Susanne Guy , BACP

Susanne Guy understands that reaching out for support can feel daunting, and she frames that first step as the doorway to greater self-understanding and improved coping. As an experienced integrative counsellor, she draws on multiple therapeutic theories to explore how past patterns may be shaping present responses and to help people develop new ways of managing stress and difficult emotions.

She offers a warm, safe, personal space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement, and she places emphasis on an authentic, empathetic relationship grounded in trust and respect. Susanne believes that people are the experts in their own lives and that therapy is a collaborative process rather than a series of instructions.

Rather than giving direct advice, she works alongside clients to listen, reflect, and help them map out recurring patterns and emotional responses. Over time this process aims to promote healing and to empower individuals to create the kind of future they want. Susanne holds the credential BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she brings a supportive, person-focused style that seeks to enable growth and self-compassion.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Susanne draws on client-centered work to create a respectful, non-directive space where the person's own priorities guide the conversation; this approach is helpful for people wanting validation, improved self-esteem, and clearer personal direction. Psychodynamic therapy is used to explore how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and behaviours, which can be useful for addressing recurring relational issues and long-standing emotional difficulties. She also integrates elements of existential thinking to help clients examine meaning, choice, and personal responsibility when facing life transitions or uncertainty.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Susanne treats this as a collaborative exploration. She will discuss different methods, listen to your goals and preferences, and work with you to select or combine approaches that feel most helpful for your situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or during busy schedules. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while maintaining continuity of care with a therapist who adapts methods to your needs.
