Susan Hewitt, BACP

Susan Hewitt is a counsellor with 13 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or unsure about relationships. Susan aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through.

She focuses on practical ways to cope with difficult feelings and life changes. Sessions often cover worries about self-esteem, motivation, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and challenges around intimacy. Susan also works with people navigating career strain, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD concerns, and issues linked to ageing and geriatric matters.

Susan uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. That can include exploring personal stories, looking at how past attachments shape present relationships, and using practical thinking tools to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage overwhelming thoughts and bring attention back to the present.

Across sessions she aims to be warm, direct, and collaborative. She invites people to set goals and to try small steps between meetings. Her BACP credential shows the professional registration she holds in the UK.

To begin, people usually complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedules. Susan explains options and works with each person to agree how they want to proceed.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings. Online conversations using this approach help people notice patterns in closeness, trust and fear so they can try different ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says. It helps people feel heard and to build their own solutions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, investigates unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and encourages small practical experiments to change them.

Choosing the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Plans can change as progress is made and new needs emerge, with the therapist guiding those decisions together with the client.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be run. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It also lets people use methods such as mindfulness exercises and structured CBT tasks between meetings to make steady progress.
