About Susan
Susan Chown uses a client-centred approach to help people speak about what matters to them. She presents as calm and approachable and aims to create a space where people feel heard. Susan has worked in the UK for more than 10 years and holds BACP registration.
She focuses on relationship difficulties and matters of intimacy. She also supports people affected by trauma, grief and loss, anxiety and depression. Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, addiction and stress are part of her work too.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual's needs. Susan listens first and follows the person's lead to build understanding. She looks for each person's strengths and uses them to plan small, achievable steps forward.
Her wider interests include challenges around self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career change. She also works with issues connected to ageing, caregiving, chronic health problems and family conflict. For people unsure how to begin, Susan encourages a short initial conversation.
That chat helps set aims and decide a suitable way of working. It also lets people check whether the approach feels like a good fit before continuing.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Client-Centred support available online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflecting feelings and helping them make their own sense of difficult experiences. This approach can help with relationship problems, grief, anxiety, stress and trauma-related issues. The therapist will treat finding the right approach as a shared process. Together they will look at the person's needs, goals and preferences and decide what feels most helpful. Plans are adjusted as work progresses so the method fits the person rather than the other way round. Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for a face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging can work when someone prefers to write. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic conversations with registered or accredited professionals.Frequently asked
