She offers one-to-one support for adults and young people who are facing anxiety, stress, grief, relationship difficulties and a wide range of life changes.

Sessions focus on understanding what’s keeping difficulties going and on building skills to manage day-to-day challenges.

Her background includes work with trauma, addiction, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue, and she also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress and neurodivergent concerns such as ADHD. Susan uses a mix of approaches to match the issue at hand and the person’s preferences.

Susan holds NCPS, which is shown as NCPS in her details. That credential is part of her presented profile and reflects her professional identity.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It focuses on values and small actions that build a meaningful life alongside distress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people test and change unhelpful patterns to reduce symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, concentrates on emotions in the moment and is often used when relationship feelings and attachment issues are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that suit the person and review progress, adjusting the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Some people prefer an option that lets them choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins on busier days. The original biography does not list which session formats are available, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they fit your routine.
