About Susan
Susan John uses a person-centred approach that aims to help people feel heard and understood. She blends talking and practical exercises so clients can notice how thoughts and bodily feelings connect. Susan invites people to recognise their strengths and to try small changes that make daily life easier.
She works in a holistic, integrative way, drawing on emotionally-focused techniques and mindfulness alongside hypnotherapy where helpful. This means sessions can include calm breathing, guided attention to feelings, and focused conversations about important relationships.
Background and approach
Those methods are offered with a warm, non-judgemental stance. Susan has four years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
She also addresses concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, career strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties. Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment and abandonment matters, communication and control issues, codependency, and the emotional effects of cancer or caregiving. Susan also helps people facing separation, blended family stress, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged remotely. Her practical focus aims to give people tools to manage tough moments and to build clearer patterns that feel more manageable over time.

Approaches Susan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Susan will work collaboratively to find the best-fit approach for each person. She listens to your goals and preferences and suggests techniques that suit your situation. That might mean trying mindfulness exercises for stress, focused emotional work for relationship pain, or brief hypnotherapy techniques for sleep and anxiety, and adjusting as you go.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be easier when video is not possible; live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and location while keeping therapeutic continuity.
