Susan McGrattan, NCPS

Susan McGrattan is a licensed therapist in the United Kingdom who brings extensive experience supporting adults, children, teenagers, and students. She offers personalized, integrated counselling tailored to each person's individual needs and circumstances, helping clients navigate a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, bereavement and loss, relationship difficulties, self-harm, low self-esteem, and trauma.

Recognising that anxiety often signals underlying issues, she works collaboratively with clients to uncover root causes and build practical emotional coping skills that support greater resilience and more fulfilling daily life. Susan frames therapy as a partnership in which the client is the expert of their own story, and she provides space, empathy, and non-judgmental guidance as people explore change and healing.

Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, and Susan approaches that moment with respect for its courage and significance. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and aims to offer compassionate, tailored support to help clients move toward the outcomes they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that align with what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns that form early in life and how they affect current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and attachment concerns.

Susan McGrattan works collaboratively with clients to identify which approach or combination of approaches fits best, guided by each person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the process and is reviewed together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by making sessions available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or geographic limitations, and allow registered professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support in a format that suits each client.
