About Susan
Susan Blanchard is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She draws on three years of experience supporting people with anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. Her style is warm and approachable, aimed at helping people feel heard and calmer during difficult times.
Her background includes therapeutic work within NHS cancer services, so she is familiar with health-related distress and the impact of serious illness on everyday life.
Background and approach
She also has training and practical experience working with neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Susan’s core approach is person-centred counselling. That means she prioritises listening, empathy and acceptance, and adapts sessions to fit each person’s needs.
She aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where people can talk through worries and build clearer thinking patterns. In practice she helps people with a wide range of concerns. Common themes include anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, bereavement, work stress and health anxiety.
She also offers support with body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and communication problems. Sessions focus on practical steps and gentle exploration. Susan works collaboratively to identify small changes that make daily life easier.
Her goal is to help people feel more able to manage their thoughts and emotions and to move forward with greater confidence.
Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday life
Susan uses person-centred ways of working that focus on listening and understanding what matters to you. This approach helps when anxiety, low confidence or relationship worries feel overwhelming because it makes space for your experience and priorities.She also draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help with negative thinking and stress. These techniques help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small changes in daily routines to reduce worry and build confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fits your goals and preferences. That shared planning means sessions are adapted as progress is made and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls let you keep visual contact and use non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or writing out thoughts between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health appointments, while still receiving consistent therapeutic support.
