Sue Perks

Sue Perks is a counsellor with over 10 years of experience. She offers a warm, non-judgemental presence so people can talk through worries and begin to make changes. Sue uses a client-led style and works at each person's pace.

She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship problems, bereavement and loss, and trauma. Issues around identity and sexuality are part of her practice, including support for LGBT people.

Sue describes an integrative way of working. That means she draws on different ideas and adapts them to what each person needs. She emphasises building an open, trusting relationship as the first step toward change.

Practical difficulties like low self-esteem, anger and overwhelm are addressed in clear, everyday terms. She also works with people facing life changes, career worries, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. Attention to attachment, abandonment and communication problems is offered when relevant.

Autism and Asperger Syndrome, ADHD and gender dysphoria are included among areas Sue will consider alongside issues such as infidelity, isolation and midlife questions. Sessions aim to help people feel steadier and find ways forward that suit their lives.

Sessions are conducted in English from her base in the United Kingdom, and she accepts international clients. Sue asks people to use the Start Therapy button and a short matching questionnaire to begin the booking process.

How Sue's approaches fit online and in-person

Sue uses client-centred work and mindfulness in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the pace set by the person. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings or to work through relationship and identity questions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, low mood and coping with difficult moments.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Sue will discuss what matters to the person, their goals and what feels comfortable. Together they can try different ways of working and adjust methods as needed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are arranged through the service and may vary. Online work can make it easier to have regular check-ins, shorter sessions when needed, or to join from a location that suits daily life.
