About Sue
Sue Perks is a counsellor with more than 10 years of practical experience. She creates a warm, empathic space where people can talk through difficult feelings and start to make sense of what is happening. Sessions are client-led and move at a pace that feels comfortable for the person seeking help.
She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with anger, bereavement, trauma, self-esteem and questions of identity and sexuality.
Background and approach
Autism spectrum concerns and parenting pressures are included among the issues she addresses. Sue uses a client-centred style that focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. She blends that approach with mindfulness techniques when they suit the situation.
This means sessions can include paying attention to thoughts and bodily sensations alongside open conversation. Her way of working is flexible and practical. She will work with a person to identify small steps and approaches that fit their life.
The relationship between counsellor and client is seen as the starting point for change and progress. People who are ready to begin are guided through a gentle process of exploring what matters most to them. Sue holds an NCPS credential and offers sessions from the United Kingdom.
She speaks English and accepts international clients.

Approaches Sue lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on gentle attention to thoughts and bodily sensations. Simple exercises can reduce overwhelm and build awareness of triggers for stress and low mood. It pairs well with talking therapy for managing recurring anxious or depressive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can change as progress is made or new issues appear.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and different routines.
