About Shushanik

Shushanik Gasparyan is a counsellor who works in a client-centred way. She uses a conversational, empathetic style to help people make sense of difficult feelings and life changes. She has eight years of experience offering one-to-one work.

Shushanik focuses on common worries such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction and self-esteem issues. Her practice includes attention to relationship and family problems, grief, intimacy-related worries and eating or sleeping concerns.

Background and approach

She also helps with anger, career stress and challenges linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Additional areas addressed include codependency, isolation and questions about life purpose. Shushanik draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas alongside a client-centred approach.

That means she listens for the story someone tells about their life and notices patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions aim to create moments of understanding and small changes that feel manageable. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are offered in English and Armenian and are provided to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Shushanik works with individuals to find a pace and way of working that suits each person.

Ways of working Shushanik names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps people decide what feels most important to address. This approach is useful for stress, low mood and building self-esteem.

Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. The work separates the person from the problem and looks for alternative stories that allow different choices. It can be helpful for identity concerns, relationship patterns and feeling stuck.

Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. Talking these through can reveal how past hurts shape present reactions and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together you will choose ways of working that fit. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions stay short term or become longer term.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
