About Susan
Susan Kinsella-Brice is a counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief and the effects of trauma. She works with issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, addiction and relationship or intimacy concerns. Susan speaks English and practices in the United Kingdom, bringing 14 years of experience to her work and a belief that people already hold the resources they need to move forward.
Her approach centres on listening first and helping clients make sense of what matters to them. Sessions aim to build understanding of patterns that cause pain and to find practical ways to change those patterns. She encourages small, realistic steps so progress feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
Susan uses a mix of approaches that fit each person’s needs, drawing on client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness and emotionally-focused work. This means conversations can move between exploring feelings, noticing thoughts that get in the way, and practising new ways of responding in daily life.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with grief, caregiving stress, chronic health issues, codependency and abandonment hurts. She also helps with sleep problems, parenting strains, career worries and compassion fatigue. The focus is on practical change combined with kindness for oneself.
To begin, she asks a few questions so sessions match what you need. The aim is to make therapy feel clear and useful from the first meetings, with the pace set by the person attending.
How Susan's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create a respectful space where the client’s priorities guide the work. It helps when someone wants to be heard and understood without pressure to follow a set method.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful habits. It can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep by teaching practical skills to try between sessions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports recognising and organising key emotions in relationships and personal life. It can help when strong feelings or attachment patterns are causing distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan will work with each person to decide which ideas and methods feel most helpful. That choice is collaborative and can shift over time as goals evolve.
