She is passionate about supporting the emotional wellbeing of children, families, and educators through supervision, consultation, and training. Her professional interests include personal construct psychology, positive psychology, and finding creative ways to elicit and value children’s voices.
After her family contracted COVID-19 in 2021 and her teenage daughter developed Long Covid, Sue joined Long Covid Kids as Education Lead.
