About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. She also supports concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating problems, and work-related issues.
Susy focuses on helping people notice the thoughts and habits that keep them stuck. She uses straightforward practices to calm emotional reactivity and reduce overthinking. Sessions emphasise practical steps rather than long analysis, so people can try different responses between meetings.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance and values-based ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening inform how she works with relationship and intimacy difficulties. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills are sometimes used for emotional regulation and coping.
She describes her work as mindset and practical change work. That can include identifying limiting beliefs, breaking self-sabotaging cycles and rebuilding trust in yourself. People who prefer concrete tools and short-term skills often find this style useful.
Sessions start with a clear discussion of what is most pressing. Goals are set together and reviewed as work progresses. Susy asks people to try small experiments between sessions so they can test new ways of thinking and acting in daily life.
How Susy applies CBT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Susy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new responses in daily life. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short experiments to change thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions linked to personal values. ACT supports people who want to reduce struggle with painful feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.
Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and trust issues are central. This approach looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps people practice different ways of relating.
Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. Susy will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together. The client’s feedback guides whether sessions emphasise CBT exercises, ACT-based values work or attachment-focused conversations.
