Testimonials"Sue is one of the most remarkably kind people I've ever met. The way she talks to you in sessions makes you feel heard and understood at times when no one else is able to help. Sue taught me so much about how to deal with my mental health issues but above all she helped me to understand that my feelings are valid and that I am valuable. She acted as a base from which I could build strong foundations, which has helped me to achieve so much. I cannot recommend her enough. I wouldn't be where I am today without her help.""When I first met you; I felt utterly hopeless. Sue, you have gone above and beyond, you've helped me through one of the darkest periods of my life. I will never forget you. I can't thank you enough for your support."
