About Susan

Sessions emphasize building day-to-day skills for coping and problem solving.

Background and approach

Expect a calm, respectful space to talk things through. Her background includes long experience supporting people with work stress, trauma recovery, and caregiver burnout. She has worked with concerns that range from panic and anger to chronic illness and end-of-life stress.

That variety informs a flexible approach to each person’s needs. Therapy blends different methods to match what a person needs in the moment. Techniques might focus on changing unhelpful thinking, learning new coping skills, or processing painful memories.

The work aims to reduce immediate distress and build habits that help over time. Susan describes the process as collaborative. She helps clients identify values, set realistic steps, and track progress.

Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client, with ongoing adjustments as goals change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite hard feelings. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation or direction feels unclear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. It teaches concrete skills for managing mood, stress, and day-to-day reactions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional hold. It can be part of recovery from trauma and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses options and adjusts methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning aims to match techniques to what actually helps.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats let people fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during transitions, and use the communication style they prefer. Licensed professionals can use these options to teach skills, guide processing, and support steady progress over time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
