About Susan
Susan Humphreys is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety and loss, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Her manner is calm and respectful, and she focuses on listening without judgement.
Susan places a strong emphasis on grief and bereavement support, helping people process loss at their own pace.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with life changes, low self-esteem and depression. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her practice pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, and she offers help around relationship questions such as commitment, separation and jealousy.
She also has experience with issues connected to chronic illness, cancer, caregiving strain and hospice or end-of-life matters. Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to how a person prefers to work. Sessions aim to combine empathic listening with practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
The pace and focus are agreed together so people feel involved in the process. Therapy is offered in English and can be delivered remotely, which can make it easier to fit sessions around work and caring responsibilities. She accepts international clients and works with people seeking clearer direction, improved coping and steadier emotional balance.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Person-centred work focuses on the relationship and what matters to you. The therapist listens attentively and helps you make sense of feelings without judgement. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk and to set their own pace.Evidence-based techniques are also used to give practical tools for managing anxiety and stress. These methods may include exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns, and simple skills to cope with strong emotions and day-to-day pressures. They are presented in plain terms and practised together in sessions.
Finding the right way of working is a shared task. The therapist will talk through options and agree a plan that fits your goals and preferences. That collaborative approach means adjustments can be made as you progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation when time and travel are limited. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and different time zones.
