Susan Breakell

I work during the day time and evenings on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

About me

Are you looking to find a more positive way to manage your life? I am a warm, caring and empathic counsellor working face-to-face and online with individual adults of all ages.

I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. I offer a confidential, safe non-judgemental space to explore with you your path to self-discovery, promoting self-awareness, resilience and transformation.

In my private practice, I work from a designated safe, secure, comfortable consulting room in Forest Row, that provides ample off street parking. I offer short and long term counselling.

I work with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, loss and bereavement, abuse, trauma, relationship problems, divorce and domestic abuse. Also individuals who have experienced cancer diagnosis, who are carers and people affected by a loved one in addiction and disordered eating.

Training, qualifications and experience

I am a registered member of the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework. I have a counselling Diploma in Humanistic Creative Counselling from Dunamis Therapy Hub, Crowborough. As an integrative practitioner, my approach is to work alongside and with you, blending the humanistic theories of person-centred, Gestalt and existential, with creativity if appropriate.

In addition to working in private practice, I work for Horsham and Crawley Counselling Group. Previous placements have included;

NHS Macmillan Cancer Support Counselling Service, Eastbourne

The Pickering Cancer Centre, Tunbridge Wells

North Kent College, Tonbridge

Hadlow Agricultural College

Prior to my training, I worked professionally in an educational environment for nine years, and prior to qualifying, I gained psycho-education in my capacity as a family member at a rehabilitation centre for three years.  

Getting in touch

If you would like to get in touch, please do so via the above contact details. I offer an initial free 20 minute on-line or telephone consultation, to see if what I offer is compatible with your needs. If we agree to work together, my fees are £50 for a 50 minute session.

I offer face to face sessions and on-line consultations, for those who have adequate wifi connection, within a confidential space and prefer this medium.

I look forward to hearing from you.
