About Susan
Counsellor Susan Clarke is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people concerned about stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing life changes and people with LGBT and relationship or family questions. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Susan takes a straightforward approach in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people name their priorities. Conversations focus on what feels difficult in day-to-day life and on small steps that can reduce pressure and improve coping.
She pays attention to patterns that show up again and again, such as problems with attachment, feelings of abandonment or repeated communication breakdowns. Susan also addresses workplace stress, caregiver strain and issues around self-love and isolation.
Practical coping skills and clearer thinking are core parts of her work. She helps people try out different ways of responding to anger, anxiety and low mood. Where helpful, she looks at relationship dynamics and communication habits to make everyday interactions easier.
People who prefer plain language and steady, practical sessions may find her style useful. The first meeting aims to clarify the main concerns and agree simple goals. To start, follow the site steps to match and schedule a session.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Susan works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life problems. One common approach is practical coping skills training, which teaches clear steps for managing anxiety, anger and low mood. These techniques help people notice unhelpful reactions and try different responses in everyday situations. Another approach looks at attachment and patterns from past relationships. This helps when feelings of abandonment or repeated communication problems affect current relationships. It is about spotting recurring habits and testing new ways of relating. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals and preferences together and decide which methods to try. That way the plan fits what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow for meetings across different locations. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, and consider practical factors like quieter surroundings, whether you prefer video or audio, and how a shorter check-in might fit a work break.Areas of expertise
