About Susan

Susan Hewitt is a counsellor with 13 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and problems with self-esteem. She also works with those coping with trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and relationship concerns.

Susan aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. She creates a non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and situations. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on small, practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Attachment-based ideas are brought in to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.

She also uses client-centred skills to follow the client’s lead and mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness. These methods are combined to fit each person rather than applied the same way to everyone. Susan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises in the UK.

Sessions are offered in English and she works online via video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with a suitable schedule and session format. The focus in early meetings is on immediate concerns and on practical, achievable goals.

Ways of working Susan names

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

Approaches and online therapy that work together

Two of the main approaches Susan uses are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns influence current responses and helps people build healthier ways of relating.

Susan also uses a client-centred stance, which means sessions follow the person’s priorities and pace. Choosing the right approach is a shared process - she will work with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals and preferences rather than insisting on one path from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer a written format or who want more flexible, quick exchanges between meetings. These options aim to increase accessibility and help people maintain continuity of care despite busy schedules.
