Sue Perks
Calm client-led counselling for life’s hard moments
About Sue
Sue Perks is a counsellor with ten years of experience who aims to make starting therapy straightforward. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings at their own pace. Sue holds NCPS as a listed credential and works from the United Kingdom.
Sue helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, anger and low self-esteem. Sexuality and gender concerns such as LGBT issues and gender dysphoria are part of her practice, along with life changes like separation or career shifts.
Background and approach
Her approach is client-centred and grounded in mindfulness. That means sessions follow the person’s needs while building awareness of thoughts and sensations. She adapts what she uses so the work matches each person rather than following a single formula.
Sue also addresses specific areas such as ADHD, autism and attachment or abandonment worries. Practical problems such as communication, jealousy, infidelity, parenting strain and career stress are regularly discussed in sessions. She aims to make conversations clear and manageable rather than overwhelming.
People who come to Sue often want steady, supportive contact and a clear plan for moving forward. Sessions focus on small, realistic steps and on noticing what helps day to day. Sue emphasises collaboration so the client sets the pace and goals throughout therapy.

How Sue’s approaches work online
Sue uses client-centred work to shape sessions around what the person brings. This means conversations focus on the client’s concerns and priorities while the counsellor reflects and helps clarify what matters most. Client-centred care suits people who want a supportive, paced space to make sense of feelings.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without harsh self-judgement. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with difficult emotions by building simple habits of attention and calm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Sue treats it as a joint decision. She will discuss options with the client, try things out, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful and achievable for the person’s goals.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is wanted, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the work consistent over time.
