Is this for you?

Let’s see… you’re probably one of the following:

You suspect you’re gifted, and you want to check it out with someone who knows giftedness, to see if you’re right, and figure out what to do about it.
You’re figuring out your giftedness, autism, and/or ADHD, and you want to get better at understanding and handling your magnificent, unruly, complex mind.
You’re somewhere between suspecting and being confident you’re gifted/autistic/ADHD, AND you want to work with someone who knows their stuff about neurodivergence AND work through current and past challenges that you just can’t seem to get past.

I offer confidential 1:1 support to help you understand your giftedness, and how it plays a role in personal and professional challenges.

If you’re a smart cookie but your emotions trip you up, and you want to have more ease and grace in the world, this is for you.

If you’re going through an unexpectedly stressful time and want some all-round support to help you steer a steady course through it, this is for you.

If you or your kids have high sensitivity or empath traits and want them to serve you, not stop you, this is for you.

If you’ve been tuning into your intuition for a while and want to access your intuitive capabilities more clearly, reliably and accurately, this is for you.

"I was looking for a therapist who was also gifted. I was feeling stuck and couldn’t get out of my own way. Your intuitive insights and ability to relate to and understand me helped me identify and release things I was unaware of.

I really felt you understood me and where I was coming from. Turns out having someone familiar with the ways I could hide from or avoid what I was feeling is a really smart way to get past my own defenses."

If you’re healing from childhood traumas and want to free yourself from old and out-of-date energies, this is for you.

If you’ve been working on your anxiety, emotional baggage, or mindset for a while and want to find the elusive magic combo that fixes it, this is for you.

If you’ve recently recognised your autistic, ADHD, gifted, or psychic-intuitive traits and want to feel more at ease with making sense of this new knowledge, this is for you.

If none of the above fit you exactly, but you’ve got the unmistakable feeling you should be doing this, this is for you.

Starting with the obvious: I’m gifted. Which means every conversation we have is between two gifted people. This in itself is therapeutic: a space where you can go at your speed, not hold back. Bring in all of you, and not have to hide the parts that unnerve people. Where your giftedness and other neurodivergences can just be, without the mask.

Each time we meet, we explore. You probably have a lot of questions. So do I. We figure out your goals and plot a course towards them. It’s a collaboration we create together, not ‘a process I do to you’.

You bring yourself, your bafflement, your desire to figure yourself out – and the headway you’ve made so far.

I bring in coaching, counselling, therapeutic approaches and psychoeducation about giftedness. Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, Humanistic approaches, and a whole bunch of other tools to help you explore, unravel, and get a better grip on who you are and how you operate.

Sounds like what you need? Drop me a message to get started.

"I came to Sue for some guidance based on a hunch. I did not expect her to be able to help me so directly and so quickly.

She certainly has a talent which I cannot place- somewhere between the pragmatic and the spiritual.

Be prepared to laugh, to reconnect, and to reconsider."

How do I know it'll work?

You might be wondering exactly what a 1:1 consultation looks like. While I’d love to tell you, I can’t. Each consultation is specific to you and what you need at the time. A cookie-cutter approach simply doesn’t work.

That said, we’re likely to include the following ingredients:

All of you
Physical, mental, emotional, energy, spiritual/philosophical, your history and context (this doesn’t mean you have to over your whole past in minute detail, the main strands of your story will do)

Your needs and aims taking centre stage
What we do takes you towards your objectives. You set the course. I help get you shipshape and set sail accordingly.

Learnable strategies and tools for day-to-day life
To bed these changes into your life, you need workable strategies tailored to you and your lifestyle. I make sure you get the strategies and tools to keep you on track and in good condition.

You tell me what’s going on for you and what you need. My laser-sharp intuition comes speeding into play to quickly identify and help resolve the key root issues going on for you, and we go from there.

"It really helped me to discuss with someone not in my day-to-day life. It allows me to be open and frank because I don’t give a shit. I don’t hold anything back – with you I don’t feel I need to.

It’s helped me to find some points of action. You remind me of ideas I’ve had but never told you about. I have more tools in my hand to go in a direction I think is good. That has helped."

Who are you?

I suppose I’d better tell you who I am ;-)

I’m Sue Mahony Ph.D.

I offer a unique combination of support that helps highly sensitive, intelligent people find and eliminate what’s blocking success – personal, professional, or both.

I help you shift out stories and beliefs that are past their sell-by dates, reorient and reconnect you to who you really are, and clear out the emotional baggage that’s weighing you down.

Drawing on a combination of systems-thinking, coaching & counselling, psychotherapeutic, Buddhist, and Shamanic approaches, and a metric fk-tonne of geeking out on these topics, I help you tackle your most pressing issues.

Whether you’re handling emotional baggage, mental blocks, relationship and self-worth issues, self-understanding, coming to terms with your giftedness and/or neurodivergence, or all of the above, amongst others, I can help.

I’m pragmatic and thorough in my approach: be prepared for a challenge!

MORE ABOUT SUE

What do your clients say?

"Sue is great at asking the kind of probing questions that shift the way I’m thinking, and making connections I hadn’t thought of. I always come away with a new perspective and new tools for handling things.

I am constantly amazed at the things she manages to find to poke at and then how much better everything works when she’s done! It’s very woo-y, she will bring up the things I’m not mentioning that she has no logical way of knowing about.

I highly recommend! 10/10 would woo again!"

"Sue has been a tireless and attentive support to me during a very difficult time.

During a stretch in which I was coping with numerous intersecting problems, Sue came prepared time and again with considered and researched suggestions and reflections. I could tell that Sue had been mulling over my issues and crafting tools specifically for me.

Drawing on scientific, energetic, spiritual and other resources, she offered useful advice that enabled me better to process trauma related to sexual assault, harmful power dynamics, injustice and resulting challenges in a variety of relationships.

She is not content to help in the moment but explains practices that allow focused solo work to fix the “emotional plumbing” and strengthen one’s emotional health and coping mechanism.

I enjoy Sue’s very practical metaphors, which insinuate themselves like climbing anchors on a rock-face, as well as her humor, professionalism and openness.

Sue is not only incredibly smart and intuitive, but also unusually kind and generous."

"Sue is the perfect balance of intuition, intellect, compassion, and proud geek.

When we work together, I feel completely supported in my spiritual beliefs and accepted for exactly who I am, an absolute must that I look for in a coach.

Sue supported me during a huge spiritual transition in my life that involved many nuanced inner changes as well as significant external life changes.

As I navigated the difficult areas of my life surrounding these changes, Sue offered intuitive insights while providing a safe space for personal exploration.

I see her as one of the key people who helped get me through this unique phase of intense growth."

"I LOVE this woman’s brain (and energy!)

We had a session and I instantly knew she was going to be amazing but she’s so relaxed you have no idea of the progress you’re making.

Within half an hour I had canned a business idea or two, given far more emphasis to a dormant one and even solved an emotional query around my son – just for good measure!

Sue was like a spotlight I didn’t even know I needed!"
