Susan Ricketts

Counsellor

I am originally from the UK and emigrated to New Zealand in 2018. I have been supporting clients (children and adults) since 2004, and supervising/training practitioners to develop therapeutic competences since 2010. My passion is to facilitate well-being for every individual I work with, supporting them on their transformational journey. I utilise a selection of approaches through a trauma informed and responsive lens including: Person Centred counselling, Sandplay Therapy (adults and children), Play therapy, Creative therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP, Life-coaching, Mindfulness and Meditation. I am a Youth Mental Health First Aider, a Suicide intervention practitioner, and family violence Co-ordinator. This means I am highly skilled at risk-assessment and safety planning. I have supported victims of Family violence since 2018 (including referrals from the Ministry of Justice), with extensive knowledge of connected processes such as Police Safety Orders, Protection orders and Parenting orders. I am also passionate about supporting clients that are Neurodivergent. I advocate, counsel and support individuals with ASD, ADHD and ODD. This includes educating teachers, parents and children about ASD/ADHD, signposting to funding, training, and respite services. Give me a call and we can identify the outcomes you want to achieve and how I can help.
