About Susan

Susan Pollard is a registered therapeutic counsellor (NCPS) with seven years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem and life changes, and also works with addiction, trauma and grief. She uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people manage current problems and decide on practical next steps.

Susan describes the therapeutic relationship as a partnership. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and uses a non-directive way of working. Sessions focus on what is happening now, while recognising how past events can be triggered by present situations.

Her work looks at beliefs people hold about themselves and the world. That includes exploring how those beliefs affect everyday choices and relationships. She also considers broader issues such as cultural background, ageing concerns and caregiver stress when relevant.

Susan aims to help people find clearer options and make decisions they feel comfortable with. Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to feelings, thinking patterns and responses to stress. Mindfulness techniques are included to help with noticing reactions and finding small ways to cope.

People often come for help with career pressure, intimacy-related issues, anger and midlife transitions. Additional focus areas include body image, co-dependency, communication problems, isolation and life purpose. Sessions can address overlapping concerns and complex situations.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of each session. It means the counsellor listens closely, follows the client's lead and helps them clarify what matters now. This approach is useful for relationship questions, low mood, self-esteem and navigating life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, bodily sensations and emotions without immediately reacting. These skills can reduce overwhelm and support coping with anxiety, stress and difficult memories.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through options and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. That collaboration makes it easier to modify the way sessions run if something is not helping.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness practices between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion, which can speed up practical problem solving.
