I found the whole experience to be extremely helpful. Sue put my mind at ease on a number of subjects and found ways to enable me to deal with difficult situations such as listening to music, looking at photos etc. my daughter noticed that after every session with sue that my mood had noticeably improved. My friends and family have all commented on this. It’s reassuring to know sue is there if I feel I need her services and would be reluctant to use anyone else. I would fully recommend sue’s services to anyone who needs it.

I’m so deeply grateful to Sue for facilitating such a safe space for me to talk openly and freely; for listening without judgement and making be feel so valued and heard. Sue really helped me to understand myself on a deeper level, and really worked alongside me to find freedom and peace from emotional circumstances that were holding me back. I cannot thank her enough for the help and support. I highly recommend!

"I initially turned to therapy to help with my health anxiety, following a traumatic experience and loss a few years earlier. Within the first two sessions, Sue helped me realise that it actually ran much deeper than that and over the course of a few months, we worked through a variety of issues I'd been carrying around since childhood. Every session allowed me to explore thoughts and feelings that I'd bottled up for decades and had been affecting every area of my life. Sue was calm, caring, understanding and respectful, with a natural ability to draw out thoughts and feelings and get me thinking about things in a completely different way. I honestly cannot recommend Sue enough. Going through this journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance has easily been one of the best things I've ever done. I've come out the other side feeling so much happier, confident and content in my own skin. I am so thankful for Sue's support and guidance along the way"

“Sue at ACTS Therapy supported and helped me understand more about myself including ASD and guide me through a recent life changing trauma. I was a very anxious and unconfident person when I started therapy with little hope of that changing. With several months of working with Sue, I can proudly say I am the person I always wanted to be and wake up every morning feeling grateful instead of being filled with dread. The techniques, homework and knowledge are extremely useful. Sue was honest, supportive and non-judgemental throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend!”

“When I agreed to see a counsellor I didn’t know what to expect and was worried about what I would say. I went to Sue to get help with social anxiety but after only a few sessions with Sue we realised it was actually much deeper than that, each session helped me understand why I was feeling the way I was and ways to cope and overcome these feelings. I can honestly say having these sessions have changed my life.”

“Mental health maybe better understood in this day of age, but as a male who has suffered silently with anxiety and loneliness for a number of years, I honestly felt that I could continue to deal with it on my own. However, after several fertility failures, a death in the family and redundancy being mentioned all in a short space of time, I finally admitted defeat and reached out to Sue for help.
Sue treated me with the utmost respect, without judgement and I never felt that she pushed the conversation too hard, instead allowing me to go at my own pace. Sue helped me understand that my recent experience is very common and as a man, I feel grateful that I was able to break away from the stigma attached. Ultimately I feel that I’m in a much better place now and would highly recommend Sue to anyone who is struggling with any of life’s challenges.”

“I can’t thank Sue enough for her support during what was a difficult time for me. She really helped me understand how I was feeling and the reasons for this. She provided me with numerous strategies, kind words and encouragement to empower me to believe in myself! Sue is absolutely incredible and I would certainly recommend her to anybody struggling with anxiety and low self-esteem!”

“I was not sure counselling would help me when I lost my brother and job in a short space of time. My GP recommended it though! Sue gave me the time and space to just talk. I never felt judged but always felt heard. It was a space I could grieve without feeling I was burdening my family. As a husband and dad I felt i couldn't always talk to family members. But talking with Sue gave me somewhere to be real and honest about how I felt, what I was worrying about and why I was so angry. So what started as a 2 session job in my head became a 10 week journey and one I am so glad I took not only for me but for my family too.”

“Sue is brilliant, she helped me navigate through some very emotional and tough issues that I experienced through my teens and adulthood. Prior to Sue, I had seen many different counsellors, but no-one seemed to give me the right tools which has enabled me to manage difficult situtations in a more productive way, rather than going to my darkest place. I will be ever thankful for gratful for her support and guidance.”

“When I met Sue for our first counselling session, I was nervous and desperate to unravel why I was feeling down and constantly upset. Within the first session, I felt immediately comfortable and at ease around Sue. It was clear that Sue cared a great deal about her job and role in helping me. Over time, she has worked closely with me to understand why I was feeling certain ways, offering extra support/sessions when I have needed the help. She has equipped me with the tools and solutions I needed to move forward with myself and life choices, leading to both independence and happiness. The sessions have been open, honest and always inviting and have led to such a positive change in my own outlook of life. Personally, my self-esteem and confidence have soared and I can only thank Sue for her wonderful support, guidance and expertise.”
