About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin is a counsellor with 17 years' experience who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and phobias. She also helps with relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Susy works with a broad range of concerns including trauma, grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and depression.
Susy explains things simply and offers practical tools rather than long analysis. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful patterns and learning small, repeatable steps to change them.

Approaches that support calmer thinking online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them and then focus on values-based actions. It can help with anxiety, stress and patterns that keep someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and habits; it is often used for anxiety, phobias and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions and can help people understand trust, intimacy and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susy treats approach choice as collaborative. She will talk with each person about their difficulties, goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a clear visual connection matters. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style work or when written reflection helps. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
