About Susan
Susan Spooner is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Susan also focuses on issues such as attachment, communication problems, isolation and social anxiety and phobia.
She approaches work by treating each person as the expert on their own story. Sessions are practical and straightforward. The aim is to identify strengths and build on them so people can handle immediate problems more easily.
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and the fallout from divorce or separation. She helps people talk through guilt, shame and forgiveness, and practises steady strategies for self-love and confidence. Conversations include goal-setting and small, doable steps to practice outside sessions.
Her way of working is collaborative. She listens, reflects, and suggests approaches that match the person’s needs. Over time clients learn tools to reduce intense reactions and to cope better with everyday pressures.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical steps people can use to manage symptoms. One common approach is cognitive work that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; this can reduce the intensity of anxious reactions and panic. Another approach involves gradual exposure to feared situations in small steps, which is useful for social anxiety and phobia and for reducing avoidance behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make decisions together with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative planning helps match techniques to real-life situations the client wants to change.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video if that helps someone focus. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which session arrangements they offer when you start the short matching process and schedule a first appointment.
