About Susanne
Susanne Guy is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She also works with trauma, low self-esteem, depression and addiction concerns. Susanne aims to make the first step feel a little easier by offering calm, attentive conversation and practical ways to cope.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She listens first and follows the person’s pace. Susanne treats clients as the expert in their own life and focuses on understanding patterns that keep causing pain.
Background and approach
Susanne draws on a mix of approaches to meet different needs. She uses client-centred listening to build trust, psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns, and elements of existential and Jungian thinking to explore meaning and identity. Motivational Interviewing helps when people want to change behaviours such as substance use.
Sessions are aimed at helping people make sense of difficult feelings and find workable coping strategies. Conversations can include looking at relationships, attachment and experiences of abandonment, as well as managing grief, anger, compulsive behaviours and eating or sleeping difficulties. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Susanne has five years of practice experience in the United Kingdom and offers help in English by online formats that suit the client’s life and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to build self-understanding. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at past relationships and recurring patterns to make sense of current feelings and behaviours. It can be useful for issues linked to attachment, abandonment or long-standing emotional pain. Motivational Interviewing is a practical, collaborative way to explore readiness for change and to strengthen motivation for targeted goals such as reducing substance use or changing habits.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. This happens together, so plans can change as trust grows and priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to choose the way of meeting that feels most comfortable.
