Susan Hume

I am available Wednesday and Thursday each week, from 10a.m. until 4pm and I also offer some weekend and evening appointments. 

I am a qualified and experienced psychotherapist. I am accredited by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I offer therapy online or by telephone, on a short-term or medium-term basis, in addition to long-term open-ended therapy. I work with people from age eighteen years, through to older adults, and from a range of social and cultural backgrounds. I follow the Ethical Framework established by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

My focus is to help you to overcome the problems that the impact of life experiences can cause. Whether this is related to a current experience or one that is from earlier in your life, or perhaps from childhood. My aim is to help you resolve the issues and to move towards achieving your personal goals.

I use a number of approaches, in order to help you and my approach will be tailored to your specific needs. My aim is to offer you a space in which you feel understood and safe enough to share your experiences and feelings. I provide an LGBTQ safe space.

It takes courage to seek help, to take a step towards bringing about changes, particularly at a time when you may feel this is not possible, and that there is no hope for the future and no solution to the problems you are facing.

Perhaps you are thinking there is no point in seeking help, because history cannot be changed. However, working together, we can explore and change how you feel about your experiences and what you believe about yourself.

Taking the first step to contacting me and committing to working with me, may seem daunting and you may wish to check that I am the right person for you, and so I offer a free twenty-minute consultation, either on the phone or via Skype. This session is designed to help you to decide if you want to work with me.

I am able to offer online or telephone sessions, on a short-term and long-term basis, in addition to open-ended therapy.

My mobile number is 07469 951141. If I do not respond to your call immediately, please leave your name and phone number and I will return your call within 48 hours. I look forward to hearing from you.

I offer reduced rates to individuals who have been in the care system and those on a reduced income, or reliant on state benefits.
