I can listen to other people stories, opinions and thoughts that I am inspired by; on top of that, what i have learnt from my tutor is sensational that i've never been able to learn elsewhere.

You've created a safe and caring environment in that classroom"

"I feel so inspired by our tutor and i can see myself counselling in the future. It has been good to meet other people and confidentially open up with some of my personal hardships. I did not envisage myself doing this and similarly, it has been a privilege to hear other people discuss their issues. I feel our tutor has created this space and allowed this to happen. It really has been great meeting you and having you as our tutor"

"I cried, I journaled, I laughed, and I left with clarity. This was more than a workshop — it was a spiritual reset."

"I learnt more about the black history and historical values. It helped me realise the suffering the black community has been through, as it brought me to tears."

"This workshop gave me permission to feel again. I’ve been carrying so much pain silently, and today I felt seen, safe, and supported for the first time in a long time."

"I came in feeling broken. I’m leaving with hope. Thank you for creating a space where I could reconnect with myself and remember my worth."

"The affirmations, the grounding exercises, the sisterhood — everything was just what my soul needed. I feel lighter and more empowered to keep healing."

"I’ve been to a lot of self-help events, but this was different. It was deep. It was real. It was tender and powerful all at once."

"The session on confidence unlocked something in me. For the first time, I spoke up without apologizing for who I am. That’s huge for me."

"I’ve been struggling with self-love for years. This workshop didn’t just talk about it — it gave me practical ways to start building it from the inside out."

"Susanna, your authenticity is contagious. You reminded me that healing isn’t linear, but I’m allowed to take up space and thrive."

"I came for empowerment and left with sisterhood. Thank you for building a space where Black women like me could show up fully and not feel judged."

"I didn’t know how much I needed this until I sat in that circle. Thank you for helping me remember that I’m not alone in this journey."

"Enjoyed a range of different topics, personal perspectives and experiences. Learning about the historical trauma of the black community and how this is carried today."

"I am pleased to provide a reference for Susanna's workshop on black identity in counselling. As a seasoned counselling lecturer with 27 years of experience, I was impressed by the quality and depth of this workshop. It was a reflective and challenging journey, exploring the complex issues of race, identity, and culture in therapy. Susanna's workshop encouraged participants to confront their biases, expand their perspectives, and embrace diversity in their practice. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to grow personally and professionally as a counsellor. - Tommy Silver Director Brighter Teaching Academy"

"I learnt about something I was unsure about and felt uncomfortable talking about it. The open discussion made me realise that it is ok to talk about race and the lived experiences of the black community."

"Everything was so informative and insightful, learning what the black community have endured, how they have and still overcome challenges and how it has affected generations."

"Very informative, Interesting and educated me on the historical trauma and black identity. Thank you."

"The history I really enjoyed I was also shocked as this was the first time hearing this and more so it is relevant to our time and counselling."

"Learning about history and relating it to counselling Susanna is very Passionate and understanding which makes it very enjoyable to learn from her."

"Fantastic workshop I enjoyed everything, I reflected on past experiences and how we sometimes put things down to race instead of being brave enough to talk about it."

"I enjoyed the workshop every part, it made me glad for my experiences and I learnt about black inventors I never knew about. Thank you."

"Discovered new theorists that I did not know about, background knowledge on past slavery and how it has impacted the black community."

"Helped me understand the challenges and experiences of black people and how that may affect them in therapy."

Thank you, Susanna for guiding me through this journey, the world needs more people like you a beautiful soul inside and out May God keep blessing you"

"Navigating the complexities of personal relationships left me feeling overwhelmed and isolated. Seeking therapy with Susanna was the best decision. Her insightful guidance and compassionate listening helped me uncover patterns and build healthier connections. The journey wasn't easy, but with Susanna's professional support, l've experienced profound personal growth and renewed hope the whole time i was seeking for something that was within me. Thank you, Susanna for being there every step of the way, for helping me love myself again and value myself."

"Susanna has an incredible ability to hold space for others, honestly people need to understand the heaviness a therapist carries when navigating their own challenges, this takes incredible strength. She created a safe, compassionate environment where I feel truly heard and supported. It's easy to assume that therapists have everything figured out, but Susanna's authenticity and strength show that she understands life's struggles on a deep level. Her empathy isn't just professional—it's real, and that's what makes her the best therapist I have ever worked with."

"My sessions so far have been legendary. I cannot believe it has only been four sessions and I am feeling a difference. Since our session I have reduced my intake; now I am on my way to stopping. I have never spoken about my life to anyone in the past over 40 years. I am in awe. I am finding myself again. I am no longer seeking acceptance from people or a bottle. God had sent you into my life for a reason. Thank you."

"Two of the best and most important things I have ever did in my life were having my children and having therapy—a life changing experience. I have had therapy in the past but it has never worked until I started having sessions with Susanna. I think she is absolutely brilliant and I have looked forward to every single session. She made me see parts of myself I never seen before, explored my childhood, and I was able to identify where my addiction started. I could not have done this without Susanna. You truly have been sent to me from Christ. If everyone went to therapy and had a therapist like Susanna, the world would be a better place. Fantastic experience."

"Never had therapy in my life before and I didn't know what to expect but it completely surprised me. Having a safe place where you don't feel judged and to express yourself was truly a win. I was not in a good place after the death of my mother and experiencing depression and chronic work stress. Susanna helped me to get my life back on track, gave me strategies to use which has changed my life, found peace and acceptance. I am now a much calmer person, not angry anymore, and I am working on myself at a deeper level. Thank you for helping me find myself and helping other people. Highly recommend."

"I would never have imagined just three months after being a victim of domestic violence for 10 years that I would be feeling how I am feeling today. I feel empowered and I feel like day by day I am getting stronger and on my way to healing. My sessions with Susanna have changed my mindset and changed my life. She not only made me feel accepted but made me feel valued and listened. My cup was empty, now it is full. I simply can't thank Susanna enough for the impact she has had in my life and most importantly giving me the strength to start life again with my daughter."

"My sessions with Susanna have been amazing. She's helped me so much and she makes you feel safe and welcomed. Every session I've had I've looked forward to and wasn't anxious about because she makes you feel like you're in a safe place.

I've seen such an improvement in myself from my first session to my last and I thank Susanna for that. I couldn't recommend her enough because she truly is the best."

My feelings were always validated and I always left the session with a sense of relief. I feel I have left counselling with a shifted mindset and a better outlook on my life and I will always have Susanna to thank for that."
