About Susan
Counsellor Susan Zammit is a BACP member with 11 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and food-related issues, and coping with life changes. Susan also works with concerns around relationships, parenting, self-esteem, anger, depression and ADHD.
Susan uses client-centred approaches and cognitive behavioural methods alongside attachment-informed ideas. In sessions she focuses on what a person is facing now and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She aims for clear, direct conversation rather than jargon or long theory talks.
Her background includes work in prison settings, education and with bereavement services. That range has informed how she manages strong emotions and difficult life events in conversation. She has experience helping people affected by domestic violence, infidelity, divorce and separation, and end-of-life and hospice issues.
Susan also addresses body image, control issues, jealousy, and some complex presentations such as disruptive mood dysregulation concerns and antisocial personality themes. She works with LGBT and gender dysphoria matters and has supported people facing cancer and hospice situations.
Sessions are practical and paced to the person. Susan will usually agree goals and ways of working at the start and review progress as therapy continues. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Susan uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed ideas in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s concerns and keeps the conversation led by the client. It suits people who want thoughtful listening and steady, reflective dialogue. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and tries small, practical experiments to change them. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines. Attachment-based ideas pay attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions and can be useful for relationship and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss options with the client and decide together what methods to use, based on the problem, goals and what feels manageable. She reviews what is working and adjusts the way of working as therapy continues.
The practical benefits of online sessions are that they can fit around daily life and make it easier to schedule appointments. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, sessions without being on camera, or conversations that avoid travel time. The exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors, often offer online work to help people keep therapy alongside work, family and other commitments.
