Background and approach

Sessions aim to build small steps that add up to clearer thinking and steadier days. Her background includes work in a charity offering affordable counselling, support for university students and independent practice. That mix has exposed her to many different life situations and practical problems.

She draws on a blend of methods rather than a single model, choosing what fits each person. In therapy she commonly uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred ways of working, plus mindfulness practices. These help with unhelpful thoughts, difficult feelings and patterns in relationships.

Susan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and conducts video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. If someone wants to begin, they follow the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

How her approaches transfer to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters most and on taking small steps toward meaningful action, useful for anxiety, grief and motivation issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with sleep problems, low mood and anxiety.

Client-Centred Therapy offers a listening, non-judgemental space where the person’s priorities guide the work. This approach supports building confidence and self-understanding over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through what feels useful, try different techniques when needed and adapt plans to the person’s goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for longer sessions while phone sessions can work better when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins, shorter reflections or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, study and family routines while keeping therapy practical and focused.
