About Susan

Susan Kinsella-Brice is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She works with adults who are coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, sleep problems, anger, career shifts and depression.

Susan uses plain, direct language in sessions and aims to make the first step easier for someone who is worried or unsure. She believes each person knows their story best and that strengths already exist to help move forward.

Background and approach

Sessions are a place to talk through painful memories and current struggles at a pace that feels manageable. Susan draws on 14 years of clinical experience and brings a calm, steady presence to conversations about loss, trauma and change. Her approach mixes client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural methods.

She also uses trauma-focused work and emotionally focused ideas when relationships or attachment issues are central. That combination helps people name what is happening and try new ways of thinking or behaving. Susan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She practises from the United Kingdom and carries out sessions in English. People can expect straightforward guidance about homework tasks, breathing or grounding exercises, and gentle steps toward rebuilding confidence. She holds space for difficult feelings while helping clients set achievable goals.

Susan supports people who want clearer boundaries, better communication, less reactivity, or relief from painful memories.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Trauma-focused work helps people revisit and make sense of painful events at a pace they can tolerate. It usually involves grounding strategies, gentle processing of memories and steps to reduce the hold traumatic reactions have on daily life. This approach is often used when past events continue to cause distress in the present.

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the session. The therapist listens openly, reflects what is said and helps the person feel heard. This approach is useful for building trust, exploring values and strengthening self-compassion.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In practice this can mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioural experiments and using practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches together and adjust the plan as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback and steer the work toward what feels most helpful.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a visual connection matters, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to keep consistency and work around commitments while using the chosen therapeutic approaches.
