How her approaches work in online care

Susan draws on Client-Centred Therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person make sense of their feelings and choices. It often helps with stress, low mood and relationship concerns.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the impact of distressing events. This work aims to reduce the hold of painful memories and to build safer ways of coping with triggers and strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods as understanding grows. The process is collaborative, with the person steering the pace and focus.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Many people find it simpler to keep appointments this way while still getting practical support and personal reflection with a registered professional.
