Professional statement

Dr Sue Peacock is a consultant health psychologist based in Bedford and Milton Keynes, who focuses on improving people’s ability to manage their chronic pain and adjust to the different circumstances and challenges faced every day.

Dr Peacock has a PhD in psychology, is registered as an advanced hypnotherapy practitioner, an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner and has diplomas in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and life coaching.

She uses a variety of psychological principles and theories in her clinical practice, drawn from her broad knowledge base of various different therapeutic techniques and approaches. Dr Peacock tailors an approach to each individual patient and considers how life experiences affect each person, taking into consideration how a person views themselves, how they think, feel, behave towards others and live within their relationships and everyday life.

Dr Peacock has also published four books relating to how patients can empower themselves to manage their chronic pain and other long term health conditions.

I have seen Sue for some time now and have recommended her on several occasions. She has a warm friendly manner and is easy to talk to especially when some things may be of a personal nature. Using a variety of methods to achieve the aim. I found hypnosis to be very calming
