About Susan

Susan Paul is a counsellor who has worked in the United Kingdom for ten years. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and anger. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, depression, bereavement and identity concerns.

Susan works with people affected by ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. Her style is straightforward and practical. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to make small, manageable changes rather than sudden overhauls. The tone is encouraging and down-to-earth. Susan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and activities.

She helps people learn new ways to cope, reduce distressing thoughts and improve daily routines. Where useful, she will suggest exercises to try between sessions to practise new skills. People often come for help with life transitions, grief or long-term stresses.

Susan offers a calm space to talk through emotions and plan next steps. She works at a pace set by the person in front of her. Practical matters are discussed early on, including how sessions fit into life and what to expect from the process.

Susan aims to make the first steps into counselling as clear and manageable as possible.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Many people benefit from techniques that teach practical skills to manage thinking and behaviour. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small experiments. These methods can help with anxiety, low mood and stressful thinking. Behavioural-focused techniques aim to change routines and reactions. That might involve building better sleep habits, pacing activities to avoid overwhelm, or trying short behavioural experiments to reduce avoidance. These approaches are useful for depression, ADHD-related routines and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they will choose or combine methods and review progress, adjusting the plan as needed. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins or written reflection possible, and they fit into busy days. These formats aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily demands while keeping the focus on useful, evidence-based work with a registered professional.
