About Susan

Susan Spooner is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She works with individuals who are trying to cope with life changes and wants to support those taking their first steps towards feeling better. Susan holds BACP registration, which is listed among her professional credentials.

Susan frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client knows their story best.

Background and approach

She aims to build on a person’s strengths and practical skills rather than only focusing on problems. Conversations are paced to suit each person’s needs and readiness to talk. In sessions she offers straightforward support for practical issues like panic attacks, social anxiety, overwhelm and trouble with motivation.

She also helps people work through relational difficulties such as attachment worries, communication problems, divorce and separation concerns, and feelings of isolation. Susan is experienced in addressing the emotional side of loss, forgiveness, guilt and shame. Her approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to help clients find manageable steps forward.

She encourages self-compassion and clearer ways of relating to oneself and others. For someone who is anxious about starting therapy, Susan focuses on making each session predictable and calm. She aims to empower people to try new coping strategies between appointments and to notice small changes over time.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Susan lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How Susan adapts evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Evidence-based techniques focus on practical, repeatable steps rather than abstract theories. One common approach works on recognising and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and panic attacks; sessions involve simple exercises and homework to try between meetings. Another approach emphasises processing and coping with trauma and loss by helping people tell their story at a pace that feels manageable and by teaching grounding and emotion-regulation skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan treats this as a team effort and will discuss different methods with clients to choose what fits best. She adjusts pace and tasks to match each person’s goals, preferences and life demands so therapy feels usable in day-to-day life.

Online formats offer practical advantages. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a more conversational session. Phone sessions work well when a lighter set-up is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and those who prefer writing to talking. These options give flexibility for busy schedules, shorter weekly check-ins or longer sessions when more space is needed.
