She also supports people dealing with relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger and career pressures.

Sessions include talking through current problems, learning techniques to manage emotions, and practising new coping skills between meetings.
Her background includes a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a Graduate Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy and a certificate in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
Clients can expect collaboration on clear, achievable steps. Susan draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. Work often focuses on changing unhelpful thinking, improving communication and developing steadier routines for sleep and mood.
Sessions may address specific issues such as bereavement, addiction, migration stress, caregiving strain, body image and relationship separation. International clients can be supported in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled via the online booking tools.
How her approaches fit into online work
Susanna commonly blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing responses to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep and habits that feed stress.Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment fears and attachment issues. Client-centred work emphasises clear listening and helping people set the goals that matter to them, supporting those coping with life changes and caregiving stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and she treats it as collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences and practical needs, then choose methods to try and adjust them as work continues.
The biography lists messaging, phone and video as offered formats, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins by phone when needed, or let people choose video for more face-to-face time. Practical scheduling and how tasks are practised between sessions are discussed in the first meeting to fit therapy into everyday life.
