About Susan

Susan John is a counsellor who blends talking and body-focused methods to help people feel steadier. She offers a calm, honest approach and believes clients hold strengths they can use to change their story. Susan works in a straightforward way so people can talk about what matters and find practical ways forward.

She uses client-centred and emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand painful feelings. That can mean looking at how thoughts and body sensations link to stress, anxiety, anger or low mood.

Background and approach

Susan also draws on hypnotherapy and mindfulness when these fit a person’s needs. Susan has four years of professional experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She helps people manage relationship strain, grief, trauma and issues around identity and intimacy.

She also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and workplace compassion fatigue. Sessions can focus on short-term coping or longer work to build insight and change patterns. In the room she listens without judging and helps people notice patterns that keep problems alive.

She uses practical exercises, grounding and gentle exploration so people leave with clearer next steps. Susan offers sessions in English and accepts clients from the UK and overseas. She supports adults who want to tackle life changes, repair relationships or reduce overwhelming emotions.

The aim is steady, manageable progress at a pace each person can manage.

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

Approach and online therapy options

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and strengths. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions rather than directing them. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decisions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to identify and shift painful emotional patterns. It helps people notice how feelings drive reactions and builds new ways of relating to those emotions. EFT can be useful for relationship strain, attachment worries and deep emotional pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will discuss which methods might help based on your goals and what feels comfortable. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets you work face-to-face from wherever you are, phone calls use less bandwidth, and messaging can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel or family commitments.
