Susan's Story

My story …. so far!

In all aspects of my work, I wish to promote...

                   Equality: Diversity: Inclusion

I am a coaching and well-being consultant offering services across Scotland,  the UK and beyond. I am available for private consultations, workshops, training and consultancy.

‘Life is for living... live with purpose and no regrets!

Dr Susan Chan: Professional Bio

I have a Professional Doctorate from the Business and Society faculty at GCU, an MSc from Aberdeen University and a B.Sc. (Psychology) from the Open University.

For over 15 years, I have worked in education, health, business, and society, providing research-led trauma and resilience-informed services across Scottish communities. I have coached and trained people to fulfil their potential with an integrated approach to enhance personal and professional well-being.​ I assist people who may be neurodivergent and offer assessment and coaching for ADHD.

​I have advocated for social inclusion, diversity, equality, intergenerational resolution, and mental health. I am proud to be a consultant with SAMEE in their ‘Leadership, Mentoring & Well-being Programme’.  In addition, Susan is a lead consultant at Dumfries House, Health, and Well-being Centre for mindful compassion and clinical hypnotherapy. She is a psychotherapist and ‘Master Coach’, media consultant, author, and specialist in developing digital tools and podcasts. Susan’s background also includes experience in mental health, addiction, clinical work (e.g., those affected by cancer) and coaching.

As a consultant, I have presented to groups across all levels of business and education, and I am a business mentor with the Chamber of Commerce. During the last four years, I have offered a weekly podcast, ‘To Weather the Storm’.

I am passionate about helping people to unlock their potential. I am a creative and energetic change consultant. I work with dynamic and positive people who are ready to embrace life.

At New Horizons, we have experience and a proven track record. 

 

With my associates, we help people re-balance, gain resilience, overcome stress, and attain positive mental health and well-being. We also offer ‘in-house training’ and digital platforms, CPD, leadership, innovation and positive change programmes. We also provide supervision and mentoring.

​For over 15 years as a coach and psychotherapist, I have been active as a diversity and inclusion practitioner.  I’m dyslexic.  I am often great at talking, solving problems, and being creative.  Sometimes, dyslexia affects the way I process, store and retrieve information.  We should celebrate different unique strengths and differences.  Recently, I’ve found that there has been an increase in the number of people asking me about getting help with neurodiversity.  Our brain is unique, and we also have a uniqueness in how each brain is ‘wired’.  My practice focuses on and specialises in neurodiversity coaching.  Maybe, like me, you have someone close to you who is curious and searching for support.  I am neurodiverse, and I have faced challenges in school, university and in the workplace.  I was often quizzed about being ‘different’… neurodiverse.  If you have ever found yourself or a family member who has been challenged, know that there is help available. I assist people who may be neurodivergent and offer assessment and coaching for ADHD.
