Clinic Manager
Sue co-founded The Haynes Clinic in 2009 after a career in social research and a life-changing personal journey through addiction and recovery. With a BA (Hons) from Exeter University and lived experience of recovery, she brings empathy, insight, and a deep commitment to supporting others. As a mother of four, Sue understands the impact addiction has on both individuals and their families.
“Recovery isn’t just about stopping—it’s about building a life you no longer want to escape from.”
“I believe that getting well is not just about stopping drinking or using. It is about believing – and experiencing – a much better life. It is about enjoying life and feeling fulfilled. It is about waking up each morning and not having to regret the day before. It is about not having to resist the urge to drink or use (that would be hard work) but about not wanting to do it anymore. Life is there for living – before we stop we are often just existing and are pretty miserable. This can change!”
