About Susanna

Susanna "Susan" Abraham works on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self esteem, depression and relationship issues using a collaborative, goal-focused approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years' experience. Sessions aim to help people gain awareness, manage distress and build practical coping skills.

Susan works with people who feel stuck or overwhelmed and with those facing life changes. She uses clear conversation to identify what matters most to the individual and to set achievable goals. Sessions include reflecting on patterns, developing alternative responses, and practising practical steps between meetings.

Her background includes a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Graduate Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy. She also holds a Certificate in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and has worked across a wide range of concerns such as bereavement, addiction and trauma.

Susan draws on several approaches, including attachment-based methods, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. This mix allows her to combine exploration of relationships with practical strategies for mood and behaviour. She explains options simply and discusses what might suit each person.

People seeking help can expect a calm, structured process with clear goals and steps. Susan accepts international clients and offers a process of assessment and collaborative planning before regular sessions begin.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape thoughts and feelings. Online sessions use conversation to identify patterns in close relationships and to practise different ways of relating, which can help with anxiety and relationship problems.

Client-centred counselling centres on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without imposing solutions and helps the client clarify goals and choices, useful for mood, grief and life changes.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours together. Online sessions can introduce simple exercises and homework to test different ways of thinking and acting between meetings, helping with anxiety, depression and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That plan can change as the work develops and will be decided together.

The biography lists messaging, phone and video as session formats; confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and planning to suit the way someone prefers to meet.
