Susan Gibson, NCPS

Susan Gibson NCPS offers a person-centred approach that aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space for people facing life changes. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career challenges. The aim is to help people talk through difficult feelings and take small, practical steps forward.

With ten years of experience, Susan blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other approaches to match each person’s needs. She listens for patterns that cause distress and works collaboratively to identify manageable changes. Sessions tend to focus on what feels most urgent to the person in front of her.

Susan has worked with people dealing with compassion fatigue, feelings of emptiness, relationship problems, grief around separation, and issues linked to abandonment or attachment. She also supports those coping with impulsivity, jealousy, guilt and shame, and concerns related to domestic violence and infidelity.

The practice uses a straightforward, conversational style. Susan helps clients notice thoughts and behaviours that get in the way, then tries out alternative ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are used when people want to shift habits or reframe painful stories they tell about themselves.

Susan holds the NCPS credential, which is shown here as NCPS. Sessions are offered in English and she works with people based in the United Kingdom and international clients. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people make sense of feelings that feel confusing or overwhelming. This approach supports people who need a calm space to talk through midlife changes, career doubts or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. It is useful when anxiety, stress or low mood are linked to repetitive thinking or avoidance. CBT can help someone build step-by-step strategies to manage daily difficulties.

Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation feels stuck. It uses open questions and reflection to uncover personal reasons for change and to boost commitment to practical goals. This can be helpful alongside other approaches when people want to make career shifts or change long-standing habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work together with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can adapt over time as priorities shift.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as this profile does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can fit around work or family commitments.
