About Susan
Susan Gibson is a NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career concerns and compassion fatigue. She also lists a range of related issues such as abandonment, attachment questions, isolation and jealousy.
Susan uses straightforward talking therapy informed by client-centred practice. She listens to what matters most and helps people name the thoughts and feelings that get in the way. She combines this with cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck.
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding background patterns. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are drawn on to look at personal stories and long-standing relationship patterns when these are relevant. Treatment is adapted over time depending on how someone responds.
People often come with worries about social situations, work stress, past hurt, or low confidence. Susan aims to make sessions clear and predictable, with short-term goals and regular check-ins about progress. She also helps people consider how habits at work and home influence stress and anxiety.
If someone wants to begin, the process uses a short matching questionnaire and then a scheduled first session. International clients are accepted and sessions are carried out in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Many of Susan's sessions draw on client-centred work, which focuses on listening carefully to what someone wants and building a collaborative relationship. This approach helps when people feel unsure about what to say or need a clear, person-focused conversation.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to reduce worry and avoidant patterns. Motivational Interviewing appears when someone wants to change a habit or move towards a goal but feels stuck; it supports clarity and commitment through focused conversation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will discuss options and tailor the mix of methods based on someone’s goals, preferences and what proves most useful over the first few sessions. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow for different ways of working, such as focusing on thought-change exercises or structured goal-setting that suit remote sessions.
