About Susanna
Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of practice. She works with adults on issues including stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationships and life transitions. Susan also lists support for parenting, sleep and eating problems, anger, career concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Susan keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens to the problem someone brings and helps them set clear goals. Together they look at what gets in the way and try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress and improve everyday coping.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She uses client-centred methods to prioritise the person's experience and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. Emotionally focused ideas are used when relationship feelings are central, and existential themes are discussed when people question meaning or purpose.
Susan offers a collaborative style that emphasises responsibility and choice. Conversations aim to build awareness and small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. Practical skills and reflection are combined so clients can try things between sessions and review what helps.
She records experience working with long-term conditions such as bipolar and caring responsibilities, and with issues like domestic violence, substance use and bereavement. International clients can work with her in English, and she asks people to check current session options before booking.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at recurring relationship patterns and how early connections affect current reactions. It can help when trust, abandonment or strong emotional responses cause problems in close relationships.Client-centred practice focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist follows what the client brings, reflecting and clarifying to help people make their own choices and notice what feels different.
Cognitive behavioural methods identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then test small experiments to change them. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep or behaviour patterns that hold someone back.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The original biography lists messaging, phone and video as services. If those remain the offered formats, they can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or caring duties, and to choose shorter check-ins or video conversations when that suits. If you need other session types, confirm current options before booking.
