About Susanna

Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which means she meets standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Susan offers a calm, compassionate way of working for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, loss, or trauma.

Susan creates a simple, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. She listens for the personal meaning behind worries and helps clients set realistic, concrete goals.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. Her approach draws on trauma-focused work, attachment ideas and client-centred ways of listening. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused work to help people notice thoughts, feelings, and actions and try different responses.

This mix supports coping with addictions, relationship strain, grief and changes in life circumstances. Susan has worked with a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, anger, ADHD and career issues. She aims to help people build resilience, improve communication and manage strong emotions more effectively.

The emphasis is on small, steady changes that fit each person’s life. To begin, Susan asks people to identify what they most want to change. She then helps plan steps to reach those aims while adjusting the approach as needed.

Her style is warm, practical and collaborative, with attention to each person’s values and everyday challenges.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Trauma-focused therapy helps people address the impacts of traumatic events by working at a pace they can manage and learning ways to reduce overwhelming reactions. It is often used for lasting effects of abuse, loss or other distressing experiences.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns of relating now. It helps people recognise unhelpful relationship rhythms and try new ways of connecting and communicating that feel safer and more effective.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s priorities, helping them find their own solutions and build confidence.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with a client about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that suit those needs and adapt as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter and longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions work well when camera use is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter, more frequent way to check in and practise skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady, collaborative progress with a registered or accredited professional.
