Susan Hewitt offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She helps clients who are struggling with low mood, relationship strain, trauma, addictions or issues with self‑esteem. Her approach aims to make talking about hard things easier and more manageable.

Susan uses a client-centred style that puts the person’s own goals first. She listens and reflects so people can find their own answers, while also offering practical tools when they are useful.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is part of her work, helping clients spot and change thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression. She also draws on attachment‑based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses. Narrative therapy is used to help people reframe their stories and see different possibilities for the future.

Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, sleep problems and staying present during difficult moments. Susan has 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. That background shapes a steady, experienced manner in sessions and a focus on practical steps alongside emotional work.

Sessions are conversational and tailored to the individual. People can expect clear suggestions, simple exercises and a paced plan for change. The goal is to leave each session with something doable to try between appointments.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting strain, career challenges, bipolar mood management, eating and intimacy-related issues, and coping with chronic illness or life transitions.

How Susan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering gentle reflection to deepen understanding.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) brings practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In online sessions CBT can include homework, thought records and brief behavioural experiments to try between meetings. These approaches suit issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore your needs, goals and preferences and recommend methods that feel like a good fit. That collaborative process means the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video is useful for face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check‑ins or shorter exchanges between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
