Suzy Michaels

 I currently have online or face-to-face availability at present. 

Hello and thank you for visiting my page.

Finding the right person and taking those first steps may feel quite daunting, especially if you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, and a deep sense of threat, or if you’re in the midst of a bereavement or relationship breakdown. Confusing emotions may be evoked, you may be finding unhelpful ways to deal with stress, or you might not even really know what's causing you to feel a sense of loss, but whatever has prompted you to seek therapy, I can offer a confidential comfortable space to be truly listened to, by someone empathetic and non-judgmental.

Not only will we think about your current issues, but we'll look at what lies rooted in the past and how you cope today. By making sense of your experiences, a deeper level of awareness and self-acceptance can be found, bringing more meaning to your life.

I see individuals from 16+ and I hold a postgraduate diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling. As a certified Trauma-Informed Therapist at level 6, I can provide support with PTSD & CPTSD symptoms and help you be 'here' instead of 'there'.

My knowledge and skills have developed throughout my work in private practice, and I believe there is always something new to learn, whether that be conversations about race, working with trauma, neurodiversity, gender, sexuality, identity, and otherness, the list goes on, so I make a regular commitment to continual professional development to be fully trained, inclusive, and well informed.

I am also trained in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Gently tapping on the correct pressure points can help tune into these uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, troubling memories, and phobias, where healing and relief can be found, and anxiety can lessen.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice. I hold full professional indemnity and public liability insurance and have an up-to-date DBS certificate.

I have valuable experience in private practice and volunteering within the charitable sector. I currently run a busy clinical practice while continuing to develop my own awareness. Prior to working as a Counsellor, my background has been in the education sector working mainly in secondary school settings.

I have a dedicated room with its own access - it is a downstairs room, with one small step over the threshold. Unfortunately, the toilet cannot be accessed via a wheelchair.

If you would like to discuss your needs, I offer a free 30-minute telephone or online conversation. Our first 50-minute initial consultation will also allow you the time to decide if you feel comfortable enough to continue with weekly sessions and once agreed, we will meet on the same day, at the same time, and go at a pace that's right for you.

I am happy to answer any questions via phone or email and if you leave a message, I will respond once I become available and within working hours.

I currently have availability for online or face-to-face sessions.
