About Susan
BACP. 23 years' experience. Susan Vincent MSc works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self esteem, depression, career questions and coping with life changes. She also focuses on compassion fatigue and issues connected with ageing, blended families, cancer, end of life and other major life events.
Susan aims to create a calm setting where people can say what is on their mind. She uses straightforward talking therapy methods and listens for the practical patterns that maintain distress. Sessions look at feelings, past experiences and current problems to find manageable steps forward.
Her approach draws on client-centred principles to prioritise the person's perspective. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider how past relationships shape present responses. Solution-focused work is used to identify small, concrete goals and actions between sessions.
Susan has worked with trauma-related problems and brings trauma-focused thinking when it is needed. She pays attention to how stress shows in daily life and tailors conversations to reduce overwhelm and increase coping. People who come for counselling often want clearer thinking and steadier mood.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Susan will look at communication patterns, changes in role or relationships, and ways to rebuild confidence after loss or major life changes. She helps people to sort priorities and try different ways of coping.
Work is offered in English from the United Kingdom. Readers should check the current session options before booking if they need a specific format.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens without directing, helping the person to find their own understanding and choices; this can help with low confidence, relationship worries and life changes.Psychodynamic therapy looks at how earlier relationships and patterns influence present reactions. It can be useful for recurring relationship problems, feelings rooted in the past, and when people want a deeper understanding of how they respond to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how different ways of working might suit the person's situation, and then agree a plan that feels practical and collaborative.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please check the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that helps with busy days. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to adapt pacing and exercises to what works best for the individual.
