Sukie Dennis

Your well-being is my priority, and I strive to make our counselling sessions as accessible and convenient for you as possible. Currently, I offer face-to-face sessions on Friday afternoons and evenings, providing a comfortable space for us to connect and explore your concerns. Additionally, I provide telephone and online counselling throughout the week, with flexible scheduling to accommodate your busy lifestyle.

In the event that I am unavailable for a session, whether due to unforeseen circumstances or planned time off, rest assured that I will notify you as soon as possible. Your time is valuable, and you will not be charged for in these instances. Transparency and open communication are central to our therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to keeping you informed every step of the way.

Please note that I typically take two weeks off over the Christmas period, one week during Easter and some time off during early autumn. These breaks allow me to recharge and maintain the high quality of care that you deserve. During these times, I will work with you to reschedule appointments or provide alternative support options to ensure continuity of care. 

I'm a fully-qualified, BACP-registered counsellor specialising in anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family issues and support for those with ADHD. I can also help you navigate relational challenges, whether that's with yourself or others. Through collaborative therapeutic work, I aim to empower you to explore and reframe your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a non-judgmental, understanding and restorative way.

Everyone has the capacity for self-awareness, growth and healing, and I strive to create a therapeutic relationship in which you feel heard, understood and valued. Explore your concerns, gain insight into your experiences and develop more fulfilling ways of living, whether you're looking for short or long-term therapy.

From relational challenges to navigating life's stressors, I provide compassionate guidance and encouragement every step of the way. Together, we can work towards creating a more peaceful and meaningful life. I'm committed to providing a safe and caring environment where you can share your thoughts, feelings and experiences, and I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your specific needs and goals.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing and personal growth, I invite you to take the first step towards positive change. You deserve to feel heard and empowered to explore your concerns, uncover your strengths and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself.

I offer face-to-face sessions as well as online counselling, with flexible, out of hours appointments available. 

Utilising an integrative framework, I draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities, including humanistic counselling, CBT and solution-focused approaches. This allows me to tailor my interventions to your unique needs and preferences, creating a holistic and personalised treatment plan. By blending these modalities, you'll get a comprehensive experience that addresses all aspects of your well-being—mental, emotional and behavioural. 

Together, we'll explore your challenges and goals, identifying strategies that resonate with you. Whether it's delving into the root causes of your issues, developing practical coping skills or envisioning a brighter future, our sessions will be guided by your unique journey and aspirations.

Through our partnership, we'll navigate obstacles and pave the way for positive change. I believe in your resilience and capacity for growth, and together, we'll empower you on your path towards healing and fulfilment. Collaboratively, we'll find ways to help you move towards a more meaningful, and peaceful, life.

During our initial session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we'll embark on the journey of understanding your needs and goals. Prior to this, I offer a complimentary half-hour consultation session, either over the phone or online, where we can briefly connect and discuss your concerns.

In your first paid session, we'll dive deeper into getting to know each other. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking counselling, your hopes for our work together and any specific aims you may have. 

To ensure that our collaboration is effective, we'll undertake a brief assessment to gain a clearer understanding of your current situation and identify areas that may require attention. This will help us tailor our approach to meet your unique needs and preferences.

Throughout, you are encouraged to share openly and honestly about your experiences, thoughts and feelings. Your input is invaluable in shaping the direction of our work together as we explore potential strategies and interventions that align with your goals and values.

By the end of the session, we'll have collaboratively developed a plan for how we'll work together moving forward. This may include setting specific ambitions, outlining the frequency and duration of our sessions and any preferences or expectations you may have regarding the therapeutic process.

Overall, your first session is an opportunity for us to lay the groundwork for our therapeutic journey together.
