About Susan
Susan Chambers is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and issues around intimacy and family. She also helps with career questions and coping with life changes.
Susan tends to keep sessions straightforward and person-centred. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that are getting in the way. Conversations focus on practical steps alongside processing difficult feelings. The aim is to make problems feel more manageable, one small change at a time.
Clients who have experienced abandonment, attachment difficulties or dissociation often find a trauma-informed approach helpful. Susan also supports people dealing with codependency, caregiver stress, guilt, shame, isolation and feelings of emptiness. She will work with someone to name what feels stuck and try different ways of addressing it.
Susan draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her practice. That means she spends time building trust, reflecting what is said, and using techniques designed for people with traumatic experiences. Sessions balance emotional processing with practical coping strategies.
People who are unsure how to begin can expect a calm, direct first meeting aimed at clarifying what matters most now. The focus is on what can change next rather than long lists of problems. Progress is paced to the person's comfort and goals.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and encourages the client to lead conversations about priorities and goals. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and life choices by focusing on understanding and practical next steps.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of traumatic events. It uses structured ways to process difficult memories and reduce their immediate impact. This can be useful for people dealing with abuse, dissociation, attachment wounds or prolonged stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adapt techniques to the person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about pace and focus are collaborative, with regular check-ins about what is helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into study, work or busy days by avoiding travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone join from different locations and choose a setup that suits their routine.
