Counsellor in Brighton | Sue Burchett

Counsellor in Brighton, Sue Burchett

I am a humanistic Counsellor in Brighton, accredited with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapists (BACP). I am experienced in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic model which helps to safely explore and heal cogntive, affective or somatic difficulties clients are experiencing and EMDR which is a clinically approved trauma therapy approved by NICE. I integrate these therapeutic models into my practice along with mindfulness and somatic practices and best suit clients’ needs.

I have more than 14 years of counselling experience and enjoy working with a wide range of clients from different backgrounds. I specialise in working with neurodivergent adults and welcome working with a diverse and broad client base.

My clients are affected by many different issues including: diagnosis of autism and/or ADHD – including late diagnosis, anxiety and depression, trauma, childhood trauma and bullying, PTSD and CPTSD, family relationships, health-related issues, redundancy and work-related challenges, relationships, self-esteem, sexual orientation and gender identity.

I am a Specialist Mentor at Brighton University as part of the Disability and Dyslexia team supporting young adults with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and mental health during their studies to achieve their full academic potential. I am also a Specialist Coach with Access to Work.

My practice is based in Brighton and I currently see clients face to face in counselling rooms near Queens Park and in Grantham Road. I also work online via Zoom. I look forward to you contacting me here.

“I just wanted you to know how much you have helped me. I will miss the sessions, I do feel I can move on. Thank you.”
Your skills have got the best out of our sessions and your gentle encouragement has enabled me to be on the right road. I really cannot thank you enough for the journey you have enabled me to take. You have eased a lot of the pain that I was experiencing. I feel I have moved from a place of unrest to a place of greater understanding and things are beginning to calm. You have empowered me to move forward.”
“I was very nervous and anxious about having counselling again due to bad previous experiences however, my sessions with Sue were not only 100% professional but understanding, thought provoking, emotional in a positive way. I felt I could trust Sue and she made me feel significant and listened to”.
“Thank you so much for all the sessions. They have had a profoundly positive effect on me.”
