About Susan
BACP, NCPS. Four years' counselling experience. Susan John offers counselling for stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and other concerns using a mix of approaches she describes as integrative and person-focused.
Susan emphasises both thoughts and bodily feelings when she works with people. She uses methods from Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness to help people notice and manage difficult feelings. She says people bring strengths that can help them move forward and often combines short-term coping strategies with deeper work.
She sees adults and young people and lists a wide range of concerns she helps with, including relationship problems, grief, trauma and abuse, identity and LGBT issues, and difficulty coping with life changes. She also notes work around eating and sleeping problems, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties.
Susan states additional focus in areas such as attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment issues, body image and caregiver stress. She mentions helping with separation and divorce, dissociation and feelings of emptiness as well.
Sessions aim to build self-awareness so people can understand patterns and try different ways of responding. She offers practical coping techniques for immediate needs alongside therapy that looks at emotional patterns. To begin, people choose an online counselling option and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
How her approaches adapt to online counselling
Susan uses Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; it can help with low self-esteem and general life stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotions in relationships and within the self to identify patterns that keep distress going; it is useful for intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice bodily sensations and calm racing thoughts. These practices are brief and concrete, for example grounding exercises and breathing work that can be practised between sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process and she will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person's goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Online counselling can make regular sessions easier to fit around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use online work to keep continuity of care and make counselling more accessible; the counsellor will discuss practical arrangements when you book.
