About Susan
Susan Walker is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 25 years of experience. She works with adults on common pressures in early adulthood and beyond, including stress, anxiety, relationships, self‑esteem and depression. She also addresses trauma, addictions, grief and difficulties around intimacy and parenting.
Susan keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what is happening now and helps people identify patterns that get in the way. Conversations focus on small, achievable steps as well as ways to manage strong emotions in the moment.
Her approach draws on a mix of well known methods. Susan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to work on thoughts and behaviours. She also integrates client‑centred techniques, dialectical behaviour strategies and hypnotherapy where they fit a person’s needs.
Over the years she has supported people through separation, family problems, abandonment and attachment issues. She has experience with concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, codependency and first responder issues. Clients also come for help with eating issues, anger and coping with life changes.
Susan works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. The service runs on a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Susan often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action even when difficult feelings are present. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and supports practical changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. During early sessions she will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that suit the person’s needs. The process is iterative so approaches can shift as progress and priorities become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can be useful for fitting therapy into study, work or family schedules, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check‑ins when that helps. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can make it easier to keep appointments around busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote work so practical tools remain part of the therapy.
