A Warm Welcome to Sage Therapies Preston Lancashire

​I know life  can sometimes feel heavy, we've all experienced that, the overwhelm, sadness, pain  and loss - these feelings are difficult to navigate alone. Whether you are dealing with a specific life transition, emotional distress, or alcohol addiction  or substance misuse, you don't have to carry all that by yourself.

​I am Suzanne Alder (Suzi), a BACP-registered Person-Centred Counsellor, Registered Mental Health Nurse, and holistic therapist. My practice is built on a foundation of genuine warmth, no judgment, and deep compassion— i can give you a safe, confidential space where you can truly exhale, be yourself, and explore whatever is on your mind.

​My Background & Experience

​With 20 years of clinical experience as a Registered Mental Health Nurse, much of my specialist career has been dedicated to supporting individuals through alcohol and drug addiction, substance misuse, and complex recovery journeys.

​I understand how deeply intertwined emotional well-being, physical health, and life experiences can be. Because of this background, I offer a grounded and deeply empathetic understanding of trauma, dependency, anxiety, and low self-worth. You will find no stigma here—just a steady, supportive presence walking alongside you at your own pace.

​How We Can Work Together

​As a Level 4 Person-Centred Therapist -

​I help adults navigate a wide range of challenges

​Addiction, substance use

​Anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and emotional burnout

Menopause

Relationship difficulties 

​Low self-esteem, confidence issues

​Life transitions, grief, loss, and difficult personal relationships

​My Approach

 I offer a uniquely supportive space that honors your whole self—mind, body, and emotional well-being. Whenever you feel ready, I invite you to get in touch for an initial chat to see if we'd be a good fit to work together.

​Warmly,

Suzi

True healing often requires looking at the whole person, not just the mind, I know this more than most.  In my practice i try to combine my life experience, my nursing caring skills and knowledge, my counselling and holistic therapies to offer quite a unique therapeutic experience. In addition to talking therapy, I am a qualified holistic therapist offering a range of complementary treatments designed to soothe the nervous system, release physical tension, and restore balance:

​Reflexology: A deeply relaxing treatment working on reflex points in the feet to support the body's natural healing processes and relieve stress.

​Reiki: A gentle energy healing practice that promotes deep relaxation, emotional clearing, and inner peace.

​Indian Head Massage: A wonderful therapeutic treatment focusing on the head, neck, shoulders, and face to release physical knots, calm the mind, and ease tension.

​Aromatherapy: The therapeutic use of pure essential oils to uplift, ground, or soothe your physical and emotional state.

​Whether you choose standalone holistic therapies, pure talking therapy, or a blended approach that honors both physical relaxation and emotional processing, your care is always tailored uniquely to you.
