Re Susan Smith

The above is an excellent Hatha Yoga teacher , always giving clear verbal instructions and demonstrations of various yoga poses being mindful of individuals past history of injuries ,operations or ill health plus will always give alternative poses more suitable for the individual . Since Lockdown and Zoom classes the above attributes have become even more essential – especially now when almost everyone is focussed on physical , mental and emotional health & wellbeing . Also because of Sue’s occupation as a Psychotherapist and counsellor her classes have an extra dimension which adds to one’s general sense of wellbeing following her classes. I would readily recommend any person to her classes which are always varied and suited to any level of yoga & meditation plus they are great value for money –

I have been working with Sue for the past seven years. Sue is my miracle worker not only have I over come hundreds of limiting beliefs and personal challenges. Sue has helped me grow in self confidence, self esteem, self worth, self belief and to love myself. To build goals, believe in myself have vision and dreams and more importantly achieve them.
My biggest achievement since working with Sue is learning to believe in myself and knowing I will always be there for me and to trust in myself. I now know my mental health is as important as my physical health. I highly recommended Sue to everyone I know.
Sue’s meditation class is amazing it allows me to give myself an hour a week to switch off and work on me. It is truly amazing.
I started yoga classes with Sue over two months ago having never done yoga before Sue put my nerves at easy and I really feel the benefits of yoga in my body and my well being very quickly.

Is there anything I could have done to improve your experience?

No. I felt like at times we were going quite fast with things, but that was down to me because I was keen to work intensively and I think I got ahead of myself.
I found the sessions extremely helpful, and also enjoyed doing the homework as a form of maintenance in between. I would definitely recommend Sue to friends who have issues they want to work on and overcome.

TESTIMONIAL FOR SUE
What can I say? I am a big fan of Sue, having attended her classes whenever I could for the last 17 years, the only thing that ever stopped me was work. So a big positive of the strange situation we all now find ourselves in, is that Sue’s classes are more accessible to me (thanks to Zoom and home working). In fact, when attending “in person” classes I always wished I could experience Sue’s relaxation prior to sleep, well this is now possible with her wonderful yoga nidra classes on a Thursday evening. A definite highlight of the week for me – like a mini mid-week therapy session – Sue’s background in psychotherapy shining through in her teaching.
Sue is kind, gentle and extremely passionate about yoga and sharing its benefits with her students to enhance their lives – whether that’s through posture work, pranayama (breathing techniques) or meditation.
Sue incorporates plenty of yoga philosophy into her classes in a very accessible way. I always want to grab a book after every single one of her classes to explore something she has shared.

Sue recognises that confidence is a key part of the journey. That happy people lose weight. Not people who’ve been told they’re fat, useless, ugly. For me that’s where it differs from other things I’ve done where a success story is measured in pounds. You tackle the demons, then you think less about it. Not “this is your life from now on. Always having to think about food. – Gemma

“I have been working with Sue since 2018. I noticed a huge difference in my confidence  immediately after our first session. We have worked together on confidence, self-love, inner child therapy, releasing trauma, and future pacing/vision work (to name a few). My relationships have improved dramatically during the last few years as well as my career. She listens carefully, finds patterns, and helps me to release the emotional roadblocks that are standing in my way. I’m truly grateful for our time together, and would recommend Sue to anyone looking to change their life for the better!

Would you come back to see me again for a different issue?

I certainly would. I found you very engaging, I felt a real connection to you and I could feel your own enthusiasm and passion for what you do. This relays back to your patients and they it in turn must generate within them their own passion and enthusiasm for working hard to get their head/heart space re-aligned.

One of the best decisions I have made is working with Sue Smith over the past few months. There are so many people in this field that come up on search engines, it’s a minefield and getting the right person can be difficult.  What attracted me to Sue’s profile was her qualifications and experience in several areas; psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, yoga, coaching to name a few. 
 
After one session with Sue I could immediately see that her experience, qualifications and vast knowledge would benefit my growth as an individual and within my career.  
 
She is professional, personable, she listens, she coaches and she challenges me to become the best that I can be.  I cannot recommend her highly enough and wish I had met her years ago!

I had always previously gone to Reformer Pilates and yoga was new for me. I know from my own experience you are certainly right that a beginner joining any of your classes will get all the help,  encouragement and instruction to get the most they can from the classes as will the more experienced attendees.
…your yoga classes are something I look forward to each week and it did not take me long to join a second of your weekly classes…
Thank you also for the few words of extra advice you will always give if asked at the beginning or end of any class. Indeed also if contacted directly by email………

Totally satisfied. You really helped me talk through issues that were bothering me and made me feel much more positive about myself and others.

