About Susan
Susan Stewart is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem and related struggles such as compassion fatigue and life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain and career pressures and those coping with guilt and shame.
Susan uses straightforward, people-focused counselling. Sessions are practical and conversational. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them name what matters to them now.
Her background includes sustained work with trauma and abuse and with grief and loss. That experience shapes how she approaches difficult memories and intense emotions. She aims to keep conversations grounded and manageable so a person can take small steps through tough material.
Susan draws on client-centred work, existential ideas about meaning, and trauma-focused ways of working. In practice this means listening for what a client values, exploring how problems affect day-to-day life, and using techniques to address the effects of traumatic experiences.
Sessions are suited to people wanting a direct, relational counsellor who helps unpack difficult feelings such as guilt or shame. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's booking flow and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Susan combines Client-Centred Therapy, Existential Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy means listening closely to a person and following what they bring up, which helps when someone needs acceptance and clarity about their feelings. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choices and values, useful when life changes or questions about purpose are causing distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the practical effects of traumatic events and uses methods to reduce their impact on daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with a client to identify which ideas and techniques feel most relevant to their goals and preferences, and may draw from more than one way of working as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy, and quieter, camera-free conversations when that helps a person engage. Registered or accredited professionals who offer online work often find this flexibility helps people maintain regular contact without long journeys.
