Susanne Barthelmes

I offer face-to-face, online or telephone counselling in a warm, confidential, non-judgemental and accepting atmosphere so you can explore what’s going on and find a way forward. Free initial 30min getting-to-know appointments available.

At some stage in our lives we may all hit a low point or crisis. Depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, separation, bereavement, illness, relationship issues, work-related issues and other profound life challenges can leave us feeling sad, distraught, helpless or hopeless. Counselling offers you confidential and safe space to talk. It supports you in developing ways to cope and improve things.

I am an experienced, qualified and BACP, ACTO, and ICO registered counsellor and work with a person-centred, integrative approach to meet your individual needs. I will meet you with empathy, impartiality, curiosity and without judgement.

I work in private practice from modern, comfortable and easily accessible premises in West Worthing. I also work nationally and internationally via Zoom or by phone. Day-time and evening appointments available.

Choosing a fitting counsellor to work with can be daunting. Call or email me to arrange for an initial session to find out if you feel comfortable working with me. A 30-minute 'getting-to-know' session is free and without obligation.

I initially see clients for a no-obligation 30-minute getting-to-know session. It allows us both to find out if we are a good fit to work together. Getting-to-know sessions can be in-person or via Zoom.
