Susan Walton (my pronouns are She / Her)

I work on Mondays and Fridays throughout the day and early evening. Please get in touch to discuss my current availability.

I work at The Practice Rooms, Queens Square, Bristol. My fee is £45 per 50-minute hour.

I believe it’s important to find the right therapist for you and I offer a free 30-minute introductory session online to enable you to decide whether you would like us to work together.

In March 2024 I completed my Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling with Bath Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy and have qualified as an integrative, humanistic counsellor. I have also completed a foundation certificate in psychodynamic counselling and a certificate in person-centred counselling. In addition, I have 25 years of experience working and receiving training in mental health and wellbeing services.

As an integrative counsellor I aim to see you as a whole person and to tailor the therapy to meet your needs by drawing on techniques or understanding from various therapeutic approaches. I place a lot of emphasis on safety. Therapy is a place to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, but I feel it’s important you do this at your own pace and have ways of managing and coping with what arises as you go through the process. If it helps, we can either talk about or practice together creative activities, grounding or calming exercises aimed at helping you feel safe.

Your life might be affected by discrimination, inequality or not being accepted for who you are, and I believe therapy is a good place to explore that.

I’m interested in what gives your life meaning, whether this is what you believe or have faith in, your background or community, who you love and connect with, what you do or what you think. In our work together I will aim to be alongside you, not judging or directing, but collaborating with you to make sense of your experience. I see the relationship between counsellor and client as a beneficial and healing aspect of this process.
