About Susan
Susan John is a BACP and NCPS-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and concerns linked to identity and LGBT matters.
Susan uses a practical, integrative approach that draws on different methods to suit each person. Sessions focus on thoughts and how emotions show up in the body, and she helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She offers short-term help for immediate coping strategies as well as longer conversations to build understanding.
In the room she listens for vulnerabilities and for strengths the client already has. That helps people understand responses to abandonment, attachment or control issues, and patterns such as avoidance or dissociation. She also addresses specific concerns like body image, sleep problems, eating issues and career stress.
Susan works with adults and younger people and uses techniques from Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness. These tools are blended rather than applied rigidly, so sessions can shift to what feels most useful that week.
She accepts clients from outside the UK and runs sessions in English. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then booking a first session, which lets the client and Susan agree practical goals and a way of working.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Susan blends Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide her work online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a person-led conversation where the counsellor reflects what is said and supports the client to find their own solutions; this suits practical concerns like stress and low self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong feelings and the patterns those feelings create in relationships, which can be useful for intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as the relationship develops. That means sessions can move between coaching-style coping strategies and deeper emotional work depending on what the client needs.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit work into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when that's needed, and remove travel time. It also lets clients try different ways of working from their usual surroundings, and Susan will help pick the format and pacing that best fits practical life demands.
