About Susan

Susan Clarke helps people work through stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She uses straightforward talking and practical strategies to tackle day-to-day problems, and she works with people on relationship and family concerns as well as issues linked to LGBT identities. Susan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

She keeps sessions direct and clear. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can be tried between meetings. She listens for unhelpful patterns and looks for ways to alter them through simple exercises and reflection.

Susan pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they come up. She also helps with caregiver stress, workplace pressure, isolation and communication problems. These areas are explored in practical terms so people can test different behaviours and notice what changes.

Sessions are suitable for people wanting to improve self-love, manage difficult emotions or cope with life changes. Susan makes time to talk about boundaries, assertiveness and rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences.

Her approach aims to be clear and goal-focused while staying responsive to each person’s pace. New clients are guided through an initial matching and booking process to arrange the first session and plan what to work on next.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online counselling

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people make practical changes. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood; it suits people who want clear, hands-on steps to try between sessions. Another approach looks at attachment and abandonment themes to understand how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and feelings; this helps when difficulties repeat over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will explore your situation, goals and preferences and then suggest options to try. You and the counsellor make decisions together and review progress as you go.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling around work or caring responsibilities and reducing travel time. You may find some meetings suit a shorter check-in while others are fuller therapeutic conversations. Confirm which session formats are available before booking so you can plan times that integrate with everyday life.
