Client Reviews
“Sue Tavener Waugh is a strong, matter of fact person paired with kindness, patience and compassion. These valuable characteristics offered a safe haven for me at the highest anxiety period of my life.
Sue was able provide necessary tools to calm me and set me straight which allowed healing to begin. Essentially, Sue gave me back my life! Without her, I would still be struggling with everyday living and life. Sue is simply wonderful and I feel blessed to have her in my life.”
“I feel like I am getting my life back on track as I can now understand anxiety and am learning to manage it. After each session with Susan I feel like I have been hugged by an angel. Thank you Susan so very much. You have changed my life in the most positive way.”
“We want to formally thank Sue for saving us. Sue is so special and so precious to us. We thank God for bringing Sue into our lives. God bless you Sue for being so wonderful, caring and for your amazing anxiety and depression counselling skills.
I continue to this day to refer Sue to any family or friends who are going through a struggle with anxiety or depression as I know first hand that with Sue’s help they will learn the skills they need to live their best life.”
“Before I met Sue Tavener-Waugh I had been suffering from GAD with an emphasis on my health. I had reached a stage with the help of the great info on Anxiety Centre but even when I thought it was gone (2 years) it returned and so it continued to do so. I finally decided that it was time to get professional help and because Sue had been with the Anxiety centre and was highly rated (and was a fellow Australian) I booked in and started therapy. From August 2020 till September 2021 Sue taught me about boundaries, labels, values, healthy relationships and the art of resilience (a big one for me) and the different levels of anxiety recovery. I really enjoyed the convenience of the skype calls from home as well. Sue is down to earth with a great sense of humour which I’m sure is needed in the job.
Sue provided me with a practical realistic approach to help me stay anxiety free. I would highly recommend Sue Tavener Waugh to anyone struggling with anxiety.”
