Susanna "Susan" Abraham, BACP

Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a UK-based therapist who helps people find renewed purpose and greater emotional balance. She meets individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or bereft of meaning and works with them to build awareness, resilience, and practical change. With 15 years of experience, she draws on clinical training and lived insight to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can explore painful thoughts and start moving toward goals that matter to them.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused - sessions are used to identify priorities, gain clarity, and practice ways to reduce distress and strengthen coping. Susan holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a Graduate Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy, and a Certificate in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is listed under RMBACP 41442 (expires 25/04/2025).

Susan works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, career issues, bipolar disorder, and adjustment to life changes. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, blended family and communication difficulties, and substance-related problems. She offers therapy by messaging, phone, and video, and accepts international clients who prefer remote support.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and connection

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust; in sessions Susan helps clients explore attachment histories to improve relationship security, reduce fear of abandonment, and build more satisfying connections. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client as the expert on their experience and emphasizes empathic listening, acceptance, and gentle reflection - it helps people who need a supportive space to process emotions and clarify values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Susan collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and together they select methods that feel most helpful and achievable. This collaborative stance allows therapy to adapt as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Susan is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to access consistent support from home, while still working with a licensed professional who tailors treatment to the individual. The variety of formats supports ongoing care whether someone prefers face-to-face conversation by video or the convenience of messaging between sessions.
