Susanna Newsome, BACP, NCPS

Susanna Newsome is a therapist credentialed to practice in both the United Kingdom and Italy, bringing 17 years of professional experience to her work. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which reflect recognised professional training and affiliation with established counselling bodies. Fluent in English and Italian, she offers therapy in either language to meet clients where they are.

Susanna is trauma informed and attentive to the particular needs of adults with dyslexia, and she has developed clinical experience supporting people through relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, career difficulties, and major life transitions. Her practice emphasises a nonjudgmental, accepting environment where clients are invited to explore their thoughts and feelings openly. Susanna works collaboratively with each person to identify priorities and to develop practical ways forward that align with their values and circumstances.

She also addresses related concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, hoarding, immigration-related challenges, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, self-love, women's issues, workplace dynamics, and difficulties common to young adults. Susanna supports both local and international clients, helping them take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and manageable life.

Client-centered approaches and online support

Susanna works from a client-centered perspective, which focuses on creating an empathetic, non-directive space where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach is helpful for people seeking clearer self-understanding, improved relationships, and support through life transitions.

She also integrates trauma-informed principles, paying attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and tailoring pace and interventions to each person’s needs. This orientation supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, and related stressors by prioritising safety and gradual processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Susanna collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the work as required so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible for people in different locations to connect with registered professionals and therapists, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care when in-person sessions are not practical.
