About Susan
Susan Gibson is an NCPS-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She works with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career concerns and compassion fatigue. She also pays attention to patterns like abandonment, attachment issues and codependency.
She uses client-centred approaches to help people speak about what matters to them. Sessions are conversational and focus on the person's thoughts and feelings. She combines this with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and practical steps to change them.
Motivational Interviewing features when someone needs help finding reasons to change and keeping momentum. Narrative Therapy is used to look at personal stories and the roles people take in their own lives. Psychodynamic ideas may be drawn on to consider how past experiences shape present reactions.
Her style is straightforward. She aims to make time for what people want to work on and to clarify small, manageable goals. People concerned about relationship patterns, people-pleasing, boundaries or living with another person's mood disorders often come with clear, practical aims.
To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening with attention and following what the person brings. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and to make their own choices about change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and works on practical steps to reduce anxiety or unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress, low mood and anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods based on the person’s goals and preferences. That means sessions can focus more on talking things through, on practical skills, or a mix of both depending on what the client wants to try. Session logistics should be checked at booking since the biography did not list specific formats. Confirm the available online options before you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can work with clients across borders, and the therapist accepts international clients, but do check time zones and the platform’s session types when you arrange your first appointment.Areas of focus
