About Susan
Her approach starts from the view that each person knows their life best. She listens for strengths and uses those as a basis for change. Conversations focus on practical ways to manage strong feelings and daily challenges. Sessions move at a pace set by the client.
In the room she helps people name patterns that keep them stuck and try different ways of coping. That might include simple strategies for handling anger and anxiety day to day. She also works through grief and identity issues with empathy and clear goals.
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to fit individual needs. She keeps things straightforward and avoids jargon so people can use what they learn right away. The work is collaborative - the client and counsellor plan the next steps together.
People who choose her often want practical support for strong emotions and life changes. She supports parents handling stress, those facing grieving, and people managing attention differences. Her style is calm, direct and focused on real-life results.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is problem-focused work that helps people spot unhelpful habits, try small experiments and build better coping routines for anger and anxiety. Another is supportive processing, which helps people work through grief, identity issues and strong emotions with steady, empathic conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss different ways of working and jointly decide what fits the client's goals and preferences. The client and counsellor regularly review progress and adapt methods as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity when routines change, helping people sustain steady progress between sessions.
