About Susan
Susan McGrattan is a counsellor with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and offers practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship struggles. Susan aims to make sessions straightforward and useful so clients can take steps forward between meetings.
Susan works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, self-esteem and addictions, as well as eating and sleeping difficulties. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Background and approach
Her practice includes additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, chronic illness and body image. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Susan listens first, then helps people name patterns and try small changes.
She uses practical conversation and evidence-informed tools to help clients build coping skills and manage intense emotions. Sessions are led by the person attending and paced to what feels manageable for them. Susan can discuss relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, commitment and codependency concerns.
She supports those facing bereavement and loss as well as people living with chronic pain or caring responsibilities. Work often combines short-term strategies with deeper reflection to create longer-lasting change. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, users are invited to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical activities. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing day-to-day stress.
Different approaches work for different people, and finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process can include trying one method or combining elements from several approaches.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video meetings allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or work around a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family or travel commitments while using the approaches above in a way that suits each person.
