“Susan helped me through a difficult and tumultuous period of my life. Through her I learned how to have greater self-love and compassion and I am still finding personal transformation through these tools. What I liked most about Susan was her natural and affable manner, I found we had a great rapport and it felt like I was talking to a close friend.”

“I started counselling with Susan about 5 months ago and I can honestly say it has been life-changing.
In the beginning, I was plagued with anxiety and depression, unable to attend my work, in a constant cycle of negative thoughts and this was really impacting upon my relationships with others, but most of all with myself.
Throughout our sessions, Susan has been incredible. She is such an attentive listener, very supportive, calming and she always knows the right thing to say... it’s like having a chat with your best friend!
Susan, quickly helped me identify the root causes of my anxiety and she has given me strategies to not only cope but to now have confidence.
As a result of my therapy, I am now experiencing activities I would never have dreamt of even trying before working with Susan.
Using Susan’s help and guidance, I have been able to be kind to myself, change negative thought processing to positive helpful thoughts, have better relations with family and friends but most of all I have been able to give love to myself.”

“I had been thinking about going for some counselling for a while. I had already tried some self-help reading/podcasts over the years, but felt these had only taken me so far. I was looking to understand myself better and why I think/react/behave in certain ways. I wasn’t sure how to find the right person, but feel so lucky that I came across Susan’s website. I found the sessions really helpful. At times I felt like the things I was concerned about were so trivial, but Susan was so compassionate and helped me navigate through these. I learned to be more compassionate to myself. If I needed some more support, I wouldn’t hesitate in getting back in touch with Susan again.
Thanks for your help Susan. I’m managing well now and I just want to say thanks so much for your help. The compassion you showed me was really valuable to me….and you can have a wee giggle to know that as I’m typing this, I’m crying and laughing 😂 but I can now accept it about myself (maybe even learning to love it about myself), rather than judge myself.
Thanks again, “
“Susan always listens with empathy, and then helps me rationalise my thoughts and feelings using various tools and techniques. She is a big reason I am now able to better manage my symptoms. I’m very grateful I found her.”

“My sessions with Susan came at a critical point in my life. Some 11 months earlier I lost my mother to cancer and threw myself into my work and young family. Things came to a head and even although I was highly skeptical about therapy, I was at a stage where I thought "what do I have to lose?" and I am so glad that I took the leap.
Susan was very caring, kind and non judgemental, which made a very tough subject a lot easier to discuss head on. Susan has helped me, to become more emotionally aware and this has helped me to process what I am actually feeling.
I would like to personally thank Susan for helping me navigate, what felt like an insurmountable obstacle, to which, there was no overcoming. I am now in a much better place and a lot happier as a result and I would have no hesitation recommending her.”

TL - Female -26 - Anxiety and depression - 14 one hour sessions
“I was introduced to Susan after a colleague recommended her. My mood had deteriorated so much that I felt unable to cope with daily life or work and couldn’t envisage that I would ever feel happy again. I had experienced low mood in the past but this time I knew I needed help.
Susan helped me to realise that its all about the way you react to something, and that you can change your thought processes. I was able get out of that perpetual cycle of negative thoughts and was able to recognise that I had the power to change things.
I am so grateful to Susan for giving me the tools to be a better, calmer, more confident version of myself.
I now feel happy most of the time and when I don’t, I know how to deal with it.
Many thanks Susan
