About Susan
Susan Spooner helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She works with people coping with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and the knock-on effects these bring. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Susan is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - registered counsellor with three years of experience. She begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her and then co-creates simple steps to try between sessions.
Background and approach
She focuses on strengths people already have and on small changes that add up over time. Sessions are relaxed and direct. Conversations cover what is happening now, how it links with past experience, and what can be done differently.
She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns and how they affect relationships and coping. Practical tools are offered for panic, stress and social anxiety, alongside space to make sense of grief or past trauma. Susan also supports people working through divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and the search for self-love.
She aims to help people rebuild confidence and find clearer ways to cope with difficult emotions. Progress is paced to each individual's needs. People who value a warm, pragmatic counsellor often find her style helpful.
She encourages realistic goals and celebrates small steps. If someone prefers straightforward, compassionate support for everyday struggles, Susan can be a steady guide on that path.

Focus areas and approaches
What Susan works with
Everything Susan lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Another approach looks at how relationships and attachment shape feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in communication, loneliness, guilt and shame and try alternative ways of relating. This can support work around divorce, separation and rebuilding self-worth.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and work together to decide which techniques to try. Decisions are reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can change if something is not helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for a fuller conversation, phone can be easier when less bandwidth is available, and messaging allows brief check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
