Welcome to the website for Sue Conway

I am BACP accredited counsellor with experience of working with individuals of various ages, sexual orientations, races and backgrounds since 1998. I can vary the focus, intensity and duration of the counselling depending on the client’s needs.

Having originally trained for 5 years with Westminster Pastoral Foundation, my primary qualification is the WPF Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling. This is a long and rigorous post graduate training, which included my own personal therapy. I am an accredited member of the BACP, a member of the FPC and registered with UKCP and UKRCP. I comply with their professional standards.

I have experience in Group Work, Bereavement Counselling, Divorce/Relationship Breakdown, Fertility Problems, Sexual Abuse and Disability. With a background in commerce, I have experience of managing change and dealing with modern stresses in employment.

 

I also have experience of working with counsellors requiring training therapy along with mentoring and academic tutoring of trainees.

My practice is based on psychoanalytic principles and methods which means I consider client's current problems at the same time as understanding how the past influences these at an unconscious level. This will involve helping people to resolve issues but, as importantly, being there for people and listening. Sometimes people don't know what is wrong, this is when being there, listening and building trust is essential.
