I offer short term counselling, or longer term open ended psychotherapy support. A free non-obligtory 20 minute telephone call is available prior to starting sessions during which we can discuss the type/level of support which could be helpful to you.  

Face to face counselling/psychotherapy sessions are available in the West End of Aberdeen on Mondays and Tuesdays from 8am until 8pm. Sessions are 1 hour.

Telephone or online support is available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Fee per hour for individual counselling: £65

Fees per hour for couples: £85  - (Please note, currently there is a waiting lift for couples counselling)

Please feel free to contact me by email (susanneforman.therapy@outlook.com) if you feel I could support you.

Life can be overwhelming at times, but you do not have to navigate it alone. You may wish to make changes in your life or have a particular difficulty you wish to resolve either in the present or from the past. As your counsellor, I can offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions safely at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and personal circumstances, helping you find clarity, resilience and emotional wellbeing.

I have experience working in a hospital environment as an occupational health counsellor for the NHS. Additionally, I work with couples and individuals experiencing relationship difficulties, having trained with Relationships Scotland (Scotland's equivalent of RELATE). In the charitable sector, I have provided support as a bereavement counsellor with CRUSE and have supported young people as a Childline counsellor with the NSPCC.

Some of the areas I work with are work-related stress, burnout, trauma, anxiety and depression, low self esteem, lack of confidence, grief, loss, relationship issues or overthinking and feeling stuck in unhelpful thought patterns.

My therapeutic practice is continually developing through various courses and CPD workshops, (some of which please see below). This means I can offer an integrative way of working together - a combined approach to counselling bringing together different elements of specific therapies.

*  Relational trauma, attachment and personality disorders

* Emotionally Focused Therapy: Attachment-based interventions     for couples in crisis (Dr Sue Johnson)

* Neurodiversity and Trauma

* The science of intergenerational Trauma

* The narcissistic dilemma: a perspective from Relational and Integrative Psychotherapy

* Cruse Bereavement & Loss training

* Applied Suicide Interventions Training (ASIST)

I work with Young adults (18-24), Adults (25-64) and Older Adults (65+). I am a member of the PVG scheme. 

Sessions are conducted in English, however I can also provide support in Dutch and German.
