About Shushanik

Shushanik Gasparyan is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people through difficult moments. She focuses on making sessions approachable and straightforward so people can talk about what matters to them. Shushanik speaks English and Armenian and brings eight years of experience to her work in the United Kingdom.

She often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship worries, self-esteem, grief, addictions and challenges around eating and sleeping.

Background and approach

Practical life changes, career concerns and ADHD are among the issues she addresses as well. Her background includes work with agencies and international organisations on child abuse projects. That experience informs how she attends to trauma and to multicultural concerns.

She draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns from the past that affect today's choices. In sessions she pairs Client-Centred Therapy with Narrative Therapy techniques. That means she listens for what the person wants to keep or change, and helps them tell their story in ways that open up new options.

The emphasis is on collaboration and on finding approaches that suit each person's needs. Shushanik offers video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging sessions. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

Ways of working Shushanik names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches come to life online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's goals, which helps when someone needs acceptance and steady support. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by re-telling their story and noticing alternative plots that lead to different choices. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions, which can be useful for longer-standing issues such as trauma and relationship patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try ways of working and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where the person's preferences guide which methods are used.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when less bandwidth is available or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, people who process better in writing, or those needing support across a day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare and travel schedules while keeping focus on the issues that matter.
