About Susanne
Susanne (Susie) Robinson is a counsellor with 28 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship worries, addiction, and LGBT-related concerns. Susie encourages clients to speak about what matters to them and works alongside them to find practical ways forward.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Susie sees the person as the expert in their life and looks for the strengths they already have.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on talking through current problems, noticing what gets in the way, and practising small steps that can make a difference. Susie uses a mix of approaches depending on the person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
She also uses client-centred ways of listening to deepen understanding and acceptance and emotionally-focused tools to work on relationship and intimacy issues. Trauma and painful memories are handled carefully. Susie can use methods that help people process distressing experiences when they are ready.
She also offers support for parenting stresses, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or life-purpose concerns. If someone wants to begin, Susie asks them to say what they hope to change. Together they set practical goals and try short, manageable experiments between meetings.
Her aim is to help people build confidence, clearer communication, and healthier daily routines.

Therapy approaches and what online work can offer
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them. It encourages choosing actions that match what matters to you, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening. This approach helps people feel heard and understood, which can make it easier to try new ways of coping and to build self-worth.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to develop routines that improve sleep, mood and daily functioning.
Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which approaches fit the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation that may shift as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking to confirm what is offered. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and allows for shorter check-ins when life is busy. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity through relocation or periods of change. Registered or accredited professionals can explain how they will adapt techniques such as ACT and CBT for remote meetings and suggest practical steps to get the most from each session.
