About Susan
Susan John is a counsellor who combines talk-based and body-aware work to help people untangle painful patterns. She sees the mind and body as linked and uses that view to help people notice feelings, understand them, and find ways to move on. Susan holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers a straightforward, compassionate presence during sessions so people can speak openly about what’s hard.
Susan helps with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and identity questions, including LGBT matters. Codependency, abandonment and attachment concerns are listed among her focus areas. Sessions can be used to develop coping strategies for everyday pressures and to work on longer-standing emotional patterns.
Her practice draws on client-centred ideas to place the person’s experience at the centre of the work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy influences how she helps people notice and name feelings in relationships and close connections. She also uses hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools when these suit a person’s goals.
Susan works with young people and adults and aims to be direct, honest and non-judgemental. She offers both short-term practical support and longer work that builds awareness and change. People are invited to bring what matters most to them and to shape sessions around those priorities.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The site uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Sue’s approaches translate to online counselling
Susan works from client-centred and emotionally-focused ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead to build understanding and change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name feelings that show up in close relationships and use that awareness to shift unhelpful patterns.She also uses mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools when they suit a person’s goals. Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away, which can reduce stress and improve sleep. Hypnotherapy is used as a relaxed, guided way to access attention and suggest helpful shifts in perspective or behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Susan will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. The decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and hypnotherapy recordings in the moment, helping learning transfer into daily life.
