About Susannah

Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people untangle habits that leave them drained, stuck or constantly worried. She works with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, sleep and eating problems, and other issues such as codependency and attachment difficulties. Susy practises in the United Kingdom and brings 17 years of experience to her work. She is a BACP member, which is shown as BACP in her credentials.

Susy describes her approach as calm and practical. Sessions focus on noticing the triggers that drive overthinking and on building small, steady changes rather than chasing quick fixes. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive and behavioural approaches alongside acceptance and compassion to help people manage emotional reactivity and rebuild trust in themselves.

Her background mixes counselling and coaching methods. That combination is aimed at both understanding patterns and learning tools to shift them. Susy emphasises present‑focused work that leaves people with straightforward skills they can use between sessions.

People who contact her can expect a collaborative style. The work often includes tracking thought patterns, practicing new ways to respond to strong feelings, and setting practical steps towards personal goals. She also offers a short initial conversation to clarify concerns and discuss whether her way of working fits the person’s needs.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are not currently accepted. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions, which can suit worries, low mood and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to shift them, useful for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current trust and intimacy struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful for the person and adapt methods to their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and aim to match tools to everyday life rather than force a single model.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or travel because it removes commuting time. It also allows focused check‑ins and exercises between meetings, and can make it simpler to try shorter or more frequent sessions when that suits a person’s routine. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and homework so online work feels practical and manageable.
