I’m Sue, educator, practitioner, and guide for women who are silently struggling and don’t quite know why.

I’m often described as the therapist who isn’t a therapist. My work isn’t clinical. It’s human.

I know what it feels like to hold everything together on the outside while something quietly asks for attention on the inside. I know it not from a textbook but from my own life.

More than twenty five years ago I was living and working in London, travelling the world for a global communications company until I wasn’t anymore. I couldn’t get out of bed. Diagnosed with ME/CFS, I stayed there for two years while my husband Steve became my full-time carer. What I didn’t know then was that my past had caught up with me. My body had simply said enough.

That was the beginning of a long journey into understanding myself, into understanding human behaviour, and into learning what it actually takes to feel at home in yourself again.

I still get the occasional reminder from my body. A quiet signal that says:

“when you’re ready, there’s more to look at.”

I’ve learned to listen. Not always immediately. I’m human. But I listen.

What I’ve come to understand through my own experience and twenty years of professional practice is that what most women are carrying isn’t a problem to be fixed. It’s a pattern to be understood. And when it’s finally understood, something shifts. Not dramatically. Quietly. Like an exhale after holding your breath for a very long time.

That’s what I’m here for.

I hold a Masters level membership with EMCC UK and an ILM coaching qualification. I’m based in Totnes, Devon, and work with women in person and online.

Thank you for being here. For taking the time to read this, and for finding your way to this page however that happened.

If something in what you’ve read feels familiar, I’d be glad to have a conversation.

With warmth, Susan Jane
