Susan John

Susan John offers a practical, person-centred way of working that pays attention to both thoughts and bodily experience. She describes her approach as holistic, helping people notice where emotions show up in the body and then gently work through them. Susan writes in clear terms that clients bring strengths and authorship of their own stories.

She uses a mix of methods chosen to fit the person and the issue. That can include talking through patterns in relationships, trying mindfulness exercises to calm a racing mind, or using focused attention to release strong feelings. Susan also uses short-term coping strategies when someone needs immediate relief.

Her background includes four years of practice and professional registration with BACP and NCPS, which she lists on her profile. She works with adults and young people and says she aims to be open, honest and non-judgemental in sessions.

Susan often helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and identity concerns. Additional topics she mentions include eating and sleeping problems, career strain and compassion fatigue.

In the first sessions she listens to what matters most and agrees practical steps with the person. Over time she helps people build understanding of patterns, try new ways of coping, and notice changes in mood or behaviour.

How Susan's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It involves open conversation, reflection and helping people find their own solutions, which suits talking online or by other formats. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and working with strong feelings in relationships and attachment; online sessions can be used to map those patterns and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and anxiety, and these exercises can be practised during or between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try approaches that match the person's current needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods if something is not working.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. It can make it easier to keep up regular sessions while balancing family, work or study commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will suit your circumstances when you arrange your first appointments.
