Susan Kinsella-Brice, BACP

Susan Kinsella-Brice is a United Kingdom based counselling psychotherapist with 14 years of professional experience working with adults facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She holds the BACP credential, the UK professional association for counselling and psychotherapy, and draws on that training to provide thoughtful, evidence-informed support.

Her practice commonly addresses stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and the emotional effects of life changes. She also works with issues of self-esteem and identity, relationship and family concerns, addiction, parenting difficulties, career transitions, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Susan emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside deeper emotional work, tailoring her approach to each person's needs.

Taking a strengths-based stance, Susan believes people are the experts in their own stories and that existing strengths can be mobilized to meet current challenges. She supports clients in building self-compassion, increasing motivation, and developing clearer self-understanding while offering steady therapeutic collaboration. Beginning therapy can take courage, and Susan acknowledges and supports that first step as part of the healing process.

Approaches and online support tailored to your needs

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than on labels - the therapist listens with empathy and helps clients explore their own values, strengths, and choices. This approach can be useful for self-esteem, identity work, grief, and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and stress. It combines practical skills and short-term strategies with longer-term coping plans to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships. It is often helpful for couples and individuals managing attachment, intimacy-related concerns, and grief responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan works collaboratively with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, and together they decide which methods to prioritize so the work feels practical and meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow therapy to fit around work, caregiving, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from wherever you are in the United Kingdom.
