Susan Kinsella-Brice offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She speaks plainly and helps clients take small steps that feel manageable. Susan encourages people to build on their own strengths and to notice what they already do well.

Susan draws on 14 years of clinical experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation, and problems with sleep and anger.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with addictions, compassion fatigue and ADHD related challenges. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. Susan uses approaches such as client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work, existential reflection and mindfulness.

She explains ideas simply and practices together with the client rather than lecturing. People come to her for help with relationships, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress and career worries. She also addresses more complex patterns like attachment difficulties, codependency, control problems and feelings of emptiness.

Practical coping tools are mixed with deeper exploration of meaning and values. Susan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She works with clients in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

If someone wants steady, empathic support with clear steps, she aims to offer that in a down-to-earth way.

Therapy approaches you can use online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person and their experience, offering a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk through hard moments and decisions. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to make choices at their own pace.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It includes practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.

Emotionally-focused therapy aims to help people notice and shift patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It can be useful for anyone wanting clearer emotional connection or to break repeating cycles in how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss different styles and try out what fits best, adapting methods to a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client helps steer the choice of techniques.

Online sessions can be arranged by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and seeing non-verbal cues, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, and live chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caring duties and day-to-day life.
