About Susan

Susan Clayton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship concerns. She works directly with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She has five years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Susan keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens first, then helps clients name their priorities and try practical steps.

Background and approach

Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method for everyone. Her work covers a broad range of concerns, from mood and coping with life changes to more specific issues such as ADHD, bipolar, compassion fatigue and grief after loss. She also supports people facing anxiety about relationships, commitment, communication and blended family challenges.

Susan draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She uses techniques from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioural methods and attachment-focused ideas to help people understand patterns and try different ways of responding. Dialectical skills and client-centred listening also inform how she holds difficult conversations.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled to suit the client’s timing and needs.

Ways of working Susan names

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

Approaches you can use online and how they help

Susan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and learn which values matter most to them. ACT encourages small, value-led steps even when feelings are uncomfortable and can help with anxiety, stress and life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people understand why certain interactions feel triggering and supports new, healthier ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try one or a blend of methods and adjust as progress is seen. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to what feels useful for the person in front of her.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and use exercises that need visual contact. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing their thoughts or want flexible, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family commitments.
