Susanne Templeton-Smith

Susanne is a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist holding a Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers both online and in-person therapy for adults aged 16 and over in Weybridge and East Molesey.

She understands that choosing to begin therapy can feel like a significant and sometimes difficult step. For this reason, Susanne is committed to providing a warm, open and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe, respected and genuinely heard.

Approach to Therapy

Susanne works from an integrative perspective, drawing on relational, humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural (CBT) approaches. She believes that the therapeutic relationship itself is central to meaningful change, offering a space where you can feel deeply heard, seen, understood and accepted.

Experiencing this kind of attuned connection can gently transform how you relate to yourself and others, often enhancing self-awareness, strengthening relationships and fostering a more secure sense of identity.

Her collaborative approach honours each client’s unique experiences and goals. Together, you may explore past relationships and formative experiences, current challenges and future aspirations. Susanne may also integrate somatic awareness into her work, helping clients tune into how emotions and experiences are held within the body. By noticing physical sensations, patterns and nervous system responses, therapy can support greater emotional regulation and a deeper connection between mind and body.

At the heart of her work is a therapeutic relationship that is authentic, empowering and grounded in mutual respect.

Prior to training as an integrative psychotherapist, Susanne worked within the NHS for over 25 years in adult nursing and family health.

Her professional background informs a holistic view of health and is one that recognises the interconnectedness of social, spiritual, psychological and physical wellbeing. Having worked with individuals across the lifespan, Susanne was inspired to deepen her commitment to care through psychotherapy, bringing her longstanding dedication to supporting others into therapeutic practice.
