About Susan
Susan Chown is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 10 years of experience. She works with people dealing with relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach is straightforward and people-focused rather than clinical jargon.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy to help people talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping clients name what they want to change. That can include managing anxiety, coping with depression, or handling stress at work and home.
Many people come to her because they keep putting others first, struggle to set boundaries, or are affected by someone else’s drinking or mood swings. She helps people look at patterns such as people-pleasing and codependency, and explore practical steps to feel less overwhelmed.
Susan also supports those facing addictions, grief, parenting strain, career worries, and long-term health challenges. Conversations cover day-to-day coping skills alongside longer-term patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her style aims to be clear and steady. She works collaboratively so the person in front of her helps decide what to try next. Practical goals and small changes are used alongside deeper conversations about attachment and past hurt.
People who want to start are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Client-Centred approaches and online working
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. The counsellor offers attentive listening, mirrors what the client says, and helps the person name their priorities. This approach is often used for matters like relationship patterns, grief, anxiety and issues tied to self-esteem.Working out the right approach is a collaborative task. The counsellor and client review how sessions feel and what changes are beginning to happen. Together they decide whether to continue with the same approach or try different ways of working to meet the client’s goals.
Confirm the exact session formats when you book, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in session when life is hectic. Some people prefer audio-only conversations when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed, while others choose video to keep non-verbal cues in view. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements so sessions fit into everyday life.
