About Sue

Sue Perks works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and questions about identity using a client-led approach. She is a registered member of NCPS and has 10 years of experience in counselling. She offers an atmosphere where people can talk through what matters to them at their own pace.

She helps with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, eating issues, parenting strain, anger and career stress. Sue also supports people dealing with ADHD, autism and Asperger Syndrome, LGBTQ matters including gender dysphoria, and problems such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and isolation. She lists midlife concerns, infidelity, communication problems and separation among other focuses.

Her way of working is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. That means sessions aim to follow the person’s priorities, while using mindful attention to feelings and thought patterns. Conversations are practical and paced by the client rather than imposed agendas.

Sue describes an integrative stance, combining ideas from different approaches when they help. She emphasises building an open, trusting relationship as the starting point for change. Sessions tend to centre on exploring thoughts and feelings, noticing patterns and trying out different ways of coping.

If someone is unsure where to start, she supports them to set the first steps and decide what to focus on. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Working with Client‑Centred and Mindfulness approaches online

The client‑centred approach focuses on listening to the individual and following their lead in sessions. It aims to give people time to talk through thoughts and feelings, and helps with issues such as low self‑esteem, relationship concerns and bereavement.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages learning to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. This approach can help with anxiety, stress and managing difficult emotions by developing simple attention skills and present‑moment awareness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The counsellor will help the client and therapist decide together which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time and adjusted as required.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. They can also avoid the need to be on camera for the whole time, or make it simpler to attend from a quieter space during a break at work. Many registered or accredited professionals now offer remote appointments to help people access care more easily.
