My sessions take place Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 19:00. Feel free to enquire about available session times. 

Hello and a warm welcome to you. My name is Susannah. I’m a person-centred counsellor and the founder of Root and Flow Counselling. I provide online and in person counselling sessions for women and girls (age 13+) Combrook (CV35) - a peaceful village just 15 minutes from Leamington Spa and Stratford upon Avon.

I offer a free 15 minute introductory call. This is an opportunity for us to discuss what has brought you/your daughter to seek counselling and help us decide whether I could be the right counsellor for you/her. 

So, what has brought you here? You might be feeling lost or stuck in whatever you are experiencing. Wanting to move in a new direction but not sure how to do so. You could be feeling overwhelmed, unable to relax and switch off. Maybe you feel out of control – subjected to crushing waves of panic that send you spiralling. You find yourself being easily unsettled, agitated, frightened?

Perhaps you don’t feel much at all. You’re withdrawn and foggy, going through the motions without awareness. You feel lonely even when surrounded by people – your authentic thoughts and feelings hidden within. You distract yourself to escape the incessant noise of your mind. A mind that criticises you. A mind that leads you to doubt yourself. You feel a longing to connect but your traumatic experiences have taught you that it’s not safe to be vulnerable. Perhaps you push people away when they get too close or maybe you consistently try to please them, abandoning your own needs in the hopes of being accepted.

The therapeutic relationship that I offer you, abundant in empathy, acceptance and authenticity, creates a safe space from which you can process and explore your challenges at your own pace. I journey alongside you as you discover your own insights and move towards a greater self-awareness and acceptance of who you are.

I maintain a curious perspective towards you and your story. This encourages you to move beyond your limiting self-judgment and make sense of your past experiences, relationships, decisions, emotions, thoughts and behavioural patterns.

I tailor my approach to your specific needs, carefully listening and honouring you as an individual. For instance, if you are experiencing a disconnect from your feelings, I can incorporate somatic awareness into our sessions. This involves gently guiding you to tune in to your emotions and bodily sensations as they arise in the present moment.

I can also offer education on Polyvagal Theory in which the knowledge you gain about your autonomic nervous system can empower you to respond effectively to dysregulated states (anxiety and depression) with a myriad of self-regulating tools that work for you.

In the initial consultation, I will discuss my counselling agreement with you so that you are fully informed about the process. I will give you space to respond with any questions or concerns you may have. I will then ask you some questions in order to gather a holistic understanding of your needs and what you hope to gain from counselling.
