Hello, I am Sue Parker Hall

I’m a relational transactional analyst (psychotherapy), a BACP (senior accredited) counsellor and a supervisor qualified at masters level and an EMDR practitioner; I am author of ‘Anger, Rage & Relationship: An Empathic Approach to Anger Management (2008, Routledge) and train professionals nationally and internationally in my approach (anger, rage, shame and grief programmes).

I hope you will accept my invitation to explore these pages which offer practical information about me and my practice, some areas that are of interest to me and a few philosophical ideas which underpin my work.

i hope you get to know me a little and, if you find my approach and ideas interesting, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the possibility of working with you or your agency.

my story

I became a therapist through having a good experience of therapy myself and deciding “I want to do that!” As I did my training I observed my trainer and decided “I want to do that!” I became a supervisor of practitioners in exactly the same way.

I am committed to the therapeutic relationship being both the crucible and the vehicle for change; I seek to engage in a co-created, respectful and supportive human relationship; this is the optimal environment for my clients to connect with or develop any resource they need to have the positive outcome they want.

I support my clients to come to terms with what they have experienced, to deepen their relationship with themselves and to become more and more able to trust and utilise their own natural problem solving ability. I have observed that their lives become more and more manageable, more comfortable, lighter and more fun! Life is richer with many more possibilities and there is a feeling of more freedom.

I live and practice in Reawla, near Hayle, Cornwall as well as working as a therapist, supervisor and consultant online with people from all over the world.

I enjoy and feel supported by our beautiful environment, in particular the many sacred places in West Penwith and its cliff and beach walks.

I am an advocate of traditional relational psychotherapy and of free speech.
