Sometimes coping with life can become difficult because situations may lead us towards a pathway into crisis. We may find it hard to understand our own behaviours, thoughts and emotions, as well as those of others. Coping may not be easy if you feel alone and it may be difficult to talk over issues with family and friends. At Revive Counselling and Therapy, I can help you understand how to find solutions that will enable you to deal with situations and which will empower you, leading to improvement in your emotional and psychological wellbeing.

Testimonials
Previous"I had suffered for years from depression and anxiety. I was drinking heavily and not coping very well at all after my divorce. Sue helped to put me at ease and she has been very supportive throughout. Through her expertise and understanding, she has helped me to get in touch with my feelings and listen to my needs. I really do feel better able to cope now and I realise what effect my drinking has on my children and myself."

“I had lost confidence in myself. With Sue’s techniques she helped me recognise my needs and how important they are. This enabled me to gain back my confidence. I felt very safe and secure in her presence. Talking therapy definitely helped me shift a lot of negative feelings and how important it is to accept emotions in oneself”

“The training on motivational interviewing gave us space to reflect on the exercises and share our interpretations of the techniques. It was good to have delegates from the multi-disciplinary team which allowed for more in-depth observations. I feel I have only just touched the surface of my ideals and values that I may need to change in order to implement the therapeutic techniques well.”
