About Susan

Susan Chambers is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those coping with trauma, addiction, anger and life changes.

Susan works in a straightforward, client-centred way. She listens to what matters most and follows each person’s pace. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, practical steps people can try between sessions.

Her background includes four years of professional practice in the UK, during which she has worked with people facing abandonment and attachment concerns, feelings of emptiness or shame, and relationship patterns such as codependency. She pays attention to how past hurts affect day-to-day life and relationships.

Susan uses trauma-focused approaches when difficult memories or past abuse are part of the picture. That means helping people make sense of distressing events and reduce their current impact. She also uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s own goals and priorities.

Sessions are conversational and practical. People can expect to talk through specific problems, try simple coping strategies, and review what helps between meetings. Susan encourages steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Those interested in working with Susan start by using the site’s matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The aim is to find an approach that fits each person’s situation and commitments.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Susan uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and following what matters most to the individual. In practice this means sessions are shaped around a person’s goals and concerns, and the counsellor reflects and clarifies rather than directs.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past harm continues to cause distress. That approach helps people make sense of painful memories, reduce their immediate emotional charge, and learn ways to cope with triggers in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will talk with each person about their needs, preferences and what they hope to change. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as they go, adjusting the plan where needed.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic, or avoid travel. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity of support while managing work, family and other commitments.
