Susanna Newsome, BACP, NCPS

Susanna Newsome is a United Kingdom based therapist with 17 years of professional experience, offering therapy in both English and Italian and holding professional credentials BACP and NCPS, which reflect formal recognition in counselling and psychotherapy practice. She is credentialed to work in both the UK and Italy and brings trauma-informed awareness and sensitivity to adult dyslexia into her therapeutic work.

Her practice focuses on relationship challenges, trauma and abuse recovery, career difficulties, and coping with life changes, along with related concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, hoarding, immigration challenges, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, self-love, women’s issues, workplace struggles, and young adult transitions. Susanna creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

Recognizing that seeking change takes courage, she supports clients through compassionate, client-centered work that prioritizes understanding and collaboration. Her approach aims to help people clarify what they want, process difficult experiences, and develop practical ways to move toward a more satisfying and manageable life.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Informed Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's perspective at the heart of the process, focusing on listening, empathy, and supporting clients to discover their own solutions. This approach helps with relationship concerns, life transitions, and building self-understanding by prioritizing the client’s goals and pace.

The trauma-informed aspect of Susanna's work means she pays careful attention to the impact of past harm and works gently to avoid re-traumatization, supporting clients through processing difficult experiences and developing coping strategies that feel manageable.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Susanna collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across locations, including sessions in English or Italian when needed, provided by a licensed professional who adapts methods to each client’s circumstances.
