About Susan
Susan has also provided pre-marital counselling and has experience helping clients navigate sensitive topics such as family dynamics and communication struggles. In sessions she focuses on creating a nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings honestly and at their own pace. She views the decision to seek help as a courageous step and aims to guide clients toward greater satisfaction and wellbeing through collaborative, evidence-informed work.
Her practice emphasizes empathy, active listening, and practical strategies tailored to each person’s situation, helping clients build skills for change while attending to the emotional realities that brought them to therapy.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion regulation, and it supports people working through abandonment, attachment concerns, and family or relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s innate capacity for growth by creating a respectful, non-directive space where individuals can explore their experience and develop greater self-understanding.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to connect with licensed professionals from home or wherever they feel most comfortable. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work.
