Susie brings over three decades of valuable experience to her practice, having worked within the mental health field since commencing her nurse training in 1991. For the past ten years, she has dedicated herself to providing therapy for a diverse range of mental health issues. Combining her background in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with her status as an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, she offers a highly skilled and knowledgeable service.

Her primary therapeutic approach is Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful method widely recommended for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). By using guided eye movements, Susie helps clients process traumatic or disturbing memories in a natural way, effectively reducing emotional intensity and relieving the distressing symptoms associated with the past.

Beyond trauma, Susie utilises the versatility of EMDR to support clients facing a variety of other challenges. She has found this approach to be incredibly effective in treating depression, anxiety disorders, and phobias, providing a pathway for individuals to move past their barriers and achieve a greater sense of lasting well-being.
