About Sue

Sue Perks is a counsellor with over 10 years of experience. She offers a warm, empathic presence and a calm space to talk through stressful or worrying times. Sue holds NCPS and works with people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression and related concerns such as low self-esteem and identity questions.

She listens first and follows the client's lead, letting each session move at a comfortable pace. That client-centred way of working means conversations focus on what matters to the person sitting opposite her. Sue blends practical ideas with reflective listening so people can make sense of difficult feelings.

Common issues she supports include panic and general anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, trauma and questions about sexuality and identity. She also helps people facing life changes, career stress, parenting strains and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Sue uses mindfulness techniques alongside a client-centred approach to help people notice patterns in their thinking and bodily responses. These methods are introduced gently and adapted to each person’s needs.

Sessions aim to build trust and realistic steps forward rather than quick fixes. Sue encourages small, achievable changes that fit into everyday life. She helps people find ways to manage symptoms, clarify goals and take steady steps towards feeling better.

How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Sue uses client-centred methods which focus on the person in front of her. This approach means conversations start with the client’s priorities and move at a pace that feels manageable. It suits people who need a trusted space to talk and be heard.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. Mindfulness practices are simple exercises that aim to reduce reactivity and increase awareness, useful for anxiety, panic and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will discuss different ways of working and agree with the client which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs and goals become clearer.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep regular contact during stressful periods. Different formats can also suit different practical needs, for example shorter check-ins when time is limited or audio-only conversations when bandwidth is low.
