I currently have space on a Monday and Friday 9.30am until 2.50pm. There is a possibility of evening work if space is available. Sessions are online, by telephone or via walk and talk in the proximity of Selby at present.

Hi, I am Susie, a friendly counsellor/psychotherapist who has experience of working with a diverse range of clients within a confidential environment. For me, the heart of counselling is a good relationship between client and counsellor. This helps to create a safe and respectful setting for exploration, reflection and understanding of what is important to you. As we are all individual and unique, people will naturally need different things from counselling. I use an integrative, person-centred approach which means that we can work together in a way which best suits you, drawing from different techniques which will support you through the process of counselling. I will help you to reflect and explore to find your own solutions and your own methods of overcoming challenges. It may feel daunting making contact and clients have frequently described their worry about being judged in therapy. The space we will hold together will be non-judgemental and my aim is to understand how things feel for you so we can work through any difficult aspects of life. I have previously been involved in Education so have many years of experience with teachers and young people.

All sessions last 50 minutes and will be by telephone or online. I believe that it is essential to have a good working relationship. This is about you feeling comfortable and that we can work collaboratively together moving forward. The first session will be a chance for us to ascertain what you would like from the sessions, and we will complete some aspects that will hold a safe space for you. I encourage clients to book weekly or block book the sessions so there is continuity in our work. I can do both short and long-term work and we will go at your pace and gauge how you feel as we progress. We will agree to a working contract to ensure that I am working professionally and abide by the BACP ethical framework for good practice.

I offer a free telephone or online 15-minute consultation to see if you would like to work with me. This is a no obligation opportunity to ask me questions and to see if I would be a good match for your needs.
