"In every difficulty lies opportunity"
Albert Einstein
Online Counselling and Psychotherapy from West Sussex
Life can be incredibly difficult it throws us curveballs and tests our endurance. These times can be very isolating so having an objective, non judgemental, empathic person to support you through these times can be valuable and helpful. As a Counsellor my role is to provide a space which is safe, private and confidential whether that be online or in the therapy room, or in the clients home should this be appropriate. To offer guidance for clients, and support on their emotional journey while enabling them to make choices in their pathway of life.
About Me
My name is Sue Potten and I'm a qualified accredited counsellor listed with the National Psychotherapeutic Counselling Society. A good part of my working life has been in healthcare . In Oubitori Counselling I'll be working with a therapy style of the integrated style. This means when working with clients I'll draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Pyschodynamic , Person Centred and Gestalt methods in enabling the client to work through what they bring to the counselling session.
I offer a chance to reflect on the difficulties or problems you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment, with someone from outside your day-to-day life.
Together we can explore your situation in a way that leads to fresh perspectives - and perhaps a new understanding of yourself.
Counselling isn’t about giving you solutions or advice, but empowering you to make your own changes.
I work with people from all walks of life and backgrounds, coming to me with a diverse range of problems. As a fully-qualified counsellor I'm a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and abide by their code of ethics.
