About Susan

Susan Hewitt is a counsellor with 13 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling stressed, anxious, low or stuck. She focuses on helping people talk through relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addiction and life changes.

Susan aims to build a warm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they think and feel. She encourages small, practical steps and listens for what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and paced to the client rather than rushed. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses client-centred listening to prioritise each person’s perspective.

Cognitive behavioural ideas help spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. Susan also uses narrative and mindfulness ideas to help people reframe difficult stories and stay present with hard emotions.

These tools are chosen to match what a person needs in the room. Therapy can include short exercises, reflective conversation, and aiming for clearer decisions outside sessions. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, career questions, and challenges linked to chronic illness.

Susan is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she works online using video, phone, chat and messaging formats. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions that suit them. The focus is on practical change, clearer thinking and rebuilding confidence at a steady, manageable pace.

How Susan blends approaches for online work

Susan commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can explore their priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques help spot patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and try small changes to test what helps.

She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationship experiences influence current patterns and emotional responses. These approaches are explained plainly and matched to each person’s goals in a collaborative way. Susan will discuss options and together decide which approach or combination feels most useful for the person’s situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer brief, written exchanges or need flexible check-ins between calls. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into work, family life and everyday routines while keeping focus on practical progress and emotional clarity.
