Sue Perks is a counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people through tough times. She creates a warm, empathic space where people can talk about worries and feel heard. Sue uses a client-led way of working and moves at each person’s pace.

She holds an accepting attitude towards sexual identity and neurodiversity. In sessions she helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, anger and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

Relationship and family concerns are covered, including communication problems, separation and infidelity. Sue also addresses life-stage and career questions such as midlife crisis, career strain and finding life purpose. Parenting, eating issues and compassion fatigue are part of her practice too.

She offers support around ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome and related attachment and abandonment matters. Her approach draws on client-centred work and mindfulness therapy to match what each person needs. That means conversations focus on the person in front of her and on building awareness of thoughts and body sensations.

Sessions are practical and paced to the individual. Sue is registered NCPS, which denotes her professional standing. She practices from the United Kingdom and offers help in English.

People can connect remotely if they are outside the UK.

Client-centred and mindful approaches for online therapy

Sue works with client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person’s lead to help them clarify feelings and next steps.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness techniques can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and when someone wants practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue collaborates with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. She may combine client-centred listening with mindfulness exercises and adjust the plan over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
