Why I Should Contact Susan...

Firstly, Susan relates well with people of all ages and from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds and socio economic areas.

Susan is an empathetic, kind and insightful Counselor and clinical Psychotherapist, with over 25 years experience in her field.  Susan has developed a calm and relaxed style of counselling towards working within areas such as Depression, Anxiety, Anger Management and Drug and Alcohol addictions, to name a few, a comprehensive list is found below.  This likable approach fits the counselling needs of her clients.  Susan's calm, relaxed style, enables her to work successfully within all areas of therapeutic intervention. Susan states " I am empathetic to the circumstances others may present with, and I don't  judge my clients situations.  It is so important for clients to be able to discuss their matters with a person who isn't going to pass judgement. It is futile to do so."  Susan is a registered clinical psychotherapist and counsellor and accredited clinical mental health social worker.  Susan is also registered parent educator, trainer and facilitator. Susan is also an approved Victims Services Trauma Counsellor by the Justice Department, Queensland and New South Wales. 

 

 

Susan is a  International Member of Youth for Mental Health, QCoss, AASW, and Australian Counselling.  Susan is MAASW accredited. Susan has won 'Best Counselling for Gold Coast Regions: 2 years consecutively.  2021 Certificate Of Excellence: Professional : Bark Australia.

​

Susan has sixteen years extra post graduate experience and  credentials in Clinical Focused Psychological Strategies and Skills; All Mental Health matters, including suicidality.  Susan has worked nationally, in both governmental and non governmental agencies.

 

  In reflection, Susan says  "The past ten years have been challenging yet extremely valuable  years, working within some very difficult areas of counselling.  The reward comes when achieving a turn in perspective for people, it has been a true leveler, to realize that no matter where people are situated on the socio economic spectrum, we all feel and think in the same dynamic, we all hurt, and we all can heal. Susan has worked the northern shores of Sydney, and all major capital cities nationally.  Now bringing this polished approach home, Susan operates in Private Practice in our Gold Coast Cbd. 

Susan continues... " The best reward for me I feel comes when a person discloses that they have seen other counsellors, some for years, and they state, without any significant changes. We live in a very complicated world, I understand well the complexities that go with doing so.  without reaching out when we are hurting, we are at risk of developing depression, to not speak about our emotional pain, puts us at risk.. . . it's not a bad idea nowadays, to put your hand up and ask for some guidance and support, this is the hardest thing for some to do, but the most crucial step, as it is the first stroke on a canvas for creating a new life ahead. The majority of people that come in for support and counselling, work well, and so they are able to recover, get stronger, and move ahead with their lives.

 

Other specialist areas include spectrum disorders: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Manic Depression, Childhood and Adult and Mood Disorders,Confidence and Self-Esteem- women and men, Addictions: Internet and Substance, Sexual addictions, Self harming,  Sexual Abuse, Cult Affiliation and Abuse. Torture and Trauma victims.  Susan has worked nationally, also at the highest level of clinical psychotherapy and counselling, and in some very difficult localities and social settings; such as Bondi and Sydney's Western and Northern Districts.

"I didn't feel comfortable with the other counsellors I had seen, and there were heaps! Susan's wicked sense of humor, and her words, made me stop and listen for a change.   I like coming to see her, even after all this time, I am still seeing her after fifteen months. I can't believe it has been so long.  The sessions just fly. I really respect what she says, and for me, that hasn't been something I have had for many other people I have been with.  I am so happy I hung in there with her!  There were some bumpy days. She has made me see things I had not seen or considered about myself before in my life. Thanks Susan." Hayley S.  16 yo.  Student - Full time.  : D
