About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people who feel stuck by working on overthinking, low confidence and emotional reactivity. She uses plain, practical techniques to build calm and clearer thinking. Susy speaks directly and kindly, and focuses on small, steady changes that fit into everyday life.
Susy draws on a mix of talking approaches and skills-based methods to break unhelpful cycles. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thoughts, learning new responses to strong emotions and practising simple tools between meetings.
Background and approach
The work aims to reduce stress and make choices feel easier rather than piling on more explanations. Her background includes 17 years of experience in the helping professions and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That experience informs a practical style that balances listening with clear, doable steps forward.
People come to Susy for a range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, ADHD and parenting strain. She also supports career questions, eating and sleeping problems, compassion fatigue and the emotional impact of major life changes. Sessions may touch on attachment patterns, self-esteem, codependency, control issues and the fallout from separation or loss.
The aim is to help each person build tools they can use outside sessions so progress continues between meetings.

Online approaches that suit busy lives
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values and then taking small actions that matter. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and situations where rumination gets in the way of meaningful action.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns people form in close relationships and how these affect current feelings and behaviour. It can help with trust issues, intimacy problems and recurring relationship cycles.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decide on next steps. This approach supports people who want gentle, paced work alongside practical tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susy collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs and how they like to work. That might mean combining practices from different approaches and adjusting as progress happens.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still using proven therapeutic tools.
