My name is Suzanne and I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor based in Coventry. I have been working therapeutically in different settings with clients for almost 20 years, and have been specialising in working with those where there is a sexual addiction and compulsivity.
In an initial free conversation on the phone, you will be able to share what has brought you to counselling and see how we might work together. Whilst I specialise in sexual addiction, compulsion and those who have offended, my counselling experience includes; emotional regulation, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, self-destructive and self-defeating behaviours, adverse childhood experiences, attachments, depression and anxiety. All of which can be factors when working with addiction.
My approach to counselling is integrative which means I use various approaches when working with you. I will support you to express your thoughts and feelings about something that is causing difficulty in your life, and then enable you explore what comes up for you. I can listen to you and provide a non-judgemental space so you can feel heard and understood. In many cases, I incorporate some psychoeducational work if we agree that type of input would enable you to reach your therapeutic goals. I can offered a structured approach to your addiction, or a more traditional counselling approach, or a hybrid of both. This will all be discussed at our initial scheduled session.
I believe that you are the authority of you, and in that, I will not ‘assess you’, I will be guided by what you believe your therapeutic goals to be, and work with you from there. This is a journey, this is your journey.
I am able to offer face to face sessions, or over the phone or online.
