About Susan

Susan Stewart is a counsellor with 14 years of experience who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and loss. She writes in a warm, down-to-earth way and focuses on making sessions easy to talk in. She believes people know their own stories and that therapy can help them find clearer steps forward.

Susan uses a trauma-informed outlook when working with painful memories and difficult feelings. She helps people who struggle with low self-esteem, panic, depression and compassion fatigue to sort out what is getting in the way of everyday life.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with grief, life changes and career pressures. Her work pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, and she can help people who face abandonment, codependency or avoidant personality issues. Sessions can include exploring guilt, shame, dissociation and the emotional impact of past abuse or sexual assault.

She also offers support around end-of-life and hospice related stresses. Susan draws on client-centred and existential ideas alongside trauma-focused methods. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people make choices that fit their values and goals.

She aims to be practical and respectful in the room. Sessions are available in English and are held online by several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Susan works with individual adults on a range of life and mental health concerns and brings nearly a decade and a half of practice in the United Kingdom.

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

How Susan's approaches work online

Susan uses client-centred methods that prioritise listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. This approach helps people who need space to be heard and to make decisions about next steps in life or relationships.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to address the impact of past harm and overwhelming experiences. That work looks at how trauma affects thoughts, feelings and behaviour and builds ways to manage symptoms and reactions over time.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a shared task. Susan will work collaboratively to identify what feels helpful, adjust methods as things change, and set goals together based on the person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter exchanges or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, care duties and daily life.
