About Susanna

Susanna Newsome helps people with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, career difficulties and coping with life changes using a client-centred approach. She works in English and Italian and has 17 years of professional experience. She is registered with BACP and NCPS.

She explains things plainly and listens to what each person brings to a session. Sessions focus on the client's own concerns and priorities, with the counsellor responding to what comes up rather than imposing a set plan. Susanna is trauma informed and aware of dyslexia in adulthood, so she adapts how she works to each person's communication style.

Her practice covers a range of specific problems linked to stress and relationships. These include compassion fatigue, workplace strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues around self-image and self-love. She also supports people dealing with control issues, impulsivity, isolation and purpose in life.

Susanna can talk through immigration-related stresses and hoarding concerns as part of broader life difficulties. She offers sessions in both English and Italian and accepts international clients, reflecting her cross-border credentialing. Practical matters such as booking and session length are organised through the service's matching and scheduling process.

People who choose her sessions can expect a steady, person-focused way of working. The emphasis is on listening, reflecting and helping clients find their own solutions to everyday and longer-term problems. Over time the work aims to make it easier to manage relationships, work pressures and life changes.

How Susanna uses client-centred work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. The counsellor reflects back thoughts and feelings, helps clarify what matters most, and supports people to discover their own next steps. This approach is often used for relationship worries, life changes and recovery after trauma.

Being clear about which approach feels right is part of the work. Susanna will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together what to try first. That collaborative decision-making helps shape session pace and emphasis as things progress.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins during a lunch break or to maintain continuity when someone is living abroad. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer flexible arrangements to help sessions fit everyday life.
