Susannah "Susy" Rudkin

Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, addiction, grief, trauma, relationship problems and difficulties with focus or mood. Susy uses straightforward language and practical steps to help people find calmer thinking and clearer choices.

Susy describes her work as mindset and empowerment coaching alongside integrative counselling. She listens for the patterns that keep someone repeating the same problems. Then she offers tools to calm reactivity, challenge limiting beliefs and break unhelpful cycles. Sessions focus on small, practical moves rather than long analysis.

Her background includes training as an Integrative Counsellor and membership of the BACP, plus coaching qualifications such as Energy Leadership and neurolinguistic programming. She brings 17 years of experience to her sessions and combines coaching skills with therapeutic listening.

People who come to Susy often want clear steps they can practise between sessions. She works in a present-focused way and helps clients try new habits, test unhelpful thoughts and rebuild confidence. The pace is collaborative and geared to each person’s day-to-day life.

If someone is unsure whether coaching or counselling better fits their needs, Susy offers an initial clarity conversation to talk it through and see what feels right. That chat gives a sense of how she works and whether to proceed.

How Susy’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers straightforward exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It commonly helps with anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness, and can be useful when intimacy, abandonment or attachment issues are present.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as progress unfolds.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to use tools between meetings. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require video if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to keep momentum between face-to-face contacts and to make therapy more accessible to everyday life.
