Suzanne Pepperell

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, sad, stuck? Perhaps you're not even sure where you are emotionally, but life just doesn't seem to be working out the way you want it to? Are you wondering what you can do to move forward?

If you’re struggling with your feelings and emotions, and life seems overwhelming, now may be the right time to find a confidential, non-judgemental person to talk things through with: someone who really listens, and who can help you understand how you can regain power over what’s bothering you.

I am a BACP Registered Counsellor offering online and face-to-face therapy sessions for those experiencing all kinds of issues. I can offer you a quiet place where you can feel safe to talk about anything and everything, in complete confidentiality. 

I am an LGBTQI+ ally.

I have worked with all sorts of presenting issues, including Attachment Issues, Bereavement and Loss, Life Transitions (moving house, making career changes, parenting problems, divorce recovery), Low Self-Esteem & Sexual Identity. Clients have come feeling stressed and anxious, or suffering from low self-esteem.  

I have a particular interest in Adult Adoption issues: searching, rejection, loss, reunions, navigating new and old relationships, and finding a new sense of self in a complex situation.  

I hold a BA(Hons) in Integrative-Relational Counselling and as a member of the BACP, I adhere to strict rules about working ethically and safely with all clients. 

Every person is unique, so your counselling experience will be tailor-made to your requirements. Whatever you want to talk about - big or small - nothing is off-limits. I listen without judging.  

I work with my clients in a relational style to discover the origins of their problems, what the obstacles to their progress may be, and what they can do to overcome them. We always work at YOUR pace. Sometimes I offer a gentle challenge, to prompt and help you think things through, but you are always in charge.

I offer single-session therapy (a one-off, longer session which can be useful if you perhaps just have the one big decision or choice to make), regular short-term or long-term work and top-ups, for when you just feel the need to check back in. If you wish, I can take on the role of coach, which is a slightly different way of working, but may be what you need. It will be entirely your choice.

I have a particular interest in the following areas:

• Adult Adoptee Issues

• Attachment Theory

• Bereavement and Loss

• Life Transitions: moving house, career changes, parenting,    marriage, divorce.

• Low Self-Esteem

• Sexual Identity

• Stress and Anxiety
