Susan Blanchard, BACP

Susan Blanchard is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom.

About Susan

Susan Blanchard is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on three years of experience to support people dealing with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Her work also covers relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and stress related to health or life events.

Susan’s background includes therapeutic support within NHS cancer services, so she is familiar with the emotional complexities that come with serious health concerns. She also has practical experience working with neurodiversity and the particular challenges that can bring.

Background and approach

Her approach is rooted in person-centred counselling, which means sessions focus on the person rather than a checklist of symptoms. She aims to offer warmth, empathy and acceptance so people can talk openly and begin to make sense of their feelings. Sessions are tailored to each person.

Susan listens first and then works together with people to find what helps most, whether that is talking through painful experiences, building confidence, or finding ways to manage daily stress. The emphasis is on practical steps and clearer thinking, not on quick fixes. People who come to Susan often want a calm space to reflect and to try out new perspectives.

She helps individuals explore patterns such as negative thinking, self-criticism and relationship difficulties, and supports them in making small, achievable changes over time.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and creating a supportive space where people can talk through their feelings and concerns. It helps with issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship stress by encouraging self-understanding and gradual change.

Drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques means using methods that aim to reduce distress and improve coping. For example, approaches that address negative thinking patterns can help with anxiety and depression by teaching practical ways to notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts. Work that addresses trauma emphasises careful pacing and stabilisation so people can manage strong emotions more safely.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide what fits best, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying different ways of working and adjusting where needed rather than following a fixed plan.

Online therapy makes those options more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping sessions practical and consistent.
