About Susan

Susan Clayton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She works with depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, self-esteem problems and life changes. Susan uses a calm, direct style and treats people with respect and sensitivity.

Susan holds BACP which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of clinical experience and has spent a lot of time supporting people through bereavement and loss.

Background and approach

Her consultations are tailored to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as talking through what matters most right now. Susan draws on a mix of approaches to match the issue and the person.

Those approaches include trauma-focused work, acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-based ideas and cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. She also uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the conversation grounded in your priorities. Susan accepts clients from the UK and internationally and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments that suit them. The subscription plan used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that suit online therapy and trauma work

Trauma-focused work helps people process distressing events and learn ways to manage upsetting memories and reactions. It aims to reduce the impact of past harm on daily life and can help with sleep, mood and relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to live with difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most to you. It can be useful for anxiety, chronic stress and adjusting to life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand trust, boundaries and how to form healthier connections with others.

Susan approaches choice of method as a collaboration. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences and try different techniques to find what fits best. The plan can change as needs evolve so each person keeps a say in how sessions are structured.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit a quick check-in and messaging lets people share thoughts between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
