About
From Individuals, Couples and New Families, to Business Owners, and Corporate Women and Men
Graduating in 1982 from the University of New South Wales, Sue was drawn to working with mothers and families in the perinatal space. She has worked in over 10 hospitals since then in metropolitan Sydney in both the public and private sectors. Sue has worked in the neonatal intensive care (NICU), paediatrics, oncology, aged care, and palliative care units. Notably, she was involved in consulting in the roll-out of the palliative care unit for Ramsey Health. In 2004, Sue undertook further study and became an accredited Mental Health specialist and spent 8 years training in Clinical Medical Hypnotherapy. From there, she went into private practice where she is currently still working. Over the years Sue’s work has expanded from the perinatal space to also encompass men’s mental health, high functioning professionals health and the core issues that underpin the human condition.
On the home front, Sue has been involved in many community organisations along the Northern Beaches and North Shore and has received several awards and accolades for her services.
Sue has been married for 40 years and has 3 children and 5 grandchildren (and growing) whom she adores. Sue is an avid swimmer; you can often catch her down at Freshie or swimming the Bold and Beautiful. She is passionate about AFL and was a board member of the Manly Wolves for 7 years which saw the club win 5 premierships in 5 years.
