Working with Sue

Hello, I’m Sue. I am an Art Therapist, Counsellor, and established Bright Black Art Therapy & Counselling in 2018.

I offer a person-centred style, towards understanding YOU. Together we use a range of methods and choose what is most helpful. This can include Interpersonal Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Trauma informed perspectives such as Poly-Vagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, and Art Therapy Expressive methods.  

Based on your needs, therapy can be in our warm consolation space, at home, or online. Where your goals relate to being in community, we can discuss how community access can be included and brought back to therapy.

I have the honour to work with those who have complex experiences of depression, PTSD, social anxiety, family violence, chronic physical conditions, cognition impacts, personality disorders, schizophrenia, hoarding experiences, and alcohol or drug use, and neurodiversity. My training and practice provide us with opportunities to explore verbal counselling, expressive therapy, and your sensory preferences. Moving side by side, we co-create new ways for you work toward what is most important for you.

Look forward to speaking with you.
