Sue Perks

Sue Perks is a counsellor with more than 10 years of experience who aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space. She introduces herself simply and directly, encouraging people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings at a pace that suits them.

Her practice supports people coping with stress, anxiety and depression, and those dealing with anger or grief. She also helps with relationship and family issues, identity and sexuality concerns, and neurodiversity matters such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Sue works in a client-centred way, which means sessions are guided by the person who comes for counselling. She adapts her approach to match individual needs rather than following a single fixed method.

Mindfulness tools are part of her offering when they suit a person’s goals. In conversation she uses simple, practical steps to help someone manage overwhelming feelings and build small habits that can make life easier.

Building an open and trusting connection is central to her practice. Sue focuses on helping people move forward from painful experiences and regain a sense of purpose and wellbeing.

She welcomes people who are ready to take the first step towards change and supports them as they work through challenges at their own pace.

How Sue's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The counsellor offers space to talk and reflects back what she hears to help someone understand their thoughts and feelings. This approach can help with uncertainty, low mood, relationship worries and identity questions.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. These practices aim to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anxiety, stress and managing intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That conversation is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please check the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Some people find shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings useful when video is difficult, while others prefer a fuller, longer conversation on video. The counsellor will work with each person to choose what suits their routine and aims.
