About Susan

Susan Chambers is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers short-term and longer-term support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She uses a calm, straightforward approach to help people talk through difficult feelings and find clearer ways to manage day-to-day pressures. Susan has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her practice. Her style focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where clients can speak honestly about what they are feeling. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with attention to what feels most useful for each person in the moment. People often come to her for help with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, or to cope with grief and loss. Susan draws on client-centred methods that put the person’s perspective first, and trauma-focused ways of working when past events continue to affect daily life. She listens for patterns such as attachment difficulties, codependency or a sense of emptiness, and helps clients develop small, manageable steps forward. Her work also covers stress linked to caregiving, career transitions and midlife questions. Susan aims to help people build clearer thinking around boundaries, forgiveness, shame and isolation so they can make practical changes. If you are pregnant, planning for childbirth, or dealing with related emotional challenges, she can be a calm presence to talk things through and plan coping strategies.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the person’s lead to uncover what matters most. This approach helps with low self-esteem, life transitions and making decisions about change. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past events affect current thoughts and feelings. It uses careful, paced conversations and practical strategies to reduce distress linked to past harm or abuse. This approach is often used for trauma, dissociation and problems that follow upsetting experiences. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will explore a person’s needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that feel helpful. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made collaboratively, and can be reviewed as therapy progresses. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and medical appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, fewer travel demands and easier continuity when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to practical needs while focusing on the therapeutic goals you set together.
