TESTIMONIALS

what my clients say

Jess, Co MEATH

I did counselling with Sue for a few months, she really helped me see my potential and to navigate life better. She’s very kind and caring and I’m greatful for the help I received over the months.

KM FROM LOUTH

I went to see Sue because I was feeling like I was drowning. I was unhappy with everything and everyone, I was full of anger. After three sessions I was feeling more positive but what struck me the most was I was using my learning at home with my teenagers. Sue just didn’t focus on me she was curious about my family life and gave me information to read. That information helped me with managing how I responded to the kids. It really is that simple but I wouldn’t have known this stuff with Sue. I can’t recommend Sue enough.

SARAH ARDEE LOUTH

I can not recommend Sue enough. She helped and supported me through a very tough time in my life. Sue created a safe and non judgemental space for me to explore my feelings. My sessions with Sue led me to build more confidence in my life. Since our sessions I am living a fullfilled and balanced life. Thank you Sue for all your help and support you saved my life.

RACHAEL DROGHEDA, MEATH

Sue is the best therapist I have met. She is relatable, understanding and always shows that she cares. I don’t know where I would be without her support.

MAGGIE AND PAUL CO LOUTH

We have been seeing Sue for about 5 sessions now and we can honestly say that our marriage is back on track and we use the tools that Sue suggested. It's all about communication and pausing before responding. We were given the space and time to explore our thoughts and never ever felt rushed.

FRANK, CO MEATH

I really enjoyed our counselling sessions I felt really great afterwards. I got a lot off my chest you have been fantastic and caring. I felt 100% after our sessions. I appreciated & treasured each session. I’m continuing a phone call once a week. Sue saw me in SOSAD and the support was unreal. Thank you very much for supporting me I feel so much better.

ASHLING SAVAGE KELLS

Sue is a fantastic therapeutic therapist. I don’t think I can put into words how she has changed my and not just changed gave me a life again. She makes everything understandable made me believe in myself, believe I’m not broken. I’ll never be able to repay you Sue for what u have given me you are such a kind and caring therapist that really really takes interest in her clients. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone. Amazing is not even a good enough word for you Sue thank you for all your hard work. Best of luck in your new adventure.

PJ KELLS MEATH

I spent years from a teenager into adulthood going to CAMHS. I ended up in rehab but couldn’t get off the drugs, my addiction was so bad. I remember getting referred to counselling and got Sue. She made me feel human again. I was so ashamed but Sue made me understand shame trauma and how it wasn’t my fault. Eye opening and mind blowing stuff that nobody ever told me. If I need therapy again I’ll be going to Sue. Looking forward to seeing the new place Sue. By the way I’m still “clean”, I know you hate that word.

DEIRDRE FROM ARDEE

I heard about how Sue worked with teenagers so I took my son to see her. I had taken my son to see a few people but he would never go back. He came out laughing and I still don’t know what was said or done but I am greatful that I found Sue for my son because he is not angry anymore, gis doesn’t selfharm and our relationship is much better. I had to work on myself too because Sue offered me one session with my son, only if he agreed. I was given simple tools to use and it worked.

DARIYA CO DUBLIN

Sue talks to you like a person and not a patient. She has a way of getting you to open up to yourself that you didn’t know you could, or simply couldn’t at the moment.

Therapy sessions with Sue felt like a conversation with someone who cares, who’s been there and got through it and just wants to help you through the same thing. There’s no pressure on getting to a topic, you pick the pace that you’re ready to work with and Sue goes with it. She is the only therapist I’ve seen over 10 years that seems to genuinely enjoy what she does and isn’t doing it purely because it’s her job.

KAMILA

For years of therapy I had the impression that nothing was helping me to heal. I didn’t know why after each improvement I had repeated episodes of feeling bad. I felt frustrated and had no hope for better. I felt that I was going in circles. Only my visit to Sue made me realize the basis of my problems and for the first time someone showed me the right path to healing. Her help and support are invaluable and exceptional. Sue is a very empathetic, professional, understanding and supportive therapist in every aspect. Therapy with her made a huge difference in my life, help me to understand lots of things in my life and look at them differently – “switch my brain” – in Sue words. She is the one responsible for my journey towards healing and recovery and I will always be grateful to her for it. Thank you Sue for everything.

NAVAN

Hi, my name is Nicole. I started seeing Sue about 4 months ago, when I entered that room for the first time I was shown compassion, care and trust. For years I was stuck in cycles of addiction, anxiety, ptsd episodes and I struggled to trust anybody, I was acting out and damaging myself and never thought I deserved to be happy. After doing a lot of talking and a lot of tears figuring out why I was acting out, Sue has taught me so much, the trauma responses I have, who is actually on my lane and she’s brought me to a safe space each week and I am forever grateful for Sue for showing me how to face my own battles safely. I highly recommend her approach, her attitude and kindness.
