About Sue

Sue Perks is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has ten years of experience in the UK. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and issues around sexuality and identity. Her practice also covers trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties and neurodiversity-related concerns.

Sue takes a client-led approach and listens first. Sessions move at the client's pace, with conversations shaped by what feels most useful to the person in front of her. This plain, practical focus helps people talk through immediate problems and longer-standing struggles alike.

She combines ideas from different approaches where helpful, drawing most on client-centred ways of working and mindfulness-based practices. That means attention to the persons experience in the moment and space to reflect on patterns that keep causing distress. Discussions are straightforward and aimed at usable steps between sessions.

Sue regularly supports people with issues around family and relationships, career and life changes, grief, eating concerns and ADHD-related difficulties. She also works with people managing anger, feelings of emptiness, jealousy, guilt and shame, and those facing separation or divorce.

Sue accepts international clients and works in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies by location. To begin people use the site matching process and book a first session after completing a short questionnaire.

How Sue uses client-centred and mindfulness work online

Sue draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and following what matters to the person in front of her. That approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful listener to sort through feelings and decide next steps.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. Mindfulness can be useful for easing persistent worry, calming stress responses and building small, manageable practices to use between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of working together. Sue will discuss options with the client and agree what to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. The work is collaborative and may shift over time as priorities change.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while also supporting continuity when someone is living abroad or relocating. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats to match practical needs and goals.
