Susanne Barthelmes

Psychotherapist

I am an experienced and BACP registered counsellor and work with a person-centred, integrative approach to meet your individual needs. Working in-person and online. Sessions £60.

About Me

I offer a space where we can truly focus on your unique path. As an experienced psychotherapist, I tailor our work using an integrative approach. This means drawing from various methods to meet your individual needs. Whether we connect in-person or online, my aim is to help you explore challenges. We'll find clarity at your own pace. This flexible style suits those seeking a truly personalised therapeutic experience.

Approach

Sessions feel paced to your needs, balancing reflective listening with practical, doable steps so we gently untangle what matters most. We meet face-to-face in Worthing or via secure online sessions, working in English or German, with room for pauses and follow-up between meetings. In-session I help you notice patterns, test small changes and build coping habits that carry into daily life, whether you're navigating anxiety, loss, relationships or identity questions. You might find this collaborative, steady way of working helpful.
