About Susan
Susan "Sue" Jensen is a PACFA counsellor with eight years of practice supporting people facing stress and anxiety. She writes and speaks plainly in sessions, helping clients name what feels stuck and take small useful steps forward. Sue focuses on building clearer communication and steadier emotional responses.
She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people juggling busy lives. Sue draws on therapies that help change unhelpful patterns. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thinking traps.
Background and approach
She also works with attachment-based ideas to improve how people relate to others. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Sue listens, reflects back what she hears, and suggests doable tools to try between sessions.
That might include simple behavioural experiments or short exercises to practise emotional awareness. She commonly supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, self-esteem concerns, trauma and depression. She also helps with social anxiety, intimacy issues and the effects of isolation.
First responder issues, grief around separation, and feelings of guilt or shame are within her focus areas. Sue works with individuals who want clearer boundaries and better day-to-day coping. Her room is calm and conversational, with an emphasis on practical change.
People leave with specific steps to try and a clearer sense of what to tackle next.
Approaches you can try online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can be useful for anxiety and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour and uses practical experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. This approach is often chosen for anxiety, social phobia and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sue will discuss options and jointly choose techniques that match a person's goals and preferences. She adapts methods as sessions progress, checking in often to see what helps and what needs changing.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting and other commitments.
