About Susannah

Susannah "Susy" Rudkin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 17 years of experience. She works with young adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, life changes, grief, addictions and related concerns. Susy offers practical support for people who feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-doubt or repeating unhelpful habits.

She focuses on helping people identify the beliefs and triggers that keep them stuck. Sessions emphasise calm, present-focused work and practical tools rather than lengthy analysis. Susy describes her style as direct and grounded; she helps clients practise new ways of responding to strong emotions and to difficult thoughts.

Her methods draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred listening and some skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. That mix is used to help people rebuild confidence, reduce reactivity and make clearer choices about relationships and careers.

Susy also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. She attends to both immediate coping strategies and longer-term changes in behaviour and thinking.

Sessions are offered in English and operate from the United Kingdom. The cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session via the platform's online options.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make values-based choices. It is useful for anxiety, overthinking and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises for changing patterns. That approach suits problems like low mood, worry and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns, helping people understand how early bonds shape current intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susy will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative planning helps shape a focused programme of practice and check-ins that fit the client's needs.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so appointments sit alongside study or work. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to focus on skills practice, breathing and grounding exercises, cognitive work or discussion of relationship patterns depending on what someone needs.
