★★★★★

“In couples sessions, Susan is fair and conducts her sessions with no judgement. She enables couples to uncover the source of issues by shifting focus from blame to empathy. In single sessions, she asks thoughtful questions to help uncover the reasons why we feel our pain. She is an expert on human emotion and she imparts her clients with the tools they need to foster healthy regulation. Her sessions are done in a safe, friendly environment.”

“Thanks for all the support over the last year. Susan is very easy to talk to, super helpful and inciteful with her wisdom. As someone who previously has seen counsellors, Susan takes top honours in the way she support her clients.”
