AREAS OF THERAPY
How I Can Support You
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we explore what you are carrying at your own rhythm, with warmth, acceptance, and no pressure to have it all figured out.
Specialist Practice
Pet Bereavement & Loss
Honouring the profound grief of losing an animal family member. You are not “just losing a pet” — you are grieving a deeply loved companion and daily anchor.
Bereavement & Loss
Holding space for grief when friends or society expect you to “move on”. Processing anticipatory grief, sudden loss, or complicated sorrow, finding a flicker of hope at your personal pace.
Anxiety & Depression
Breaking the vicious cycle of “fight, flight or freeze”, hypervigilance, racing thoughts, and persistent low mood. We explore root causes gently so you can regain balance, calm, and emotional relief.
Relationships & Self Worth
Tired of “wearing a mask” to please family, partners, or work colleagues? Uncover who you truly are beneath conditioned roles, navigate challenging relationships, and align your life with your values.
AREAS OF THERAPY
A Non-Judgmental Space Grounded in Real Empathy
I work using the Person-Centred model. In this approach, I do not see myself as the “expert” diagnosing or directing your life. Instead, you are the true expert on your own experience. My role is to offer the therapeutic conditions that allow your innate capacity for growth and healing to flourish.
1
Empathy
Deeply understanding your feelings from your personal viewpoint, without assumptions or critique.
2
Congruence (Honesty)
A warm, genuine, transparent therapeutic relationship where you can drop the facade completely.
3
Unconditional Positive Regard
Total acceptance of who you are, what you share, and where you find yourself today. No judgment. Ever.

Why “Path to You”?
A personal note from Susan Wilding
“I decided to name my practice ‘Path to You Counselling’ when one day I sat reflecting on my own life. The realisation hit me that the paths I had chosen — even the wrong turns — enabled me to learn and lead me to a contented, peaceful life.
Today, my deepest privilege is walking alongside clients on their individual journeys, helping them uncover the path that leads back to their authentic selves.”
Beyond the Therapy Room
I love walking in the countryside, connecting with nature, and spending time with my dog Duke. I believe the calming grounding of nature mirrors the calm we build within ourselves in therapy.
