Therapy: A Time For You
Perhaps you’re struggling with difficult feelings, stuck in old patterns of behaviour unable to see the way out, dealing with life-changing events, or want some ‘me’ time… therapy helps you to make sense of it and supports you in finding a positive way forward.
At the core is the relationship between you and your therapist; providing a space for you to process the difficulties you’re facing, offer relief and the opportunity to understand and work through your feelings.
I’m Susie Williams, a Psychodynamic counsellor offering support with Anxiety, Depression, Bereavement and more.
Talking is a healing process, and I’m here to listen.
It’s important to feel comfortable with a therapist; someone who you can work with and helps you feel listened to and understood.
So why me?
My ethos is promoting an honest and reliable relationship in which you can talk freely, share your thoughts, difficulties, experiences at the pace you wish, and I will listen in an empathic, non-judgmental and respectful way.
One size doesn’t fit all and I will support you on your own personal journey.

About Me
I’m Susie, an experienced, warm and qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor and an EMDR Therapist in St Albans, Hertfordshire, offering you a safe, confidential space to think and feel, and for us to explore your challenges together.
My approach is mainly psychodynamic which means that I will work with you to help you make links between your present difficulties and past experiences. We’ll work together to make sense of your feelings and challenges, help you achieve insight and understanding, and in turn facilitate positive change, self-awareness and a capacity to cope with present and future difficulties. I also offer and integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Densensitisation and Reprocessing) which is an effective treatment used mostly in treating trauma, however is also effectively used for the treatment of other issues such as anxiety, phobias, addiction and grief.
Alongside my Private Practice, I am the Diploma Programme Tutor at The Counselling Foundation, responsible for the implementation of the Diploma Course to Trainee Counsellors.
I’m an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work to their Code of Ethics and Standards of Good Practice. Im also a member of the EMDR Associated UK. I hold full professional indemnity insurance and an enhanced DBS check.
