Hello, my name is Susie (she/her) and I am a qualified talking therapy Integrative Counsellor and level 7 trainee psychotherapist.

My passion is to facilitate a safe and confidential space where individuals can explore issues they may be struggling with, to work towards gaining insight, awareness and sometimes resolution. Together we navigate what is quite often uncomfortable and distressing thoughts, feelings and behaviour to find a better path to improve mental health and wellbeing.

I see both my professional and personal life experiences as a positive resource to call upon, which I hope means I can accompany people with all sorts of challenges in a kind, empathic, authentic and compassionate manner.

Over the years I have studied Psychology, Transactional Analysis (a theory of personality and communication), Neuro-linguistic Programming (the study of how our beliefs impact our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour), Timeline & Hypno-therapy amongst other interventions. Most recently I’ve completed an advanced training in email counselling, which is becoming more popular, especially for people who work irregular hours, or for various reasons find they are unable to commit to a rigid day/time or feel awkward being seen or heard.

I’ve been in clinical practice for several years now, working with a range of issues and presentations. At the moment, I offer short and long-term contracts with people face-to-face (F2F) for Kent Association for the Blind, and privately on-line over zoom, or by phone. Since recently finishing my advanced training in email counselling I’m happy to offer this too. There are times when clients have found it helpful to switch between modalities i.e. going from F2F to zoom.
