About Sue
Experience:
Over the years I have become deeply interested in what it is to be human - How we make meaningful connections with others. How we find a place of belonging. How we find peace with ourself.
My career started as a social worker in the Criminal Justice System. I also have experience working in the charity sector supporting single parents and people who are HIV positive.
As a therapist I work with a wide range of problems including relationship issues, anxiety and work stress, depression, life crises, low self esteem, sexuality and sexual difficulties, trauma, and feelings of shame and disconnect.
Whatever is brought, needing to be explored, I will bring myself, in an engaged, curious therapeutic approach.. My integrative style embraces psychodynamic, humanistic, and body based psychotherapy. Over the years I have developed an integrative style which puts you at the centre. This means I can work in a way which is responsive to you, the issues that you bring and how it feels to be together trying to work a way through.
