Welcome
Hello, my name is Suzanne and I'm a fully qualified Psychotherapist (MA Dip HIP) working in Bath and Frome. I work mainly with individual clients. I am UKCP registered.
- I work in an integrative way, which means I draw on theories that link our past experiences with how we are in the present, but I also work very much in the moment, supporting your own ability to be healthy in yourself and your relationships.
- Being a trauma-informed therapist means that I am able to work with you to understand and process past experiences that may continue to impact your life. This is an approach that aims to build resilience in the mind/body in order to explore other choices you may have in the way you meet the world. I believe that therapy is the first step toward empowering yourself for change no matter what stage of life you are in.
- I am currently training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an approach that facilitates a more rapid trauma processing. You may have heard of this in the treatment of PTSD, but it can also be sucessfully incorporated into relational therapy to process negative self-beliefs, emotions, behaviours or sensations that may arise from maladaptions to historic traumatic experiences.
- If you think you would like to talk to me, I welcome a first session (in-person or online) during which we can discuss how we may be able to work together. I do charge in advance for first sessions, though I'm happy to have a short call if you have questions before we meet.
- Fee: Individuals: £60/50 minute session. I do offer some lower-cost spaces depending on individual circumstances.

- As a Psychotherapist working in central Bath and Frome, I am within easy reach of other areas in Somerset and Wiltshire, such as Bruton, Warminster, Radstock, Trowbridge and Westbury. I work in Bath on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and in Frome on a Tuesday morning and all day Wednesday.
I am a member of UKCP, the leading organisation for the education, training, accreditation and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors in the UK.
