Nexus Consulting Services- Dr Susette Sowden

Please please do not take your children to this woman. Cable of serious damage.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD!For someone that was suppose help, all she did was create problems.My first dealing with her was when she told me my ex did not mean the family violence he inflicted on me & that I should go meet up and have a coffee with him to talk it out. She sided with an abuser, had us in the same room & made me tell him what he had done to me. I was absolutely horrified at what she did and couldn’t even say much as I was too scared so she deemed the family violence insignificant and not meant, also allowed cultural differences to be an excuse for the family violence.Then children attended her with myself and also separately with their father. She did not help the children, she helped the father. She would not listen to the kids fears and concerns. She secretly worked with the father diagnosing medical conditions that were not even relevant. My children were worse off seeing her and so was I.She is a very fidgety lady, is not calming at all, disorganised and all over the place. She yells at her reception staff in front of waiting patients, gets frustrated and angry.A very horrible experience. Finally working everything out and ending her services was the best thing I did for my kids!You can have all the qualifications in the world on paper, but people skills and caring matter more and are non existent here. She needs to retire!

20 years ago I had a complete breakdown totally gone, Susette has not only pulled me back from insanity but also she has helped me to finally grasp the horrors of my abusive childhood. It was done with Constant Compassion and empathy in her extremely professional and softly softly approach, she is never judgement or Uncaring, in twenty years I’ve come to know her as an extremely honest, caring and kind person with an incredible gift for help people of all ages to connect again.There is only one person I would send my children to or take anyone I cared about too and that’s this incredibly generous and knowledgeable woman…..

Absolutely appalling. Was referred for an adult ASD assessment, and within 15 minutes of meeting was told I was not autistic, and within the first appointment had received a preliminary diagnosis of a personality disorder I do not meet the criteria for. Lo and behold, after being clinically assessed elsewhere, it transpires that I am indeed autistic.Susette should not be offering these services when she clearly has no idea what she is doing. At best negligent, at worst, downright dangerous.

Dr. Sowden is a very empathic, understanding, and knowledgeable Psychologist whom I highly recommend.

Bad. Went here a few years ago, and she had downplayed my trauma as if it was just a simple mistake, and invalidated my feelings that I had about my abusive mum, saying that she had a right to be upset just because I didn't like her. Would not recommend.
