About Susan

Susan Walker is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 25 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She speaks English and offers sessions online for people in the UK and overseas.

Susan aims to be practical and straightforward in sessions. She listens without judgement and adapts the conversation to each person’s needs. That can mean looking at day-to-day coping, communication skills, or patterns that keep causing pain.

Background and approach

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues and eating difficulties. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, blended family problems and separation. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues and dissociation.

Susan uses several therapeutic methods to match different problems and preferences. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural approaches and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques, alongside client-centred work and hypnotherapy when appropriate. These give a mix of practical tools and exploratory conversation.

Sessions can include short-term focused work or longer term exploration depending on what the person wants. Susan helps people set goals, try out strategies between sessions, and review progress. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and adapts the plan as needs change.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Susan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change behaviours and mood.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy when people need an open, non-directive space. That approach prioritises listening and reflecting back what matters to the person so they can find their own solutions. Susan will work together with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel, and support continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
