About Susan
Susan Stewart is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and the strain that life changes can bring. Her focus also includes codependency, attachment and caregiver stress.
Susan keeps language straightforward in sessions. She treats the person as the expert on their life and talks through real situations and reactions. Conversations tend to look at how past hurts affect current choices and relationships.
Her way of working is informed by trauma-focused thinking. That means she pays attention to how distressing events shape feelings, memory and behaviour. She also draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person's experience in the room.
Existential ideas feature too, helping people consider values, meaning and the practical choices they can make. This can be useful for those rethinking life purpose, career direction or parenting challenges.
Susan has long experience supporting people through grief, panic and the impact of abuse. She also helps with guilt, shame, dissociation and recovery after sexual assault. The focus is on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract theory.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Susan uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. Confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Susan uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It supports people who need to talk through emotions, feel understood and decide what matters next. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how painful events affect thoughts and behaviour. It helps when past events keep causing panic, flashbacks or strong avoidance reactions.Finding the right method is part of the early work. Susan will work collaboratively to test approaches and adjust what feels most useful. That means checking goals, trying an approach for a while and changing direction if something does not fit the person's needs or preferences.
The therapist's biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent travelling and allow a quick check-in when schedules are tight. Some formats are better when a shorter conversation is needed or when visual contact is not possible, but confirm which ones Susan offers so arrangements match everyday life and practical needs.
