Susan Morris, BACP

Susan Morris is a therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with teenagers and adults on a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief. She brings three years of direct clinical experience to her practice and holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised professional body for counsellors in the UK. Susan frames her work around helping people feel less overwhelmed, build confidence, and reconnect with what brings them meaning and satisfaction.

Susan aims to create an approachable, warm, and easy-to-talk-to atmosphere where people can explore the thoughts and feelings that are affecting daily life. She understands that certain life events and ongoing patterns can produce persistent symptoms and a sense of disconnection, and she supports clients in examining the roots of that distress so they can move toward relief and clearer priorities.

She has particular experience supporting parents whose children are struggling, offering practical and emotional guidance when managing a child’s emotions feels confusing or isolating. Susan also works with family members of people living with dementia and recognises the unique challenges that slow-progressing illness brings to relationships and caregiving roles.

How Susan Uses Therapeutic Approaches in Online Sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and emotional patterns. In online work, this approach helps clients explore connection, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues to improve current relationships and reduce feelings of disconnection.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, non-judgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead. It supports building self-esteem, coping with life changes, and clarifying personal values by offering empathetic listening and validation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In remote sessions it can be used to address anxiety, low mood, stress, and unhelpful thinking patterns through structured techniques and collaborative homework.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susan works collaboratively with each person to identify what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can adapt methods over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, caregiving, or geographic limits, and allow therapists and clients to tailor contact to what feels most practical and effective.
