About Susannah
Susannah "Susy" Rudkin helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and major life changes. She offers support for grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar and depression, as well as difficulties with sleep, eating and intimacy. Susy also works with people dealing with parenting pressures, career uncertainty, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Susy uses practical, hands-on ways to calm racing thoughts and reduce emotional reactivity. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas with client-centred listening.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long analysis. With 17 years of experience she brings steady, practical guidance. Her BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) is included in her professional details.
Susy aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose different responses. In sessions she helps people identify limiting beliefs, break self-sabotaging cycles and rebuild self-trust. Work is present-focused and aims to create skills that can be used between meetings.
She offers a calm, straightforward style and encourages responsibility for change when clients are ready. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Therapy is available across the United Kingdom through online formats, with help to find the best way to work.
Susy frames the process as collaborative and practical, helping people move towards greater clarity and confidence.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Susy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. Together they adapt techniques so the work feels manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Video is good for face-to-face style sessions, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat suits short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to attend from different places and at different times while keeping therapy consistent and skill-focused.
