Welcome
My name is Suzanne Oakes and I am a qualified experienced counsellor and an accredited registered member of the BACP, adhering to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice, which ensures that I work safely and ethically with my clients’ best interests always at the heart of my work. Having personally experienced mental health difficulties I feel I have the necessary perspective to help people working through difficult times in their own lives with empathy and compassion.
Contact me to receive personalised therapy in your own home, with weekday, weekend and evening appointments available all over Stroud, Stonehouse and Cirencester, to achieve your individual wellbeing goals. I have over thirteen years experience working with people who need support with their mental health including anxiety, depression, healthy long term weight loss, lack of confidence, increasing motivation, exposure therapy and counselling. Telephone and Skype sessions are available.

Emotional Wellbeing
Everyone has a time in their life when they struggle, people should get the help and support they need to work through problems and improve their lives. By working on your emotional wellbeing you can build your resilience and reduce your reaction to the stresses of life.
I offer person centred counselling to support individuals and give them the outlet to tell their story, we can then work together to find ways to help reduce the impact traumatic events can have on a person's life.
