Background and approach
She treats motivation and confidence as skills that can improve with practice. In her work she draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values.
Dialectical behaviour skills and client-centred listening are part of the mix when emotion regulation or relationship communication are the focus. Susan has supported people with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including addictions, eating difficulties, parenting strain and coping with life changes.
She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues and to challenges that can come with blended families or caring roles. First responder issues and dissociation are also within her experience. People who choose Susan can expect a collaborative plan that fits their life and goals.
She explains options plainly and helps prioritise small, achievable steps. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process manageable and steady.
How practical approaches work online
Susan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps towards those values while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns. She treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and then suggest tools that fit their situation. Together they review what works and adapt methods over time so sessions stay helpful. Online therapy with Susan is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and learning practical exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family duties and travel commitments.Questions people ask
