About Susan
Susan Stewart is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and loss. She brings 14 years of experience and a calm, down-to-earth manner to sessions. Her approach aims to make difficult things easier to talk about and to help people find practical ways forward.
Susan believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. She listens without judgement and encourages clients to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours at their own pace.
Background and approach
Many people come for help with low self-esteem, depression, panic, or the effects of past abuse and assault. Her background includes work with trauma and grief, and she uses trauma-focused ways of working when needed. She also draws on client-centred techniques that place the person’s experience at the centre of the session.
Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, life choices and what gives life purpose. Susan supports people coping with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue and the strain of making major life changes. She also assists those dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation, and forgiveness concerns.
Sessions can explore practical coping strategies, emotional processing and rebuilding confidence. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, chat or messaging. Susan works with people over time to set goals and adjust the way they work together as needs change.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Susan aims to make that step feel clearer and more manageable.

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
She also works in trauma-focused ways when past experiences are causing ongoing distress. That approach helps people process painful memories and reduce the ways those memories interfere with daily life. Existential ideas are used too to look at life meaning, values and broader questions about purpose and direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Susan collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful for their goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust how they work as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video enables face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or written reflection. These formats make it simpler to fit work around busy days and different lifestyles.
