About Susan
Susan John is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with NCPS, and she has four years' experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and depression, alongside relationship and identity concerns. Her work also covers trauma, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, career worries and ADHD.
She uses a client-centred approach that keeps conversations focused on the person in front of her. That means listening closely, reflecting what is said and helping clients notice their own ways of thinking and feeling. She also draws on emotionally-focused work to help people understand patterns in relationships and in how they attach to others.
Mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy are part of the mix where they fit. These methods are offered to support relaxation, grounding and clearer thinking during times of intense stress or after trauma. Susan often teaches short, practical strategies that can be used between sessions.
She works with young adults and other adults, using shorter-term work when the priority is immediate coping and practical tools. She also offers longer conversations when deeper understanding is helpful. The focus is on what the client needs right now and on building skills to manage day-to-day pressures.
Sessions cover issues like identity, coping with life changes, career starts, relationship difficulties and feelings of being behind. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters to them. Online sessions let that conversational style continue across distance, with the counsellor helping people notice thoughts and feelings and decide what to try next.Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how people relate and attach to others. Online meetings can be used to map relationship patterns, practise new ways of expressing feelings and rehearse different responses to recurring conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, needs and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as the work progresses.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around study or work and reducing travel time. If you need shorter check-ins, different scheduling or less screen time, discuss these options when you book. Confirm the current session formats before you sign up, as the biography does not list specific formats.
