Hello, I'm Sue

I am Sue Mansbridge MBACP, a fully qualified psychodynamically trained therapist offering therapy for adults aged 18 and over, both in person from my therapy room at The Treatment Hub in Basingstoke, Hampshire, and online throughout the UK.

My approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I believe therapy should provide a safe and supportive space where you feel able to explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and experiences without judgement and at a pace that feels right for you.

Throughout my career, I have worked alongside people facing some of life's most difficult experiences, including trauma, grief, loss, serious illness, and significant life changes. These experiences continue to shape the compassionate and thoughtful way I work today.
