Susie Barber

I offer in-person sessions in Ealing, a short walk from Ealing Broadway station. I am open to discussing the option of online ZOOM sessions also, if you are unable to attend in person. 

My working hours are Monday - Saturday 9am-6pm. 

I am an experienced counsellor who provides an empathic, supportive, and non-judgemental space in which an authentic dialogue can develop to explore what’s going on for you. I aim to help you navigate your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to deepen your awareness of how it is to be you. I believe that in an empathic and safe therapeutic relationship, you can access your inner resources to help you heal and grow.

I understand how daunting it can be asking for help and sometimes it’s not clear what needs to change in your life to help you feel better. In your own time, we can work together to better understand this.

My training is in different modalities which I integrate and adapt to meet the needs of the individual. This may involve focusing on a current issue, looking at how past experiences may be playing out in your present, and considering the impact of external social and cultural influences. I will work to understand your specific needs and expectations, and how we can create a therapeutic relationship which feels safe and helpful to you.

I work with adults 18+ across a diversity of presenting issues, cultural backgrounds, and identities.

I have experience working with anxiety, depression, loss, low self-esteem, sexual issues, childhood trauma, domestic abuse, and sexual abuse. I have a specialist interest in childhood trauma and abuse which I have gained years of knowledge and experience in through working in safeguarding. After heavily researching the topic during my counselling training, I have applied that learning to successfully helping several clients. 

In our first session we will explore what brings you to counselling, your hopes and expectations, and how we might work together. It is an opportunity for you to get a sense of whether you feel comfortable enough to engage in counselling.
