About Susan
Susan John is a counsellor and a member of BACP and NCPS with four years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom with concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, self esteem, depression, relationship difficulties and trauma and abuse.
Susan uses a client-centred stance in sessions. She listens for what matters most to the person in front of her and helps them follow their own priorities. Her work also draws on emotionally-focused methods to look at feelings in close relationships and on mindfulness to develop attention and calm.
Her approach includes paying attention to thoughts and bodily feelings. She aims to help people notice patterns and try practical ways of coping. She also offers short-term work focused on current problems and coping strategies when that is more useful.
Susan has worked with people facing grief, intimacy-related issues, eating or sleeping difficulties, career strain and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with attachment concerns, abandonment and communication problems. Her practice notes work around identity matters including LGBT issues and cultural questions.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session via the site button for online counselling options.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. The counsellor follows what the client brings and helps them name concerns and decide what to work on. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self esteem and relationship questions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and the emotions that drive those patterns. It helps people understand how they respond to others and try different ways of connecting, which can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan will discuss which methods seem most helpful for the problem at hand. She will work with the client to agree goals and try practical steps, reviewing progress as they go.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since the profile does not list formats. Online work can help fit counselling around everyday life, for example by removing travel time, making it easier to join from a quieter place, or allowing shorter check-ins that suit a work break. Registered and accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain a regular appointment pattern.
