About Sue
Sue Perks is a counsellor with NCPS accreditation and over 10 years of experience. She offers a warm, empathic presence and a calm space where people can begin to talk about difficult feelings and situations. Sue works in a client-led way and moves at each person’s pace.
She listens without judgement and helps people name what is happening for them. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual rather than a fixed agenda.
Background and approach
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety and depression, as well as relationship and family concerns. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, eating problems, anger and compassion fatigue. Additional topics Sue addresses include ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, issues around identity and sexuality, attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment problems, infidelity, and midlife or life-purpose concerns.
She adapts the work to the issue you bring. Sue draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy within an integrative approach. That means she brings different ideas together and follows what feels most helpful for each person.
The emphasis is on building a trusting relationship that makes change possible. If you are thinking about starting therapy, Sue invites you to take a first step. She helps people explore their options, set workable goals and find ways to manage everyday challenges so life can feel more manageable.

How Sue works online
Finding the best approach is part of the therapy process. Sue works collaboratively to decide what fits each person's goals and preferences. She will discuss different ways of working and try methods that match what feels most useful for you.
Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing easier scheduling. If you are considering online work, confirm which session formats are available before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, arrange appointments during breaks, or use less bandwidth when needed, depending on the options offered by the service.
