About Susan

Susan Chambers is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She supports people dealing with trauma, addiction and life changes. Her work aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to take small steps towards change.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, with listening and practical steps that match each situation. The goal is to build confidence and a clearer sense of direction over time.

With four years of experience, she has worked with a wide range of concerns. This includes relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment or abandonment concerns and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Susan draws on client-centred approaches to keep the person’s priorities central. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily life. Together these approaches help people process painful events and find ways to cope better in their everyday routines.

Sessions are conducted in English and she practises in the United Kingdom. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies by location and therapist availability. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online counselling

Susan uses client-centred work that puts the person’s priorities first. This approach focuses on listening closely and helping people name what matters to them, so sessions often involve reflection, gentle questioning and practical next steps. It can help with stress, self-esteem, career decisions and relationship concerns.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past events continue to cause distress. This involves carefully processing difficult memories and developing coping skills to reduce their day-to-day impact. It can be helpful for people managing abuse, dissociation or longstanding emotional pain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

The practical benefits of online counselling can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier. Many people find it simpler to schedule and keep appointments around work or caring responsibilities. If you want to know which session formats are available, please confirm the current options before booking so you and the therapist can choose what fits your routine.
