Susan Walker

Susan Walker offers calm, straightforward support for people coping with stress, anxiety and major life changes. She aims to make early sessions feel manageable and practical. Susan is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of experience based in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on everyday worries as well as deeper problems such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addictions and grief. She also helps with relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and parenting strain. Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems and the effects of separation or divorce.

Susan blends several recognised approaches to shape the work. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most to each person. She also makes use of cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and acceptance-based methods to clarify values and reduce stuck patterns.

Sessions are practical and paced to suit the person’s needs. Susan adapts conversations and plans so people can try things between meetings. She aims to offer clear steps for coping better day to day, while also addressing longer-term patterns that cause repeated distress.

People who choose Susan often want a steady, experienced counsellor who listens without judgement. She encourages realistic goals and supports clients as they put changes into practice.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being taken over by them, and then clarify what matters most so actions match values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering non-judgemental listening and support while the client finds their own direction.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to use together. It’s common to blend techniques so the work fits the issue and how you like to learn or practise new skills.

Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people choose remote work because it can fit around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions also make it easier to keep momentum between meetings and to try exercises in ordinary settings, for example practising skills during a break at work or in quieter surroundings at home.
