Sue Morris

BACP Registered Counsellor

Hi there, and thank you for taking the time to check out some more about me. Let me tell you a bit about myself to help you decide if I might be the right counsellor for you.

I have a Masters Degree in Counselling from York St John University and an Honours Degree in Psychology form the University of Sheffield. I have been working with clients for over three years and help a wide range of people, both adults and young people age 11 upwards, many who have Autism Spectrum Disorders and Asperger's Syndrome. Currently, I work in private practice, as a counsellor for Open Minds Counselling in Doncaster and provide pro bono sessions for 121 Counselling in York, where I am also a trustee. 

​

I came into counselling through a positive personal experience of therapy during a difficult period of my life. Prior to this, I was a classroom teacher, specialising in working with children with special educational needs, moving into training school staff in working with children experiencing difficulties in learning. I understand the importance of starting your journey from where you are right now, building on your strengths as well as exploring what is troubling you.

​

My clients come to counselling with a wide range of difficulties, including depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement and feelings of low self worth and low self confidence. I work with my clients in whatever ways are most appropriate for them, drawing on a wide range of counselling theories, to help them make sense of what is going on for them, find their own way forwards and make whatever changes they feel they need. I believe every person is unique, both within themselves and in their personal experiences and therefore my counselling sessions are also tailored uniquely to you.

​

I regularly undertake professional development to ensure I am keeping up to date with the best ways I can help my clients. Find out more about counselling here.
