About Susan
Susan Walker is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She helps with practical worries like parenting pressure, grief, addiction and eating concerns, and also with struggles around intimacy, self‑esteem and life changes. Susan is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings 25 years of experience to her work.
She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and are shaped around individual needs and goals. Conversations are practical and straightforward so clients can try out new ways of coping between meetings.
Susan uses a mix of approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Client‑Centred work and hypnotherapy. She draws on these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try different choices and build steadier routines.
Her background includes long experience in helping with trauma and abuse, relationship and communication problems, codependency and attachment concerns. She also has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, separation and blended family issues.
People often come for help with panic, ongoing worry, anger and coping after big life events. Susan encourages small changes that fit daily life, so progress feels manageable and realistic.
Approaches you can try online and why they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that matter, even when emotions are difficult. It can help with anxiety, codependency and coping with life changes by encouraging flexible responses rather than avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear, practical techniques to reduce worry, low mood and unhelpful habits. Client‑Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non‑judgemental relationship where the client leads the pace and topics of work.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the person's goals and preferences. Sessions can blend styles so the plan changes as progress is made and new needs appear.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping appointments that would otherwise be hard to reach. Online work can make shorter check‑ins easier and reduce travel time, helping people try new skills between meetings. Please confirm the current session options and formats with the therapist before booking so arrangements match your needs.
