Susanna "Susan" Abraham, BACP

Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a BACP-registered counsellor with 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She aims to create a calm, compassionate space where people can talk about what is troubling them. Susan focuses on helping clients make small, practical changes to how they think and live day to day so they can feel more hopeful and able to cope.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Sessions begin by identifying what matters most to the client. Together they set achievable steps to reduce stress and build resilience. Susan uses a mix of conversational and structured techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of responding.

Susan works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, addiction, trauma, and sleep or eating difficulties. She also supports people facing career pressures, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. ADHD, bipolar and life transitions are included among areas she addresses.

Sessions blend understanding and practical tools. Clients can expect gentle questioning, reflection on patterns that keep problems going, and clear strategies to try between meetings. The work often covers attachment and relationship patterns, emotional processing, and changing everyday habits of thought.

Susan accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Her practice uses messaging, phone and video formats; check current session options before booking. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help people spot repeating relationship patterns and practise different ways of connecting with others.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and uses empathy and reflection to support change. In remote sessions this approach gives space to talk things through at a comfortable pace and to build trust over time.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Online work often includes short exercises and homework to try between meetings so new habits can form in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a plan together. That means methods can be adjusted as the relationship develops and new needs appear.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family life and avoiding travel time. Some people prefer phone check-ins as a shorter option, while video lets the therapist and client use real-time conversation and visual cues. Confirm which formats are offered before booking so sessions match your routine and needs.
