SUE SUTCLIFFE, BA (Hons), MBACP, UKRCP

Sue is an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, the Association of University Counsellors and a UK Registered Counsellor.  She works primarily in central London, but also does telephone counselling and will travel for intervention work. She is also a tutor on Counselling courses, from certificate to degree level, and facilitates groups, workshops and seminars on a regular basis.

 Sue`s approach to therapy is mainly client-led and integrates person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive methods to the therapeutic process.  She is qualified as an addictions counsellor and has extensive experience in group work as well as working with families and adolescence. 

Sue was instrumental in setting up one of the first family and adolescent programmes in this country and is currently researching a book on The Forgotten Family concerning members of families who have addiction or another personality disorder in their midst. Sue`s knowledge of family systemics has informed her work with groups and her belief in the power of the group to repair unresolved difficulties stemming from the family of origin.        

 Sue has a strong belief in the ability of the individual to change even if this involves challenging core beliefs and questioning long-standing coping strategies.  The courage and willingness to risk making changes allows for new possibilities in our lives which can be highly rewarding and fulfilling.

 Sue has worked with Kay for the past ten years, and more recently they have specialised in Group, Couple and Family therapy, Relapse Prevention and a successful Intervention service.

Kay Dowd, with whom she copresents at UKESAD, and Sue are both preferred providers for many of the major insurance companies.
