Susan Gaughan

I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor with experience working in the NHS as well as private practice.

I provide a safe, calm and confidential environment, where you can identify, explore and work through the things that are troubling you. Through the relationship between us, I aim to help you discover and develop new ways of approaching life; ways which are less compromised by past patterns that contribute to your distress and suffering in the present.

People have commonly sought help from me when struggling with emotional problems such as:

feeling stressed or anxious

coming to terms with losses such as bereavement, separation, or redundancy

lacking confidence, self-esteem or having feelings of underachievement

an inability to make or sustain good relationships

repeatedly becoming involved in unsatisfactory or destructive relationships

feeling depressed, sad or empty

lacking a sense of purpose in life

having unresolved issues from the past

difficulties relating to sexuality

coming to terms with, or addressing ones identity as LGBTQ+

problems at work

family conflicts

My private practice is based in Ilford in the borough of Redbridge.  I am right next to the train station and there are many bus routes to surrounding areas including Stratford, Walthamstow, Barking, Romford, etc.

I also work online using Zoom.
