Drawing on a person-centred philosophy, Susan emphasises respectful, sensitive and compassionate listening. She offers empathy without judgement and shapes conversations and treatment plans around each client’s unique needs and priorities. Her practice also addresses related areas such as self-esteem, isolation, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and issues around attachment and abandonment.

She recognises that reaching out for help takes courage, and she aims to support clients as they process new realities and move toward a more fulfilled and resilient life.

Person-centred and evidence-based approaches for online support

Susan uses a person-centred approach that emphasises listening, empathy and collaboration. This method helps clients explore feelings, build self-understanding and clarify what matters most to them, making it useful for issues such as grief, self-esteem, relationship concerns and major life changes.

Alongside person-centred work, Susan applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the individual's needs. These are research-informed strategies that focus on practical skills and coping methods to address symptoms of anxiety, low mood and stress and to support day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan works collaboratively with clients to identify which combination of person-centred dialogue and evidence-based techniques best matches their goals, preferences and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Susan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals while balancing work, family and other commitments.
