Sue Byrne
Cindy Barnes

We both work in private practice, Cindy in Cookham, Berkshire and Sue works in Ealing, West London. We have worked at the Metanoia Counselling Service and at Ealing Abbey Counselling Service. Both places offer counselling to the local community.

We have worked with wide range of people , covering issues such as depression, stress, anxiety, health, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, self esteem,eating disorders, life transitions, pregnancy and infertility, identity issues, cultural issues, anger, trauma and abuse as well as many others.

We both trained at the Metanoia Institute in Ealing, which is recognised internationally as a place of teaching and learning excellence. We specialised in Counselling using Transactional Analysis (TA).

TA is a humanistic client-led approach to counselling. It is quite different in that the client is very involved in the process, which can be very empowering. We will work along side you rather than telling you what to do.

Often people will see counselling as a last resort but in our experience many of our past clients say they wished they had come at an earlier stage as they have found it so helpful and not as scary as they thought it would be.

They have also said they have found this type of counselling to be an effective and enriching experience as they felt included in the process.
