About Susanna
Susanna "Susan" Abraham is a counsellor with 15 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Susan aims to create a calm, compassionate space where people can talk about what is troubling them and find practical ways forward.
Her style is collaborative and warm. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals that match what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building awareness, strengthening resilience, and reducing day-to-day stress and distress. Susan uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape feelings and patterns.
She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Emotionally focused techniques are used when emotions feel overwhelming or hard to manage. People come to Susan for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and trauma.
She also supports issues such as sleeping and eating difficulties, relationship strain, career worries and compassion fatigue. Her approach is practical and goal-oriented while staying attentive to deep emotional material. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or messaging, which she offers to international clients as well as those in the UK.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening, acceptance and supporting the person to find their own solutions. This approach fits well online because the therapist follows the person's lead and creates a steady space for reflection over video or phone.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. In online sessions this can mean doing short thought records, trying small experiments between sessions, and checking results in follow-up calls or messages.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss options and make decisions together based on personal goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions. The plan can change as things progress to keep it useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, homework exchanges or quick emotional support between longer appointments. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or caring commitments while maintaining steady contact with a therapist.
