About Susanna
Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a counsellor with 15 years' experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and life changes. She holds a BACP credential and works from the United Kingdom. Susan focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or worn down find clearer direction and steadier day-to-day coping.
She creates a warm, compassionate space where clients can talk through worries and make practical plans. Sessions centre on the concerns the person brings, with agreed goals and steps to move forward.
Background and approach
Susan uses straightforward language and keeps sessions focused and manageable. Susan blends several ways of working to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions.
Cognitive-behavioural techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotion-focused ways of working help when feelings feel confusing or too strong. Her range of concerns includes stress, addictions, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship problems, trauma and sleep issues.
She also supports people facing parenting strains, career crossroads, ADHD-related challenges and coping with serious illness or caregiving demands. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. People from outside the UK may also work with her.
Getting started involves a short questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit the client.
How Susan’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early and close relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions can help uncover these patterns and develop safer ways of relating to others and to yourself, useful for anxiety and relationship worries.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for low self-esteem and life direction issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will discuss which methods suit a person's goals and preferences and adapt the plan as therapy progresses. That means the first few sessions often focus on what feels most helpful and practical.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is helpful when visual connection matters, while phone calls can fit around busy schedules or lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These flexible formats make it easier to work around work, caregiving and travel commitments, and to keep continuity when life gets disrupted.
