About Susan
Susan John is a counsellor who combines attention to thoughts with awareness of bodily experience. She describes her work as holistic and focuses on helping people notice and release held emotions. Susan brings four years of practice and uses that time to support people through difficult moments with an open and compassionate attitude.
Her approach is flexible and draws on several methods so the work can match each person's needs.
Background and approach
She values short-term work when someone needs immediate coping strategies, as well as longer conversations that build insight and self-understanding. Susan emphasises the person as the author of their own story, and looks for strengths to use during change. Susan has experience with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem.
She also supports people facing relationship issues, grief, trauma and difficulties with sleep or eating. LGBT concerns and identity questions are listed among the areas she addresses. In sessions she aims to be open, honest and non-judgemental.
Her style is empathic and exploratory, helping people notice patterns and emotional triggers. Practical tools and grounding techniques are used alongside conversations about feelings and past events. Susan holds BACP and NCPS credentials; BACP stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.
She works from the United Kingdom and offers services in English.

Approaches you might use in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. A counsellor offers a supportive space and reflects what the person says so they can build self-awareness and confidence.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and personal experience. It helps people identify core feelings and how those feelings shape reactions, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and intimacy-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, needs and preferences, and together they will agree which methods to try. That collaborative process may change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into everyday life. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around busy schedules and make it simpler to continue therapy when circumstances change. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help shape a plan that fits a person’s routine and goals.
