About Susan

Susan (Susy) Putnam is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and trauma. She also supports those facing grief, life changes, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges and identity concerns. Susy works with people who are LGBTQI and with those coping with compassion fatigue or career uncertainty.

Susy creates a warm, gentle space where people can speak openly. She keeps the pace steady and focuses on what each person needs.

Background and approach

Sessions centre on the client and proceed only in ways they find comfortable. Her approach is integrative. That means she draws on several ways of working rather than one fixed method.

She often uses guided visualisation in sessions to help people find new ways through difficult feelings or memories. Before counselling Susy worked in education and ran teaching programmes in prisons for several years. She has seven years of practice experience and substantial work supporting neurodiversity, including ADHD and high-functioning autism.

She also has experience with multicultural and family-related concerns. Susan holds BACP registration, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She practices from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Susy welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and values an inclusive, non-judgemental approach. To begin she encourages people to take the first step at a pace that feels possible. She aims to help clients explore their feelings, notice patterns and build practical ways to cope and move forward.

How Susy’s approaches work online

Susy combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred and mindfulness work to help people understand feelings and build coping skills. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when people repeat unhelpful ways of relating. Client-centred therapy means the person leads the work and the counsellor listens closely and reflects what comes up. Mindfulness practices are used in short exercises to help reduce reactivity and bring attention back to the present moment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Susy will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. This collaborative way makes it easier to adjust the work if something isn’t helpful.

Online sessions can be highly practical. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, people who find writing easier, or those who need flexibility around work and family commitments. These options aim to make counselling easier to fit into everyday life.
