About Sue

Sue Perks is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has worked in the field for 10 years. She is based in the United Kingdom and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and anger. She also helps with relationship issues, bereavement, trauma, self-esteem and questions about sexuality and identity.

Sue describes her work as client-led. She listens first and follows the pace the person wants. Sessions focus on talking through feelings and thoughts, and on practical steps people can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. That means conversations aim to be straightforward, with attention to present-moment experience and the person’s own priorities. Mindfulness practices are used to help reduce reactivity and notice triggers for anger or anxiety.

Sue also works integratively, bringing different ideas together to suit what each person needs. She is used to helping with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and identity, including autism and gender dysphoria. The emphasis is on building a trusting working relationship and clear goals that the client sets.

Practical matters are discussed openly. Sue recognises that starting therapy can feel difficult and gives time to decide next steps. To begin a course of sessions people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting through the online system.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Sue uses Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s agenda. It helps when someone wants a space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters most to them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These tools are often used to notice triggers, reduce reactivity and manage stress or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue discusses options with each person and decides together what to try first. The focus is on the client’s needs, goals and preferences so the plan can be adjusted over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and avoid travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, which some people find more manageable. Registered or accredited professionals can use online meetings to keep therapy consistent with everyday life and responsibilities.
