Sue Blackshaw BA Hons, MBACP, NCPS Accredited
I will listen and help you find the best of you, by allowing you to explore a greater understanding of self and developing your coping strategies to support with life’s most challenging experiences.
I am a highly qualified counsellor with a BA Hons in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am also trained in Brainspotting, please see section on the benefits of brainspotting in the therapy room.
I am experienced in supporting more of life’s dilemmas and experiences such as grief and loss. This can be from the loss of a person through death or the loss of identity such as redundancy or medical diagnosis.
I run weekly support groups specialising in areas such as anxiety and depression, Anger, and Grief and Loss for a local CIC mental health service where individuals are given time to discuss their experiences of issues and to share skills and form new positive friendships.

Dogs are known for amazing benefits within therapy and Curly certainly endorses this beyond measure.
