Suzanne Crowdell

I currently have availability for online or face to face counselling weekday evenings from 5pm or Saturday mornings from 9am.

I am based in Colchester, CO1 and Sudbury, CO10 for face to face appointments.

I understand that life can at times feel overwhelming, challenges can seem stressful and anxiety can build. I believe that counselling can help you to understand why you think, feel and act the way you do. Counselling can help you understand your situation. It can also help you with finding a route to change, acceptance or personal growth. However each reason for seeking counselling is different, and I will be guided by what you bring to work collaboratively with you. 

I qualified as an Integrative Counsellor in November 2023 following 4 years training. During placement I built up extensive experience of supporting people with a wide range of emotional needs. I continue this work in my current therapy practice. I have also had experience working for a local charity providing bereavement support in the community.

In my counselling practice I use a blend of Person Centred, Psychodynamic and CBT counselling styles to listen empathically to you and provide space for you to talk.

The sessions that I offer are client led, meaning that I will listen to what you bring in a non-judgmental way to offer you a confidential space to talk and explore where you are at. The counselling styles I use in the session will help to gently navigate thoughts, emotions and behaviours that might be unhelpful or holding you back.

I believe finding the right therapist for you is incredibly important, being able to sit with someone you feel comfortable with whilst you focus on your personal development is essential.

I offer an initial 20 minute initial telephone consultation at no charge, so you can get a feel for how it is for us to talk together. 

Following our phone call if you decide you would like to work with me, we will agree on a mutually convenient time and day to meet. 

During the first session I will complete an initial therapy form with you, so you can talk to me about your hopes for your therapy. 

I also offer a blank copy of the counselling contract for you to take away and read so that you know what to expect from the boundaries of our therapy sessions. 

I currently able to offer Face to Face and Online counselling sessions  Monday - Thursday from 5pm, and Saturday morning.

Following our conversation over the phone, if you decide you wish to work with me we will agree on a mutually beneficial day and time to meet each week. 

Each session will be 50 minutes long.

During our first session together I will complete an initial therapy form with you, so that you can tell me a bit more about yourself and what your hopes are for your therapy. 

This form will be shared with you. I also offer a blank copy of my contract for you to take away, as I want to be as transparent with you about what you might expect from the boundaries of our therapy together.
