About Susannah

Susannah Nicklin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and listed with NCPS. She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, family difficulties, worries about self-esteem and coping with life changes, and she offers coaching around career choices and goals.

She listens for the concrete problems under the worry. Sessions often begin with a clear aim - what the person wants to change or understand. Susannah works in straightforward language and helps people break big issues into smaller steps. She focuses on practical ways to manage panic, stress, or intrusive thoughts that come with guilt or shame.

Her work covers common sources of painful self-judgement, including attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and difficulties with forgiveness. She also supports people facing separation, money or career pressures, and feelings of isolation. When trauma symptoms like panic attacks or post-traumatic stress are present, she looks at immediate coping strategies alongside longer term goals.

Susannah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and coaching methods to help people set goals and try new behaviours. She encourages clear communication and building confidence through repeated small steps. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what can change now.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the platform button provided.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Susannah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and coaching methods that focus on practical change. One common approach is behaviourally focused work, which looks at the actions that maintain distress and introduces small experiments to test new ways of coping. This helps with issues like panic, avoidance, and habit patterns that feed guilt.

Another helpful strand is attachment-informed thinking, which explores how past relationships affect current feelings and reactions. This approach can make sense of repeated patterns in relationships and reduce the intensity of shame related to belonging or abandonment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person's goals, needs and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made and priorities change, keeping the work collaborative and practical.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments and can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for people to use their usual daily environment to practise new skills between sessions.
