About Susan
Susan Humphreys is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who works in the United Kingdom. She has six years of professional experience and offers warm, respectful support to people facing loss, anxiety, stress and life changes. She practices with a focus on listening and tailoring sessions to each person's needs.
Susan uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience at the heart of the conversation. That means sessions are paced to the individual, and the topics you bring are treated with sensitivity and without judgement.
Background and approach
She aims to help people make sense of grief, manage low mood, and cope with practical pressures. Her work covers a range of concerns including bereavement and grief, anxiety and depression, self-esteem, and major life transitions. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer-related issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and relationship endings.
The focus is on helping people find clearer thinking and steadier days, rather than on labels or quick fixes. Susan tailors the conversation and the plan you build together, responding to what feels most useful in the room. She believes the first step in seeking help is a brave one and aims to make that step easier.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients when needed. Therapy is available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can choose the format that fits their life and circumstances.

How person-centred work adapts to online therapy
Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what you say, asks gentle questions and helps you find your own next steps. This approach is often helpful for grief, low mood and self-esteem as it gives space to speak and to be heard.Behavioural or evidence-based techniques can also be used to help with anxiety and coping strategies. These involve trying small practical steps between sessions, tracking patterns and adjusting what helps most. For issues linked to chronic illness or caregiver strain, practical planning and problem-solving can be included to reduce daily stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as you progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits people who prefer face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in, and text options are useful for ongoing notes or shorter conversations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping the focus on practical progress.
