Susan Spooner , BACP

Susan Spooner is a UK-based therapist with three years of professional experience and accreditation from BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes, drawing on evidence-based techniques to help clients build confidence and move toward the life they want.

Susan frames clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on identifying strengths that can support change. She offers a supportive, strength-based approach aimed at increasing motivation, improving self-esteem, and developing practical coping skills. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including panic attacks, social anxiety, attachment and communication difficulties, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.

Through collaborative goal-setting and steady encouragement, Susan helps people process difficult experiences, restore a sense of self-worth, and learn tools for managing day-to-day challenges. She emphasizes gradual, courageous steps and seeks to empower clients as they work toward greater resilience and emotional wellbeing.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Susan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills for managing stress and anxiety, helping people develop tools to reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of control. These approaches teach strategies for managing intense emotions, improving day-to-day coping, and addressing panic symptoms in manageable steps.

She also applies trauma-aware methods that support processing painful experiences and navigating grief and loss. These methods aim to help people make sense of difficult events, reduce their impact on daily life, and rebuild confidence and self-worth after distressing experiences.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Susan works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapts techniques to fit each person's needs. That means the therapeutic plan evolves as trust and insight grow.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Working remotely can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access consistent support during life transitions, and practice new skills between sessions with guidance from licensed professionals and therapists.
