About Susan
Susan Gibson is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working to help people facing stress, anxiety and difficulties from trauma or abuse. She has ten years of experience and the NCPS credential, and she aims to create a calm space where people can talk without judgement. Susan encourages small steps that feel manageable for each person.
Her background includes supporting people with low self-esteem, career worries and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on attachment concerns, codependency, feelings of emptiness, and relationship issues such as jealousy and infidelity. Her work combines understanding of emotional patterns with practical steps to build confidence and better coping.
Susan draws on several counselling approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses client-centred methods to follow the person's lead, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and narrative ideas to help rewrite the story someone tells about themselves. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her work when useful.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. She asks people to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Payment is arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Susan usually runs sessions on set days so she and the client can plan a steady rhythm of meetings. She welcomes those who have taken the step to look for support and aims to help them find clearer footing in day-to-day life.
How Susan’s approaches work online
Susan combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people address day-to-day problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s priorities, which helps when someone needs to talk through confusing feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical steps to change unhelpful cycles, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will talk with the client about what they need and what feels helpful, then try methods that suit their goals. This is a collaborative process where the person and counsellor adjust the approach over time based on what is working.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Some people prefer shorter check-ins that suit a work break, while others use longer sessions to go deeper. Susan aims to arrange a session rhythm that fits day-to-day life and supports steady progress.
