About Sussana

Sussana Limunga is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are handling stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief and depression. Sussana also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment and communication issues. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Sussana uses a client-centred approach. She focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person in front of her. This means conversations are paced to the client and guided by the concerns they bring. People often come for help with fear of abandonment, trouble saying no, difficulties after separation, or coping with chronic illness and caregiving stress.

In practical terms she helps people talk through difficult feelings and identify small, doable steps to change how they relate to others. That might include clearer ways to set limits, noticing patterns that leave someone burnt out, or working through loss and bereavement. Sessions keep to what the client wants to focus on rather than following a rigid protocol.

Sussana aims to make starting therapy straightforward. She asks about the immediate concern, what has been tried so far, and what the client hopes to get from sessions. Over time she and the client review progress and adjust the focus if needed.

Her approach is plain and conversational. People who prefer a listening-led style that still looks for practical next steps often find this useful. If unsure about session options, clients are asked to confirm current formats before booking.

How sessions work

Client-centred work and online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, names what she hears, and helps the person make sense of their feelings. This approach is often used for issues such as anxiety, relationship patterns, grief and codependency where a clear, attentive listener helps a person find their own next steps.

Working out which approach fits comes through trying it together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful, check how interventions land, and adjust the way sessions are run based on the client’s goals and preferences. Clients are treated as collaborators in deciding what to focus on and how to move forward.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that helps the person concentrate. Talk with the counsellor about what practical arrangements work best for everyday life.
