Susan Zammit, BACP

Susan Zammit is a UK-based therapist with 11 years of professional experience, offering compassionate, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and eating-related difficulties. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her affiliation with a national professional body and a commitment to recognised standards of practice.

Susan combines Client-Centered (also called person-centred) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. She adapts the tone and structure of sessions to fit individual preferences, working collaboratively to create a treatment plan that addresses emotional challenges, relationship concerns, parenting issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. Her background includes work in diverse settings such as prisons, educational environments, and the National Bereavement Partnership, which has informed her ability to respond to complex and sensitive situations.

Susan emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and seeks to empower people as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. She supports clients through change with practical strategies and reflective dialogue, helping them build resilience and clearer ways of managing difficult emotions and behaviours.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Susan uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals guide the pace and focus of work - this approach helps with issues like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and adjusting to life changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and eating-related concerns. CBT tends to be problem-focused and useful when people want clear tools to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Susan works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans over time to reflect what is most helpful. This collaborative stance supports a tailored pathway to change.

Online therapy with Susan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. These remote options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to continue care when in-person sessions are not convenient, while still focusing on effective therapeutic work.
