SFS Therapy - Dr. Sue Learoyd-Smith (PhD; BSc; MBPsS, DHP; CNHC)
About me
Who do I work with?
I work with adults and teenagers, and work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, addictions, phobias, PTSD and many other issues (see list below).
I have enhanced DBS clearance and am also an Anxiety UK registered therapist, a member of the British Psychological Society and a member of the British BrainWorking Research Society.
An individualised approach to your therapy
As well as being a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I have trained in a range of other therapies including BrainWorking Recursive Therapy, Conscious Analytical Therapy, Psychotherapeutic approaches, CBT, Counselling and Rapid Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) approaches. Having a range of different tools means I can develop a therapy programme that caters for your own individual needs!
What happens once you've decided to contact me?
Initially I will invite you in for a free 30 minute consultation. This allows me to find out more about your situation and to establish if you are suitable for the types of therapy I use, and also provides you with an opportunity of finding out more about how I can help you. There is no obligation to book at this stage, in fact, I always advise clients to go away and read the information provided before making a decision to book.
Where is SFS Therapy?
SFS Therapy is located in the Stratton area of Swindon in a purpose built therapy room.
How to book your free 30 minute consultation?
You can book your initial consultation either by emailing sue@sfstherapy.com or telephoning (01793) 677817 or 07876808642. I may be with a client so would ask you to leave a voicemail with your name and a contact telephone number or email address. I will return your call/email as soon as possible.
Kind regards,
Sue
