CORONATION Street's Sue Cleaver has revealed she has a secret side career as a psychotherapist. The actress, who has played cobbles matriarch Eileen Grimshaw for 23 years, developed an interest in the discipline after spending time in the therapists chair herself.
Speaking in the new edition of Prima magazine, she said: "It might surprise people to know that I’m also a trained psychotherapist. "It all started when I had therapy myself 10 years ago and it transformed my life.
I developed a fascination with it. It was my therapist who said, ‘I think you should train – you’d be good at this.’ "I studied for three years, but I had to defer my fourth year as it coincided with Corrie’s Pat Phelan storyline [a big story arc for Sue’s character, Eileen, who married the soap villain]. "There was no way I could do my job and also write my thesis at the same time.
I’m officially allowed to practise as a psychotherapist now, but I’d still love to go back and complete my fourth year one day.” READ MORE ON SUE CLEAVERSlim Sue I’m A Celeb’s Sue Cleaver looks thinner than ever and worlds away from CorrieNAKED AMBITION I'm A Celebrity's Sue Cleaver reveals shock naked moment not seen on-screen Sue, 59, was a campmate in the latest series of I'm A Celebrity...
