About SEA Counselling
Meet Sue Edwards-Akad
Hello, my name is Sue, and I’m a therapeutic counsellor. I’m passionate about supporting people through life’s challenges and helping them make sense of what’s going on in their lives so they can improve their mental health and wellbeing.
I use a person-centred, integrative approach, which means you guide the direction of the counselling process. I provide a safe, calm, and accepting space where you can explore the challenges you are facing, gain a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings, and develop ways to cope and move forward at your own pace.
“When someone really hears you without passing judgement, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mould you, it feels damn good.” Carl Rogers
Governing Body
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional association for members of the counselling professions in the UK, and operate under the ethical framework they have established to protect both clients and counsellors.

Why Counselling?
There are many reasons you might be considering speaking with a counsellor. You may be feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed, anxious, alone, or low in mood. These feelings can arise from significant life events, loss, health challenges, trauma, or simply the ongoing pressures of everyday life.
Whatever your situation, it’s important to remember that everyone’s experience is unique. A counsellor can provide one-to-one support tailored specifically to you, offering a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement.
Counselling can help in many ways, including:
- Processing difficult feelings or trauma
- Understanding emotional neglect
- Breaking unhelpful patterns
- Developing greater self-awareness
- Navigating challenging relationships
- Adjusting to major life changes
- Boosting self-esteem and confidence
- Coping with grief and loss
How I Can Help
I offer one-to-one counselling in a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space. My approach is person-centred, meaning I focus on understanding you and supporting you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
Alongside counselling, I am also a trained life coach, so I can help you not only process challenges but also recognise your strengths, set achievable goals, and work towards positive change.
