About Susanne

Susanne (Susie) Robinson works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, addictions and other life challenges. She uses a conversational, person-focused way of working and emphasises the client as the expert on their own life. Susie is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 28 years of experience in the field.

Susie offers practical, straightforward sessions where people talk through current concerns and look at what is getting in the way of change. She draws on a mix of approaches to match the situation, including cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment techniques and emotionally-focused work. Sessions often include reflection on patterns, skills to manage distress, and experiments to try between meetings.

Her background includes many years in different settings, giving experience with addiction, domestic violence, eating and sleep issues, and complex responses to trauma such as dissociation. She also works with parenting and blended family stresses, career and life-purpose questions, and end-of-life and hospice related concerns.

Susie pays particular attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication and control problems, guilt and shame, and intimacy-related difficulties. She uses EMDR where appropriate as part of trauma-focused work alongside motivational interviewing to support change in substance use and other behaviours.

People can expect clear explanations of what is being offered and collaborative choices about next steps. Sessions aim to increase practical coping, improve relationships, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.

How Susie uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions and involves values-based exercises and practical tasks.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive conversation. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person clarify their own goals and choices, which can support self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It includes simple experiments and skills to reduce distress and to change patterns that cause problems in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree together which to try, based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the original biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Some approaches involve short practical tasks that suit a brief remote session, while others may use longer conversations or guided techniques that are best planned in advance.
