About Sue
Sue Perks, NCPS, is a counsellor with over 10 years of experience. She creates a warm, empathic space where people can talk through worries and work out what helps. Sessions are led by the client and move at a comfortable pace.
She approaches conversations without judgement and aims to build a trusting relationship. That relationship is the starting point for making changes and feeling steadier in day-to-day life. Sue listens for what matters most to each person and follows their lead.
Background and approach
Sue supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression, as well as anger and difficulties in relationships. She also helps with bereavement and loss, trauma, self-esteem, confidence, autism spectrum concerns, gender and sexual identity questions, and ADHD-related struggles. Her way of working is integrative, which means she draws on a small number of approaches to match what each person needs.
Two main influences in her practice are client-centred ways of working and mindfulness-based ideas to help with focus and calm. Sessions focus on exploring feelings, noticing patterns, and trying practical steps that fit everyday life. Sue talks things through with people so they can spot what changes might help.
If someone wants to take the first step towards change, she supports them through that process.

How Sue's approaches translate to online therapy
Sue uses client-centred principles which focus on listening carefully and following the person's lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, checks understanding, and helps clients find their own solutions for issues such as anxiety, grief or relationship worries.She also draws on mindfulness approaches that teach simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques are useful for reducing stress, improving focus, and managing overwhelming feelings in day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Sue will discuss what feels helpful and adapt the balance of listening, practical tasks and mindfulness according to your goals and preferences. That discussion is part of the early sessions and may change over time as needs shift.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy life, keeping appointments from different locations, or having shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to maintain continuity of care when face-to-face meetings are difficult to arrange.
