About Susan
She offers a straightforward, listening-based style. Sessions aim to give people space to talk and make sense of feelings. Susan encourages practical steps alongside exploring beliefs and past patterns.
With over 23 years of experience, Susan draws on several approaches to suit different needs. She often uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person. She also brings in existential ideas to help with life purpose and meaning, and psychodynamic thinking to look at recurring patterns from the past.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere and a focus on what they want to change. Conversations look at emotions, choices and small actionable goals. There is an emphasis on supporting people through transitions like bereavement, separation or midlife re-evaluation.
Susan holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and speaks English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and practical details with the service.

How these approaches can work online
Susan draws on client-centred, existential and psychodynamic ideas to guide her work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person, which helps with immediate distress and building confidence. Existential work looks at questions of meaning and choice, useful for midlife re-evaluation and life-purpose concerns. Psychodynamic thinking helps identify repeating patterns that affect relationships and mood by exploring how past experiences influence present behaviour.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working to test what fits best. Sessions can adapt over time as needs change, with both short-term practical goals and deeper reflection available depending on what you want.
Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins during work breaks. They also let people choose quieter surroundings or skip being on camera when needed, which can help some clients engage more comfortably. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you arrange your first appointment.
