Sue Allen

Sue is a Counsellor/Psychotherapist using Transactional Analysis and is Accredited with BACP. She will help you to piece together the parts of your ‘life map’ which are feeding into your current problems, as it is often our earliest experiences which lead us to our conclusions about ourselves, others and what is possible for us in life. Sometimes buried feelings may emerge, and the therapy relationship is central to this work. Sue’s approach is warm, calm and compassionate and she believes in supporting people to grow through a journey of self-understanding and self-acceptance. Before counselling and psychotherapy training, Sue worked with Looked After Children in Local Authority children’s residential units and then practiced for several years as a Children and Families Social Worker supporting families. To deepen her understanding of families and relationships, she completed initial foundational training in Family and Systemic Therapy and then gained further skills in CBT and EMDR. Sue also works in private practice.
