About Susan
Susan Hewitt is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low, and those facing relationship difficulties, trauma or problems with self-esteem. She also works with people dealing with addiction, grief, parenting strain and life changes.
Susan uses straightforward, problem-focused approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She encourages practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions typically involve talking through recent events, identifying thinking or behaviour patterns, and testing small changes to see what helps.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-aware and client-centred ideas. That means looking at how current problems link to past relationships and how a person understands themselves. Narrative and mindfulness elements are used when helpful to widen perspective and build calm attention to the present.
Sessions are meant to be practical and paced to each person's needs. People can expect clear options and experiments to try, not long lectures. The counsellor aims to make sessions direct and focused on problems the client wants to solve.
Susan’s approach suits people who want a structured way to change thinking and routines. She asks about daily life, relationships and goals to build realistic steps. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Online work with CBT often means setting clear tasks, reviewing what happened during the week, and trying short experiments between sessions to check what helps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions; online conversations can map patterns and test new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the client’s own priorities and pace and is used to make sure sessions focus on what matters most to the person.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences, then suggests which methods to try first. That plan can change as progress is reviewed, and clients are invited to give feedback about what is or is not helpful so the approach can be adjusted.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use talking and written exercises from home and bring real-life situations into therapy for discussion without having to recreate them later.
