Sue Perks, NCPS

Sue Perks is a warm, empathic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with over 10 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where individuals can explore thoughts and feelings, work through difficult emotions and address challenges such as trauma, bereavement, relationship and family problems, anger, low self-esteem and confidence.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including ASD, issues around sexuality and identity, eating difficulties, parenting and career-related stress, as well as more specific areas like attachment and abandonment, infidelity, gender dysphoria and midlife crises. Sue takes an integrative approach, blending different ideas and techniques to suit each person she works with while keeping the client in the lead of the process.

Sue holds NCPS, a recognised professional counselling credential, and applies a client-led style that allows people to progress at their own pace. By building an open and trusting therapeutic relationship she aims to create the conditions where change can begin, helping clients move forward, enhance wellbeing and pursue a more fulfilling life. When someone is ready to take the first step, Sue is available to support them on that journey.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness-Based Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental environment where the client’s experience guides the work; it is particularly helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, identity questions and navigating major life changes. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices to help people manage stress, anxiety and emotional reactivity by learning to observe thoughts and feelings without immediate judgment.

Sue uses these approaches to shape online sessions, tailoring techniques to each person’s needs. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sue works collaboratively with clients to decide what fits best based on their goals, preferences and situation. This means approaches may be blended or adapted over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Sue is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations and choose the format that feels most comfortable, while working with a registered professional to address stress, anxiety, trauma and other concerns.
