Susan Gully - Counsellor & IFS Practitioner Registered Member MBACP (Accred)

About Me

Before becoming a counsellor, I was employed in several different jobs - in a library, in university admin and then as a needlewoman with my own craft business. You can see one of my pictures below, and others on the Scrapbook page.

Creativity is still an important element of my life, and I believe that honouring this part of ourselves often plays a key role in healing and personal growth. So I generally keep that in mind in all my counselling work. For those who earn their living in the Arts, emotional and psychological wellbeing is frequently crucial to a sustained career, and here counselling can make a significant difference.

My first encounter with counselling was in 1991, as a client. It was so helpful that I eventually decided to train as a counsellor myself.

Counselling Experience

I have worked as a counsellor for a national bereavement charity, for the NHS, for a generic therapy centre, and for a commercial firm engaged in workplace counselling. I am happy to discuss referrals from Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) providers. Enquiries are welcome, too, from any local firms where employees need counselling support.
