About Susan

Susan Walker is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also addresses addictions, grief, parenting strain and intimacy-related concerns.

Susan uses straightforward, practical methods. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then try different ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with clear steps to practise between meetings.

Her day-to-day approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work. That means she pays attention to thoughts and behaviours, helps people clarify values, and offers a listening style that centres the client’s perspective. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and hypnotherapy when these fit a person’s goals.

Susan has long experience across a range of life problems including family issues, communication and attachment concerns, divorce and separation, and first responder issues. She works with matters such as codependency, control struggles, dissociation and caregiver stress.

People who choose her can expect a practical focus - tracking what happens between sessions, testing new responses, and adjusting the plan as needed. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and are billed by subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Susan uses practical approaches in online work

Many of Susan’s methods translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood, unhelpful habits and relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions that match those values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about priorities.

Susan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss the options, try approaches that fit the person’s goals, and adjust the plan if something does not work. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to use and how to pace progress.

The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and making appointments that suit different time zones for international clients. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to hold shorter check-ins, use worksheets between sessions, and combine different techniques in a way that fits everyday life.
