About Susan
Susan Walker is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with relationships. She works with adults facing issues such as low self-esteem, depression, addictions, parenting strain and intimacy-related difficulties. Susan is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member, BACP, and has 25 years of experience in practice.
She uses straightforward conversation to find what matters to each person. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
Susan aims to create an atmosphere of respect and sensitivity so people feel able to talk about difficult experiences. Her practice addresses trauma and abuse, family problems and separation, and common reactions such as anger, emptiness or dissociation. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, and the pressures first responders can face.
Eating concerns and intimacy-related problems are part of the range she handles. Clinically, Susan draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy, alongside DBT skills and hypnotherapy where helpful. In sessions she may mix talking, skills practice and brief guided exercises depending on the issue.
Susan accepts international clients and offers video, phone, chat and text-based sessions. She encourages people to take the first step and will help plan a way forward that fits their life and goals.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by shifting focus toward meaningful goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress because it gives clear tools to practise between sessions.
Susan will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She will listen to concerns, discuss options and agree a plan together. Sometimes approaches are combined so the client learns skills, explores values and practices new ways of responding.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs and routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, chat or messaging can suit short check-ins and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
