More about Susan

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my profile.

I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist which involves working with the best approach that suits and empowers my clients.

I have been counselling now for over 9 years now and have a background of over 30 years in social care, working with adults and carers in the community and residential settings.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement and loss, health worries, relationship difficulties and issues with food, money and other life worries. I have also worked with charitable organisations providing counselling to survivors of abuse.

My therapy style is warm and empowering and I believe in treating any person with openness and respect. My approach combines personal-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor your counselling to meet your own unique and specific needs.

I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
