About Susan

Susan Spooner is a counsellor who works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety and trauma. She supports people facing grief, low self‑esteem and life transitions. Susan believes clients know their own story and draws on their strengths to help them move forward.

With three years of experience in the United Kingdom, Susan has focused on practical help for panic, post‑traumatic stress and social anxiety. She also offers support around attachment issues, communication problems and the emotional strain of separation and divorce.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long theoretical talks. Conversations cover what is happening now, what has helped before and what might help next. Susan emphasises building self‑compassion, repairing confidence and reducing isolation.

She uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs and pace. Work may include learning ways to cope with panic attacks, practical strategies for anxiety, and approaches to process grief and past harm. Susan aims to empower people to make changes that feel realistic for their life.

She encourages collaboration on goals and checks progress regularly to keep therapy focused and relevant.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Susan lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Many evidence‑based techniques aim to reduce distress and improve daily coping. One common approach teaches skills to manage panic and acute anxiety, such as grounding, breathing and brief behavioural steps to interrupt worry. These techniques help when panic attacks or intense anxiety feel overwhelming.

Another approach focuses on processing trauma and difficult losses at a pace that suits the person. This involves talking through memories, naming emotions and practising ways to tolerate difficult feelings while rebuilding a sense of safety and self‑trust. It can be useful for post‑traumatic stress and long‑standing trauma reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use facial cues and gestures to aid conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or text messaging allow brief check‑ins or ongoing written reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work and daily routines.
