About Susan
Counsellor Susan Spooner is a BACP member practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self esteem and life changes. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and to make everyday life more manageable.
Susan listens to each person’s story and treats them as the expert on their own life. She helps people identify strengths they can use when things feel hard. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make small, practical steps clearer.
Her work often covers related concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems and the fallout from separation or divorce. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and panic attacks. Post-traumatic stress and social anxiety are further areas she addresses.
Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and to help people practise new ways of coping. She works at a pace set by the person in front of her and checks progress as therapy continues. The emphasis is on clear, manageable tools rather than jargon.
People choosing to contact her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Susan does not accept international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns and behaviour. This approach looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and teaches practical ways to change them. It can help with anxiety, panic and social fears.She also uses approaches that focus on emotions and relationships. These methods help people understand how past attachments can affect current feelings and interactions. They can be useful for grief, shame, isolation and problems with communication.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options with the person and agree on goals and methods that suit their situation. Adjustments can be made as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during work breaks. It can also avoid being on camera if that helps, or use lower bandwidth options for poorer connections.
