About Sue

Sue Perks is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety and depression. She focuses on relationship and family difficulties, trauma and identity concerns including LGBT matters and autism spectrum issues. Sessions follow a client-led, person-centred approach and draw on mindfulness techniques.

Perks keeps sessions practical and paced to each person. She helps people talk through immediate problems such as panic, low mood, grief or anger. She also addresses longer-term patterns like attachment difficulties, abandonment fears and problems with communication or commitment.

Her work includes support for parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. She lists eating concerns, ADHD, gender dysphoria and issues around infidelity and separation among her areas of focus. Perks also supports people struggling with isolation, emptiness and questions about life purpose or midlife change.

She describes her style as client-centred, which means the person sets the pace and topics. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop moment-to-moment awareness and to reduce anxiety symptoms. Together these approaches aim to make conversations in sessions clearer and more manageable.

Perks welcomes international clients and conducts work in English. Practical next steps are to use the matching process on the site, pick a session time and begin with an initial appointment to clarify goals and ways of working.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead in sessions. The therapist listens without imposing an agenda and helps the person clarify concerns and choose which topics to work on. This approach suits people who need time to explain their situation and who want a collaborative pace.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, feelings and physical sensations. Exercises may include guided attention to breath or short grounding practices. These techniques can help reduce anxiety, improve emotion regulation and make everyday moments easier to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the person’s goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process may combine client-centred listening with targeted mindfulness exercises, adapted as needs and goals become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, remove travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. They can also support continuity of care for international clients, while practical arrangements such as session length and whether to use video or phone can be agreed at booking.
