Susan Lobb Counselling

Therapist

Susan Lobb

My name is Susan, and I am a New Zealand qualified and registered Counsellor working in the Taranaki area. My goal is to offer a safe and caring place for my clients to feel heard and understood. I work with all age groups and use different modalities, aiming to suit the client in front of me. I like to work within a positive framework and look at building resilience and helping clients find the authentic version of themselves. My aim is to listen and assist with the healing of my client. You are your own expert, and I want to work with what you know and feel, to achieve a different, more positive outcome.

My goal is to be a safe and caring place to come and talk. I want to have a space that is welcoming, confidential and without judgement. I aim to help you navigate the tough times and see a brighter future. I invite you to come and talk to me and see the person that I am and make your own judgement.

My aim is to show the client that they have the strength and resilience to enhance their life. Through the trials they may have gone through they have learnt lessons and gained knowledge of what works and what doesn’t. I like to help them realize their potential for life.

How May I Help You?

I am an open and caring person, accepting of all that come through my doors. I work within the Person-Centered theory, using CBT, SFBT and narrative. I am interested in helping with grief and use positive therapy to help see a brighter future. My aim is to work in a holistic way, following the principles of Partnership, Confidentiality and Care.

Youth Counselling

When I work with Children, I work at their pace using whatever the child feels comfortable with, Leggo play, art, narrative or written stories. Building a strong and trusting relationship is a key to this work.

Rural Based

I am based in a rural area in Taranaki, bought up on a dairy farm and farmed sheep and beef with my husband for 30+ years. My knowledge around the complexities and hurdles farmers have to deal with is learnt over a long period of time. I care for our rural community and am here to help young or not so young, Rural dwellers and workers, with online sessions during the week or in person sessions from my Inglewood Office on Mondays.
