Susan Scupham

During the COVID-19 pandemic I can offer you sessions via telephone or secure video link.

Concessions for NHS front line staff and key workers are available.

To support you during the pandemic I can be flexible with appointments such as early morning sessions, evenings and at weekends, in addition to normal session times.

Once the pandemic has passed and it is safe for us to meet we can move to face to face sessions if you would prefer.

Hi, my name is Susan and I have 20 years experience as a psychotherapist working with people with a range of challenging life issues and mental health problems. I have been accredited with the BACP since 2004. I am also a Bupa Healthcare registered therapist.

I have worked clinically with children, young people and adults within school, college, agencies and NHS settings.

I am trained to doctoral level in psychotherapy and have a post graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Please see my website for a full list of my qualifications and training.

I have a specialism in bereavement, anxiety disorders, depression and work related stress.

Whether this is the first time you have considered having therapy or you have had previous experience, finding the right therapist can be daunting. I would be happy to speak with you to discuss any concerns you may have and for us to see if we can work together.

Seeking help is a sign of strength and a step in the right direction to reclaiming your life. My hope is that together, we can explore your difficulties, gain insight and find solutions to help you feel better.
