About Susan
Susan Hewitt is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 13 years of professional experience and works with people in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression.
Susan focuses on creating a space where clients can speak openly about what is troubling them. She listens without judging and helps people to name the patterns that cause distress. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention paid to thoughts, feelings and everyday behaviour.
Her approach draws on several established methods. Client-centred work puts the person’s concerns at the heart of each session and supports decision making. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try small, manageable changes in daily life. Attachment-based ideas help look at how past relationships affect present ones.
Susan also uses mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people relate differently to difficult memories and feelings. Together these approaches can be used for a wide range of concerns, from grief and addictions to career stress and body image.
People usually begin by describing what they want to change and what matters most to them. Susan then discusses how her way of working might help and agrees a plan for the first sessions. The emphasis is on clear steps and practical coping strategies alongside reflective conversations.
How attachment, CBT and client-centred work apply online
Susan draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current reactions. This approach can help with relationship problems, intimacy concerns and patterns that repeat over time.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small changes in behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties because it links thoughts to what people do day to day.
Client-centred work keeps the person’s priorities at the centre of sessions and supports decision making. It helps people to feel heard and to explore choices about next steps.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then agree an approach together. That plan can change as the client learns what helps best.

They also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day and let people avoid travel time while keeping regular contact with a counsellor.
