About Susan

Counsellor (BACP), 14 years' experience. Susan Stewart helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, parenting pressures, career issues, depression and compassion fatigue.

Susan works in a client-centred way that keeps the person's perspective central. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to attend to what matters most to the individual, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to cause harm. Existential Therapy informs conversations about meaning, purpose and choices.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Susan listens for patterns in how people respond to stress and then explores small, doable changes. She also helps people name and work through difficult emotions such as guilt, shame or grief. The focus is on clearer thinking and steadier coping rather than on jargon or lengthy theory.

Susan has particular experience supporting people after abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence and other traumatic events. She also works with concerns such as panic attacks, dissociation, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and caregiving stress. End-of-life and hospice conversations are also within her practice.

She holds BACP as her listed credential. Sessions are carried out from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site's booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. Online conversations follow the client's pace and priorities, with the counsellor reflecting concerns and clarifying what matters most. This suits worries like low self-esteem, stress and life decisions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of past events. In online sessions this can mean carefully paced conversations, grounding strategies, and step-by-step processing of upsetting memories when the client is ready. That approach is often used for trauma, abuse, panic and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree a way forward together. Sessions are collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a shorter check-in into a lunch break, or reducing disruption to caregiving routines. Registered or accredited professionals provide therapy in ways that help people integrate work into everyday schedules.
