problems including relationship issues, anxiety and work stress, depression, life crises, low self esteem, sexuality and sexual difficulties, trauma, and feelings of shame and disconnect.
Whatever is brought, needing to be explored, I will bring myself, in an engaged, curious therapeutic approach. My integrative style embraces psychodynamic, humanistic, and body based psychotherapy. Over the years I have developed a theraputic style which puts you at the centre. This means I can work in a way which is responsive to you, the issues that you bring and how it feels to be together trying to work a way through.

Next Steps:
Many of us have been hurt and bruised in the different relationships of our life. Finding a therapist, and making a commitment to a relational journey which is as yet unknown, can feel daunting. Yet leading a full and rich life requires our fierce commitment.
If you take this next step, I offer a caring, creative space in which we will explore what we need to heal; what we need to find the ‘more’ in our relationships with ourself, with others and in our ways of being in the world; what we need to find peace and know simply we are ‘enough’.
Please contact me if you want to find out more about how it might feel for us to work together.
