Meet Susan 

She is an experienced psychologist who helps people navigate change and bring back joy and build healthier lives.

Susan works with individuals and couples across a range of areas, including trauma and complex PTSD, workplace-related PTSD, depression and anxiety, and relationships.

Areas Susan Works With

• Trauma & Complex PTSD – supporting recovery and healing after both recent and long-term trauma

• First Responders – supporting emergency workers exposed to critical stress and crisis events

• Schema Couples Therapy – helping partners cut unhelpful patterns & strength their relationship

• Depression, Anxiety & Burnout – building calm, confidence and emotional balance

• Workplace-related PTSD – supporting recovery and strength after trauma at work

• Recovery after Unhealthy Relationships – rebuilding self-worth, trust and direction

 At the heart of Susan’s work is Schema Therapy, an evidence-based therapy that helps people understand and change unhelpful life patterns. These patterns show up as being a people-pleaser, perfectionist, or constantly feeling like you’re not good enough. Others might notice burnout, imposter syndrome, or a harsh inner critic that’s hard to quieten.

Susan’s style is insightful and grounded. She helps people uncover the origins of unhelpful patterns, build healthier ways of coping, and strengthen the parts of themselves that bring more confidence, clarity and joy to life.
