Suzy Michaels

I now have some daytime availability either online or in-person.

Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships, feeling overwhelmed by emotions you don't fully understand, or struggling with experiences from your past that still affect you today?

I offer a warm, confidential space where we can explore what you are experiencing at your own pace. My approach is gentle but thoughtful, and together, we can begin to understand how earlier relationships may be influencing how you feel about yourself and relate to others today. We can explore the patterns that leave you feeling stuck, alongside the parts of yourself that may have learned to cope by pleasing others, pushing feelings away, being self-critical or staying constantly on guard.

Where helpful, our work can include stabilisation and inner child exploration, allowing difficult experiences to be approached with care rather than overwhelm.

I offer open-ended therapy for people who want more than short-term coping strategies: a space to develop self-understanding, make sense of old wounds and gradually discover different ways of relating to yourself and others.

There is no pressure to share everything at once or know exactly what you need before beginning. We can work collaboratively, at a pace that feels manageable for you.

If you are considering therapy, you are welcome to get in touch.

My self-awareness, knowledge, and skills have developed throughout my clinical practice. I am an inclusive practitioner, fully trained and well-informed, and I respect clients' values, beliefs, cultures, and lifestyles. I regularly commit to continual professional development as there is always more to learn.

I hold an Accredited BACP membership, which demonstrates a higher standard of competence, ethics, and inclusivity. I adhere to the BACP's Ethical Framework for Good Practice and their Online and Phone Therapy (OPT) competence framework. I hold full professional indemnity and public liability insurance and have an up-to-date enhanced DBS certificate. I also have a background in the education sector, mainly in secondary school settings.

This will help us better understand what brought you to therapy, while paying close attention to how comfortable you feel.

I offer a free 30-minute telephone or online conversation to discuss your needs. The initial 50-minute consultation also allows you the time to decide if you feel comfortable enough to continue with weekly sessions. 

Once agreed, we will meet on the same day, at the same time, and go at a pace that's right for you.

I have a dedicated downstairs room with a separate entrance, with one small step over the threshold. There is a toilet, but unfortunately, it cannot be accessed via a wheelchair.

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.

While limited, I now have some daytime availability either online or in person.