I found our sessions invaluable. You helped me look at things in a different way, understand how and why I felt the way I did, and, through our discussions, enabled me to look and deal with issues in a far more positive way. Thank you very much for everything.

Given the time scale and circumstances, it met all of my expectations. Response to my initial request was excellent.
I was impressed that you had more than one coaching technique and that we found the one best suited to me

Just wanted to drop you line & say thank you for yesterday. 
Loads of the things that we talked about made perfect sense.
 
I still feel really calm inside & my mum even commented today on how much calmer I appear.
 
I had the best night sleep in a very, very long time last night!!
 
No wine (or should I say doughnuts!!) either last night or tonight & not because I have been resisting, I genuinely haven’t wanted it!!
 
No over eating.  In fact my husband is the cook in the house & he is working on his laptop in the living room at the mo.  Normally when this happens I would be drinking my wine & ordering a take away…tonight I am in the kitchen cooking dinner!!!
 
Thank you sooo much.  I know that i have an awfully long way to go but I feel as though things could change after all.

‘I cannot speak highly enough of Sue Smith. She uses a wide range of therapeutic skills, broad experience and top level of professionalism to help her clients. She has supported me through a number of acutely stressful situations and I am profoundly thankful to her for this.’

thank you <3 – LT

You are the most amazing teacher and the best I have ever had in 30 plus years of yoga. Each class is different and full of variety and I always feel cared for and safe. The readings during relaxation are an added bonus and very welcome.

I initially booked an appointment with Sue for anxiety which she helped me with immensely in just our first session, I left feeling so much lighter. During the course of 9 sessions that I had with Sue, I learned so much more about myself and in particular how some of my beliefs had been holding me back. Thanks to her help I am now on a new and very positive career path as well as feeling much more fulfilled and happier in my personal life. It is a good feeling to know that I can book an appointment with Sue if I ever need to and have recommended her to a number of friends.

I just wanted to say that over the last couple of weeks I have been exploring different online yoga teachers and realised how unique you are. As I’ve said before I really enjoy your classes but now appreciate how you unite yoga philosophy with breath work and poses, where as others only focus on one or two of these.

I am not even having a modest amount once a week, which I was initially allowing myself, as I don’t feel the need for it. Also I can walk past any displays of confectionery now without a second thought, which is a significant achievement. ~ Carol

Choosing the right therapist can be a very stressful experience. After meeting Sue for the first time I knew I had made the right decision. The vast knowledge and experience Sue has is immediately apparent. As is her warmth and compassionate empathy. She utilises a variety of techniques tailored to help each individual. The surroundings are also well thought out and help to alleviate any anxiety. Each session is very well prepared and this aids enormously as we all seek our way through the tangled web of life. Sue has helped me immensely and always goes the extra mile. I cannot thank her enough.

I met Sue three years ago while I was working for a narcissist boss and in an abusive marriage. Being abused as a child had left me not knowing how to set boundaries or be assertive.
I decided to get help therefore started exploring options for a suitable therapist. I came across many profiles however Sue’s profile stood out the most and I contacted her.
Since having regular sessions with Sue my life has completely changed. I run my own 3 successful businesses and have a great marriage. She has coached me into digging deep into what I want and need and helped me accomplish my goals.

Sue’s insight, expertise, sensitivity, knowledge has turned my gloomy life in to a beacon of sunshine ☀️

I am forever grateful and continue to have regular sessions so that I can continue to go from strength to strength!

I have been practicing yoga for the past 7 years in Bromley since I moved to this area. At first I tried a number of different teachers with various styles but finally found myself drawn to Sue and have been practicing yoga with her for a few years now.

Sue is a considerate and passionate teacher and is always willing to share her knowledge and wisdom with her students. She has much empathy and an understanding of many ailments and what is best for the student. She is thoughtful and inspirational guiding her students through the lessons,  always correcting our positions as she watches us. 

Nowadays working on line on zoom her instruction are clear and precise, enabling us to even practice with our eyes closed if desired. She often demonstrates, talking us through every move making the lessons suitable for beginners and the more experienced. Her classes are light hearted as is her personality and this makes for an enjoyable one hour session which often goes over as she is so generous with her time. Sue is an extremely dedicated teacher and it is obvious she loves her work. I, personally don’t know what I would have done without her over this past difficult year.
