Please ask and I am sure we can work something out when to meet, that is convenient for both of us. 

I do prefer face to face therapy.

Hi I'm Sue. This is Time just for you... to pause and ponder, and help you to find your own path. The initial session is FREE. Saying things out loud can help untangle thoughts and open gates to new ways. Whilst there are many issues that arise in life, which could be similar to others. Your own actual circumstances and feelings are unique to you and important. 

I have a level 6, BA (Hons) Degree in Counselling. 

I am currently with a local hospice, and offer bereavement counselling for individual family members and help run bereavement groups. Have worked in Probation, Age UK and Pregnancy Crisis centres, supporting unexpected pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth and abortion.

I also offer Pet Bereavement, Blue Cross trained. 

I specialise in loss, grief, bereavement counselling, which actually connects through many changes in life and circumstances - university, work, bullying, redundancy, financial issues, relationship break ups, fall outs, abuse, illness, accidents, unwanted pregnancy, loss of pet, leaving home / empty nest, widowed, moving to another country, going into care or being a carer...

Life difficulties can create anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, depression, feeling constantly tired, weary and disappointed with life, fed up and lost, lonely in a crowd, why me feelings, low self-esteem and confidence, feeling trapped and unsure about the future, suicidal thoughts... and I am sure you are thinking of many more and experiencing some.

The Person-Centred approach which I use, believes that you have your own answers within; and given the right conditions and environment you can use your own intuition and motivational drive to move your life forward. You lead, not me. 

Being open, honest and non-judgemental builds trust that enables self-awareness, growth and change.

The relationship we develop is the therapy, the exploration gives personal understanding and hope.  

I hire a room locally and offer the first initial session FREE.  Subsequent sessions to be once a week on the same day and time. If you can't make a particular session and want a different day or time, I am happy to be flexible and discuss this. 

The amount of sessions are down to you, but I usually suggest about six, but it can be less or more, and reviewed regularly. 

It is about your time and what you want to discuss, explore, understand, influence or change. 

Time to pause, take a deep breath, be still and hear yourself think; and maybe open a gate that might be blocking your direction. 

I can be a sounding board for a particular problem that might just take one or two sessions.

I believe in the power of self-awareness, discovery, informed choices and acceptance, rather than feeling stuck or trapped. We all need some form of dream and hope. 

Working together, being alongside you, offering care and support can help bring about changes. 

I offer the first session FREE and after that sessions will be £40 - but concessions can be discussed or a monetary reduction if a certain amount of sessions are booked and paid for upfront. Please ask and we can discuss options. 

This will be a chance to meet for 50 minutes and give you time to share what brings you to therapy, see how I work and whether we feel comfortable and could work together. 

At some point in this first session, if you want to go ahead with further sessions. I would complete an assessment, as its important to know some formal information and contact details. There will also be a contract to sign.  

Future session payments are due, either as cash at the end of the session or bank transfer within 24 hours after the session. An invoice will be provided if required.
