She works collaboratively to help clients manage thoughts and feelings so they can move toward healthier connections and greater emotional balance.

Sue is listed with PACFA, which is the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, and she draws on established therapeutic methods to tailor support to each person or family. Her practice focuses on areas such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, parenting and depression, with additional attention to attachment, communication problems and issues around separation and divorce.

Her approach aims to create practical, sustainable change so clients can pursue the relationships and life they want with clearer understanding and more effective coping strategies.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values, while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck in them. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, depression and issues that involve avoidance of uncomfortable emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop in close relationships. By exploring attachment styles and early relationship experiences, this approach can support work on intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties and feelings of isolation or mistrust.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood and relationship conflict. It often includes goal-oriented exercises and skills that clients can apply between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person or family to select and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals and preferences, and may integrate elements from different therapies to best support progress by appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, reduces travel time and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow people to engage in regular sessions and access therapeutic support from familiar surroundings, helping therapy fit more easily into everyday life.
