About Susanna

Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a counsellor with 15 years' experience supporting people through strong emotions and life changes. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Susan offers a calm, compassionate presence and helps people set clear, realistic goals for change.

She creates a straightforward space to talk about what is causing distress. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building coping skills, and finding small steps that feel doable. She draws on several approaches to match what each person needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Susan commonly helps people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship issues and anger. She also supports those facing addictions, sleep problems, career strain and difficulties linked to trauma or loss. Practical problem solving sits alongside emotional work to help daily life feel more manageable.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for what matters most to the client and helps them plan achievable changes. Sessions aim to increase resilience, improve communication and reduce unhelpful patterns.

Susan works with individual adults and offers sessions in English. She accepts international clients who can work in English. People start by describing their immediate concerns and then agree a way forward together.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy helps identify how past relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions. It can be useful for people who want to understand why they respond strongly in relationships and learn new ways to connect. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person sets the pace and priorities; it helps people feel heard and make choices that fit their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will discuss different ways of working and agree on methods that match your goals and preferences. That collaborative choice happens early and can be adjusted as progress is made.

The therapist's listed session formats include messaging, phone and video. Please confirm the exact options available when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a brief phone check-in can be scheduled around work, and video sessions allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Messaging can offer a way to share thoughts between meetings when that feels helpful. These practical benefits help make regular contact more manageable while the therapist and client work on goals together.
