Susan (Sue) is known for her warmth and empathy in her practise as a counsellor and supervisor. She uses a variety of approaches – particularly those that have a relational, person-centred focus and that help people experience, understand and respond to their emotions, thoughts and behaviours most effectively. She is passionate about facilitating change and renewal by identifying a person’s strengths, values and hopes as well as things that get in the way of healthy functioning and relationships. With children she favours Gestalt play therapy and expressive, creative approaches. With adults and teens, she applies talk therapy – Person-Centred, Narrative and Gestalt – as well as expressive techniques, according to the counselling needs of the client. Her research into the role of nature/the natural world in mental health and wellbeing opens up opportunity for clients to experience nature-therapy, if they choose to.
