About Sue
Sue Perks is a counsellor with ten years of practical experience supporting people through difficult times. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what is worrying them and work at a pace that feels manageable. Sue holds NCPS and practices from the United Kingdom.
She communicates in English and accepts international clients. Sue helps with stress, anxiety and low mood, along with relationship and career concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, anger, eating issues and the strain of parenting. Her wider focus includes ADHD, autism and questions around gender and sexual identity. Her approach is client-centred, which means clients set the pace and priorities.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help people manage strong emotions and notice unhelpful patterns. Sue blends ideas to suit each person rather than following a single fixed method. Sessions tend to feel practical and grounded.
Conversations aim to uncover what matters to the client and build small, workable steps forward. Over time the emphasis can shift from coping to making longer term changes in day-to-day life. People who reach out usually want a compassionate listener and clear, down-to-earth guidance.
Sue encourages honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change. She supports clients as they experiment with new ways of managing stress, relationships and identity questions.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Sue works in a client-centred way, which puts the person's own goals and pace at the heart of the sessions. This approach is helpful when someone needs to feel heard, clarify priorities and shape therapy around their life. Mindfulness therapy is also used to develop present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity to stress and strong emotions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sue will discuss different methods with the client and adapt them to personal needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on everyday coping strategies, emotional regulation through mindfulness, or exploring deeper relationship and identity concerns.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow a near face-to-face conversation and are useful for longer sessions and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone needs to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, parenting and other commitments, and allow people to access help even when travel or schedules make in-person visits difficult.
