Suzanne Burgon

I currently have availability.

My working hours are Monday to Friday 10.00 am to 6.30 pm.

 I am an experienced integrative counsellor, having worked within the NHS, the private sector and in private practice for a number of years. I use a variety of counselling approaches to suit each of my clients' needs, including CBT(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). Most importantly, I place a great deal of emphasis on offering all my clients warmth and understanding and on developing a trusting, confidential relationship.

We can all find ourselves facing difficult situations at various times in our lives and sometimes having someone to listen is all we need. I offer a safe environment for my clients to discover and explore options, choices and ways of coping. My job is to come alongside my clients as they face life's challenges and find resolutions or simply peace.

I work in Tamworth on all week days

I offer face to face and on-line counselling sessions for those clients who are unable to come to Tamworth or who would prefer not to.

I also offer a free 15 minute introductory telephone call without obligation.

This session is an important 'getting to know you' session with a small amount of paperwork and is our opportunity to talk through how we may wish to work together going forward.  This session is charged at my usual fee.

Supervision profile

I offer integrative clinical supervision for counsellors, holding a National Counselling Society Certificate in Supervision and providing a safe space to explore working and growing as practitioners. I would aim to be able to encourage supervisees in expressing their needs and increasing their self-awareness as a therapist, particularly in areas such as how style, personality, authenticity, and modality can impact on the therapy they offer. I believe it is important to be able to bring all of you to supervision, as all of you can affect your work with clients.

I provide contracted support based on supervisee and/or client focus and the maintenance of ethical professional standards. I hope to enable supervisees to increase competency and potential, as well as facilitate empowerment through nurture, confidence building and wellbeing.

My supervisory practice, as with my clinical work, is underpinned by the core conditions of empathy, respect and authenticity and my personal philosophies & values of warmth, care and compassion for others, promoting sound professional relationships.

I offer face to face and on-line supervision for those supervisees who are unable to travel to Tamworth or would prefer not to.

Very often a new potential supervisee will choose to have an hour long first session before signing a contract, as a opportunity to establish a working alliance.
