About Susan
Susan Stewart is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and related concerns such as panic and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people facing career or parenting strains and those dealing with compassion fatigue.
Susan keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them notice patterns that make life harder. Conversations focus on practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings and on building small steps that feel doable.
Her approach draws on client-centred principles, which put the person’s perspective at the centre of the work. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past hurt affects current day-to-day functioning. Existential ideas help people think about meaning, choices and what matters now.
Susan has helped people with issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency and dissociation. She has experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence and people coping with hospice and end-of-life matters.
Sessions are intended to be a steady place to talk things through, plan practical coping, and practice new ways of handling difficult moments. Prospective clients are asked to follow the booking steps on the therapist’s profile to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says, helping them feel understood and clearer about their next steps. Online sessions can use that same conversational style to work through worries such as social anxiety or panic attacks.Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past experiences affect present reactions and teaches ways to reduce distress. When useful, this approach helps people safely process difficult memories and develop coping skills they can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and together they will decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical changes and clearer thinking.
The therapist's profile did not specify particular session formats. Before booking, confirm which online options are offered. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into work and family routines, reduce travel time, and make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when life is busy.
