About Susan
Susan Hewitt helps people facing worry, stress and life changes take manageable steps forward. She is a counsellor with 13 years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. Susan focuses on practical support and clear conversation rather than judgement.
She aims to make the first steps feel less daunting for someone seeking change. Susan commonly meets people dealing with anxiety and depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports people working through issues linked to addiction, grief, bipolar disorder, and parenting challenges. Phobias are included among the areas she has experience with. In sessions she encourages people to talk about what matters to them first.
She listens for patterns in how thoughts and relationships affect feelings. From there she helps clients try small, realistic changes to reduce distress and increase control over daily life. Susan draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs.
She uses client-centred conversation to keep the person’s priorities central. Cognitive behavioural ideas help when unhelpful thoughts and behaviours need shifting. Attachment and narrative perspectives are used when relationships and personal stories are shaping current difficulties.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People choose therapy for many reasons, and Susan aims to make each plan practical and tailored to the person’s goals.
How Susan’s approaches work online
Susan uses client-centred counselling which focuses on the person’s priorities and aims to create a supportive space for talking. This approach helps people explore feelings and identify what they want to change.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and phobias where practical steps and behavioural experiments reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which allows for flexible scheduling. Video calls are good for conversational sessions, phone sessions can fit more easily into a busy day, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care alongside work and family commitments.
