Sue Winkett
Counselling &
Therapy

I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as a qualified, integrative counsellor based in East Sussex, with experience of working with a range of issues. Working in an integrative way means that I use a number of approaches, or schools of thought when working with clients, as no two people are the same. Above all else you are an individual with individual needs.  I offer a warm, accepting relationship and through that connection can support you to express yourself, explore what’s going on for you and ultimately gain greater understanding and self awareness.

In accordance with the BACP guidelines, I am committed to continuous professional development through training courses, workshops, relevant updated reading, personal therapy and supervision.

Making the decision to seek counselling is a hard step to take, instead we tend to ignore our feelings and hope they go away. But what if by ‘showing up’ we could understand our difficulties and discover ways to face life’s challenges, such as relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, loss, stress or just feeling stuck.

I believe the most significant factor in how much a client gains from counselling is the relationship between counsellor and client; the person to person connection. If you are experiencing thoughts and feelings that you are struggling with counselling can be a way of making sense of them. I offer a non-judgmental, warm, compassionate and confidential space where you can work through difficult feelings and experiences. Here you can explore what’s going on for you, discover meaningful insight about yourself and gain greater understanding of the difficulties you face.

Using multiple theories or modalities, such as Person Centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis, I can bring perspectives to help make sense of your difficulties.
