About Susan

Susan Chambers is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self‑esteem, depression and addictions. She helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, anger, career questions and life changes.

Susan uses client‑centred ways of working. That means sessions focus on what the person brings and on practical next steps they want to take. She also draws on trauma‑focused approaches when past harm is affecting present life. In practice this looks like careful pacing and attention to what feels manageable.

In a typical session she listens to immediate concerns, clarifies what matters most and offers straightforward options to try between meetings. People can expect a direct conversation about coping strategies and next steps rather than technical language. The work often includes addressing attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and patterns that affect intimacy.

Susan has particular experience with caregiver stress, dissociation, domestic violence and drug and alcohol addiction. She also supports people facing emptiness, guilt, shame or a midlife crisis. Sessions cover practical coping, rebuilding confidence and handling life transitions.

She conducts therapy in English. The way she works is collaborative and paced to each persons needs. To begin, people choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they fit everyday life

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and goals. The therapist listens, reflects and helps the client choose practical steps to try between sessions. This approach is useful for stress, low mood, self‑esteem and decisions about life or work.

Trauma‑Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past harm and on reducing its impact today. It often involves pacing material carefully and building skills for managing strong emotions. This approach is aimed at people whose memories or past experiences are shaping current relationships and daily functioning.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make decisions together based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying one way of working for a few sessions and reassessing how it feels.

The profile does not list the exact session formats offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or a lunchtime break, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and activities so the work sits alongside everyday life.
