About Shushanik
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience, Shushanik Gasparyan focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns and uses Client-Centred Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy in her practice. Sessions are offered in English and Armenian and international clients are accepted.
Shushanik aims to help people talk through difficult feelings and experiences. She uses client-centred principles to listen actively and follow what matters most to the person. Narrative ideas are used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to find new meanings that feel more helpful.
Her psychodynamic-influenced work attends to past patterns and how they show up in current life. This can be useful for recurring relational difficulties, issues with self-esteem, and patterns linked to avoidance or dependency. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and anger.
She has experience working in agency settings and on projects with Save The Children and UNICEF addressing child abuse. That background informs her understanding of trauma and culturally complex situations. Shushanik combines approaches to match what each person needs rather than following a single method.
Sessions aim to restore some balance and help clients develop practical ways to cope with life changes. People who choose her work together to explore feelings, change unhelpful patterns, and make clearer choices about relationships and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back what the client says. Online sessions using this approach often centre on allowing the client to lead conversations and name what matters most to them, which can help with stress, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives. In an online setting this can involve mapping problem stories, identifying exceptions, and co-authoring alternative narratives that reduce shame or blame related to trauma, addiction or identity issues.
Psychodynamic ideas attend to patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. Working this way online can help surface recurring behaviours and emotional responses and link them to earlier life events that colour current relationships and self-view.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs in early sessions and adapt methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which ideas to use and how to pace the work.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or travel. They may also allow shorter check-ins, avoid commuting, or reduce the need to be on camera when that helps the person engage.
