Susan Venables

I currently have availability for in-person, online and telephone clients.  I provide in-person support at a number of local locations, all easily accessible.  Nationally I offer online and telephone support.

I know that potential clients may work during the day, and therefore I happily offer evening and weekend appointments.

Let me take a moment to introduce who I am and what it is I do. I'm a qualified integrative counsellor, who is committed to working with you over a period of time to help you better understand yourself, your emotions and goals. I aim to provide a counselling service that is accessible to everyone. If you are feeling overwhelmed, troubled or unable to cope - for whatever reason, I may be able to help and support.

I am completely impartial in my approach and will openly and empathetically listen to you. Our environment is safe, non-discriminative and confidential, so you may explore your troubles without burden or fear of being judged.  

Together we can unravel your experiences to help you understand your deep-rooted feelings and empower you to resolve them. You are unique and my approach is personalised to suit you.  

I offer a free initial telephone session that lasts approximately 20 minutes.

Supervision sessions currently run online. 

After January 2024, I will be able to offer in-person 121 and group supervision.

I know potential supervisee's may work/study during the week, and therefore I happily offer evening and weekend sessions.

I am a trained Supervisor, undertaking my training with Cruse Bereavement Support, the course being approved by the NCPS.

I provide supervision for trainee's and counsellors, and work with the Seven-Eyed Supervision Model as a focus.

Supervision is critical to making sure your practice remains ethical and safe.  I can support you with working creatively with a range of concerns.  Helping you identify professional development needs and personal support requirements.  Explore safely your thoughts and reactions to your client work.  Along with understanding and working with your clients fears, blocks and resistances.
