About SEA Counselling
Meet Sue Edwards-Akad
Hello, my name is Sue, and I’m a person-centred therapeutic counsellor and trained life coach based in Wrexham, North Wales.
I counsel because I’ve seen the difference it can make to people’s lives; it can have a meaningful and lasting impact on their wellbeing. I’m passionate about providing mental health support to adults experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, or life changes, offering understanding and support as they navigate through challenges.
I use a person-centred, integrative approach, which means you decide what we discuss in each session. I create a safe, calm, and accepting space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insight into your experiences, and develop ways to cope and move forward at your own pace.
I offer face-to-face, telephone, and online sessions in Wrexham, along with free introductory phone sessions with no obligation, allowing you to see if my life coaching services feel right for you.
“When someone really hears you without passing judgement, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mould you, it feels damn good.” Carl Rogers

Why Counselling?
There are many reasons you might be considering speaking with a counsellor for mental health support. You may be feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed, anxious, alone, or low in mood. These feelings can arise from significant life events, loss, health challenges, trauma, or simply the ongoing pressures of everyday life.
Whatever your situation, it’s important to remember that everyone’s experience is unique. A counsellor can provide personalised counselling and one-to-one support tailored specifically to you, offering a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement.
Counselling can help in many ways, including:
- Processing difficult feelings or trauma
- Understanding emotional neglect
- Breaking unhelpful patterns
- Developing greater self-awareness
- Navigating challenging relationships
- Adjusting to major life changes
- Boosting self-esteem and confidence
- Coping with grief and loss
Additionally, if you're looking for life coaching services, these can further enhance your journey towards mental well-being.
How I Can Help
I provide personalised counselling in a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space. My approach is person-centred, meaning I focus on understanding you and supporting you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
In addition to personalised counselling, I also offer life coaching services. As a trained life coach, I can help you not only process challenges but also recognise your strengths, set achievable goals, and work towards positive change, all while providing essential mental health support.
