Susan (Susy) Putnam, BACP

Susan (Susy) Putnam is a counsellor with seven years of experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds through periods of change, loss, overwhelm, and identity exploration. She offers a gentle, reflective space where clients are invited to explore their concerns with kindness and self-compassion, and she keeps the person at the centre of the work so therapy proceeds at a pace that feels comfortable.

Working from an integrative perspective, she draws on multiple theories and techniques to tailor support to each individual, and often uses guided visualisation in collaboration with clients to help find fresh ways forward. Her practice includes substantial experience with neurodiversity, notably ADHD and high functioning autism, and she also works with LGBTQI clients and their family members, welcoming all equally.

Susan brings a creative approach informed by a background in education and years of international experience, including time teaching in prisons. She is known for offering a warm, empathic space for issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Susan is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she welcomes clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and Mindful Approaches for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early emotional bonds, helping clients understand how past connections influence present responses to closeness, trust, and loss. This approach can be useful for relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, and feelings of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the work, prioritizing empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so that people feel supported to explore their own values, choices, and sense of self - it often helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional processing. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and bodily experience, offering practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Susan (Susy) Putnam collaborates with each client to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Sessions are adapted over time so the approach evolves as the client grows and changes.

Online therapy appointments are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to choose the format that suits daily life and access needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules and allow ongoing support for clients who live far from a therapist or who prefer remote sessions.
