Susan John , BACP, NCPS

Susan John practices a holistic, integrative form of counselling that pays attention to both thoughts and bodily experience, helping clients identify and release emotions that no longer serve them. She blends different therapeutic methods to match each person's needs, drawing on practical coping tools for those who prefer short-term work as well as deeper exploration for longer-term change. Susan holds BACP and NCPS professional counselling credentials and brings four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

Susan has supported people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, identity and LGBT-related issues. She also works with challenges such as eating and sleeping problems, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and many forms of attachment and relationship strain. Her practice extends to adults and young people, and she is open to working with international clients.

Known for an open, honest, compassionate and non-judgmental manner, Susan encourages clients to see themselves as the authors of their own stories and to build on their existing strengths. Her empathic approach explores vulnerabilities to foster insight and self-awareness, while practical strategies in the here and now help clients cope and move forward on their healing journey.

Client-centered and emotionally-focused support online

Client-centered therapy places the client at the heart of the work, offering a warm, non-judgmental space where individuals lead the pace and focus. This approach helps people clarify values, build self-understanding, and strengthen their capacity to make changes that fit their lives.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on identifying and working with core emotions and attachment patterns. It is aimed at improving emotional connection in relationships and helping individuals shift long-standing interaction styles that contribute to distress. Mindfulness therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and bodily sensations with gentle attention, which can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susan works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support from different locations and on varied schedules. These options can help clients maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
