Sue | Integrative Psychotherapy - Psychotherapy for women

Counselling and Psychotherapy London

My name is Sue. I am an experienced BACP registered psychotherapist in the London NW1 area. I work in a collaborative way. The relationship we develop becomes as important as the therapeutic interventions I make. This enables trust to develop between us, with the goal of you becoming empowered to make the changes you would like in your life.

Who I work with

I specialise in working with women who have depression, anxiety, stress, anger issues, addictions, low self esteem, relationship difficulties, or who wish to explore and deal with trauma and abuse from their past and the impact it is having in their lives today. I have expertise in and I am certified in the clinical treatment of clients who present with complex psychological trauma.

I believe the key to healing is not just knowing what happened - your story - but in supporting you to transform how your mind, body and soul still remembers it. This includes bringing to consciousness how the patterns you have established at an early age are negatively impacting on your life today and are no longer serving you well. I then support you to release those patterns and to heal, change and grow. 

How we work together

Once you've sent me a message I get back to you the same day and we set up a free initial on-line consultation. In this consultation we focus on your reasons/feelings for seeking therapy, any feelings/behaviours you might be worried about, your goals for therapy and any questions you have about therapy, about me and how I work. 

If we both feel we can work together, we then schedule your first therapy session and agree how often we are going to meet. We usually meet weekly, at the same time for 60 minutes.

Through the relationship we develop, you will increase your understanding and as a result, your own ability to change. We will identify together the root causes of the issues that you present and I will support you to re-frame the meaning you attach to what has happened to you.

More about me

I have spent my career in the public sector as a nurse, in higher education as an educator, in a national charity as a senior lead for learning and improvement and at Board level in three different health care organisations as a Non-Executive. I have also volunteered as a psychotherapist at a Women's Centre in Liverpool.

​

I have developed my psychotherapy practice alongside these roles and bring this wide range of experience and wisdom to my practice. I have 6 years experience as a psychotherapist and I keep up to date with cutting edge psycho-therapeutic practice particularly in the field of complex trauma.

I have fostered a deep insight into the interconnectedness between our mind, our emotions, our bodies and our health and how the relationships around us impact upon our sense of wellbeing. This understanding guides my practice.

If you believe you would like to explore how we can work together then please send me a message. I will get back to you and we will set up our first online meeting.
