About me Sue Parnell
My name is Sue Parnell and I’m a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP Accred), with almost 40 years’ experience working in a Person-Centred way.
Alongside my core training, I’ve undertaken additional qualifications to work safely and effectively online, and I hold membership with the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO).
I’m also trained and licensed in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (CFD)—an evidence-based approach designed to support clients experiencing depression and related emotional difficulties.
I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions and remain committed to ongoing professional development, ensuring my practice stays thoughtful, responsive, and grounded in integrity.
Above all, I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely, at your own pace. Together, we can move toward greater clarity, healing, and self-understanding.
People come to therapy for many reasons—sometimes in crisis, sometimes with quiet questions that won’t go away.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure of what’s next.
Whatever brings you here, I’ll meet you with warmth, respect, and a deep commitment to understanding your experience.
Together, we’ll create a space where you can begin to make sense of things, find your footing, and move forward in a way that feels true to you.
If you’re considering therapy and wondering what the next step might be, I invite you to get in touch.
You’re welcome to ask questions, share what’s on your mind, or simply explore whether this feels like the right fit for you.
There’s no pressure—just a gentle beginning.
Therapy isn’t only for times of crisis—it can also be preventative helping us stay on track, remain aware of the ‘holes in the road ahead,’ and avoid repeating patterns that no longer serve us.
For some, especially those who are neurodiverse or living with conditions such as Personality Disorders or Bipolar Disorder, therapy can also offer ongoing support and maintenance.
The list of reasons people seek therapy is long—and every one of them is valid.
To summarise why I trained—and why I continue to learn after almost 40 years, it’s to assist and support those who wish to embark on a journey of self-discovery. A journey that, for each of us, is as unique as we are individuals on this earth.
It is, and always will be, an honour and a privilege to be trusted in this way.
Thank you in advance, should you decide to take that step with me.
